German Engineer Killed By Bomb In Chon Buri

CHONBURI: -- The torn-apart body of a German engineer was found in rubber plantation in Banglamung district here Friday morning, police said.

Police said the remains of Uwe Keienburt, 45, who was an engineer of a real estate company, was found by a rubber tapper in the morning.

Police said the bomb appeared to be C4 explosives tied to the body of the man, whose BMW car was found left about 500 away.

Police said the killer used a remote control to detonate the bomb that torn his body into pieces.

His wife, Araya, 40, told police that the German engineer left their house on Soi Sukhumvit 24 at 9 am on Thursday and disappeared.

She said her husband had conflicts with a group of foreign real estate developers and he sued to receive a death threat.

sad news.. one thing bothers me, the last sentence in this clipping. not sure why.

[hanno]

Holy s**t indeed. Rough business, this whole real estate thingy.

Condolences to the family.

[Gianni77]

Crap... it sounds evil!!! Poor dude and also sorry for his family.

[midasthailand]

Now, Now James, it wouldn't be the fact that the sentence begins with "She said....." would it?

I guess he wouldn't have felt much pain at least. RIP

[losworld]

Sounds like the work of Russian mafia who have been watching a bit too much "Man On Fire". Poor guy. RIP.

It seems many of these suits seem to be settled outside of court so to speak.

This should really be good for tourism to Pattaya. Wonder how this is going to be discussed by the powers in charge.

Kin ell, what the <deleted> next?

Won't be heard of outside the country.

[Datsun240Z]

Must have been a personal conflict, but then again, why he commited suicide himself?

[mrtoad]

Certainly one of the more unpleasant stories in the recent weeks. For a change it looks like the BIB have ruled out suicide pretty quick.

Condolences to friends and family.

Kind of puts the "getting cut in front of in line" thread in its proper perspective. Sad and shocking news.

why would you say that? it's on the front page of one of two english newspaper websites here.

[cutz]

again lak of respect for human life!! big condolence to the family (this really is gonna bring germans to thailand)

[Soupdragon]

Blowing him up with military grade explosives isn't exactly your average bump off the competition with a .38 revolver.

Sounds like someone is sending a very clear message going to such extremes.

[Detox]

The sheer panic he must of went through knowing this was about to happen.. RIP Uwe

I wonder how this is going to be discussed by people in the real estate business ?

[foxxx]

hardcore... strapped with c4 with a remote trigger.

how doesn't that warrant a massive search and crack down.

Nobody mentioned 'Pattaya' until you did! Thanks!

[Hermanus]

Let him RIP, whats next, what a world we are living in?

Condolences for his poor family.

[way2muchcoffee]

One comes to expect certain aberrations and excesses living here in Thailand. But this one is seriously twisted. RIP.

[cdnvic]

Removed a couple posts making light of the unfortunate man's death. As family members may read this, please have a little common courtesy.

[angiud]

Gulp. What a cruel way to kill somebody.

Thailand is always, more, a violent country

Very well put - I am not sure what this was all about but this is a very strong message and shows connections above and beyond a group of foreign real estate developers

I seem to have read a map somewhere that said that Pattaya is located somewhere in Chonburi. Or maybe the map I saw from the government was in error?

[SiriusBlack1]

The story says Banglamung, which is the district where Pattaya is.

Anybody knows more details about the dispute? How much is involved?

There are two reasons for this question. a) Everybody says life is cheap in Thailand. I want to know, how cheap? I could also try to figure out whether I qualify for C4 or .38.

[amarka]

hi....

so does anyone know what this is all about.

what disputes did he have?

pretty serious stuff..... this was a serious exection style killing.....

Agree 100%.

If crimes like this go uninvestigated or are just accepted ('well it happens in the US ') then our society is beyond farked...

Whoever committed this crime (If it wan't suicide; I don't know.) needs to be caught and sentenced extremely harshly; life, meaning life.
