Rimmer Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Pattaya, 13 October,2009, [PDN]: the unidentified dead body of a foreigner was found burnt on a pyre of 5 car tires by a bushwalker on 7 October, 2009, who, helped by a group of locals, put out the fire. Following police investigation, a senior police spokesman announced on 13 October that he thought it likely there was some foreign mafia involvement in the murder. Borthong Police were originally notified at 9.00 am, on 7 October, that the incinerated body of foreign man, aged about 30 and 175 cm tall, had been found in a sugarcane field near Nernmoke-Tablang Road, Moo. 7, Borthong,Chonburi. His head was covered by a towel and had been extensively hacked, seven wounds having been inflicted by a sharp implement . No documents or any other evidence was found to identify who he was. The murder shocked the local Chonburi residents. Police then began extensive investigations, with detectives questioning locals in the area and following up all reports of missing foreigners. After nearly a week, on 13 October 2009, Police Major General Tanet Pinmeung Ngagm, Chonburi Police Commandant, announced that there was suspicion that a foreign mafia gang was involved and said he had commanded Police Colonel Pakorn Maneepakorn, Borthong Police Superintendent to collaborate with Pattaya and Sattahip police to investigate the case further. "We just need to create awareness because there's always someone out there who saw something, and may not be aware (that) it's connected to someone who's missing," a police spokesman told PDN. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 081-9098109, 080-247677,081-6374092 or call the area police stations.

PhilHarries Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I like the way they suspect it is the work of a FOREIGN mafia gang. Like, none of these beautiful, smiley, happy Thais would ever do that kind of thing to a guest in their country would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylophone Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 On a similar vein, what happened as regards the enquiry into the farang who was blown apart with a remote controlled device a couple of months back......supposedly foreign mafia involved there as well????

brahmburgers Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thais are usually quite aware of what goes on in their neighborhoods. There are often dogs barking and people peering inquisitively in every direction. The OP doesn't mention the estimated time the crime took place. It says a sugar cane field, so that sounds rather remote. Yet still, there could be witnesses. There had to be at least one car parked/motorbike nearby, so someone seeing a bizarre scenario could have taken license plate numbers or called police. Naw, too remote of a possibility. Altogether a sicko barbaric act, and one a Thai gang is capable of, as much as a farang gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
