Three people hacked to death in a rubber plantation



BANGKOK: -- Three rubber tappers were hacked to death as they were sleeping at a worker’s lodging in a rubber plantation in Chart Trakan district of Phitsanuloke early Monday morning.

Police identified the three dead victims as Mr Sophon Kaewcharoen and a married couple, Mr Charin Petchkong, and his common law wife, Miss Wanthanee. All had serious knife wounds on their faces, heads and necks.

Police suspected that the triple murders were motivated by a conflict over the sharing of earnings from the sale of para rubber.

It was reported that the three victims and another man, Mr Pisaruj Chanthapa, an employee working in the rubber plantation had sold para rubber for about 10,000 baht and then split the money among them.

On Sunday night, the four and a Burmese worker had a drinking party at the workers’ lodging until all got drunk and separately returned to their room. On Monday morning, the Burmese worker tried to wake the three victims up by knocking at the doors of their rooms after they didn’t show up despite the fact that it was already late for work.

The Burmese worker smelled blood and then alerted the owner of rubber plantation who broke open the two rooms and found the three lying dead in pools of blood.

The fourth man, Pisaruj, disappeared with his motorcycle. Police suspected that Pisaruj might have committed the murders because he was upset that he was given a fair share of the 10,000 baht revenue.

Police are looking for Pisaruj who is still at large.

<<because he was upset that he was given a fair share of the 10,000 baht revenue.>>.......... love the journos in this country.

Hub of being hacked to death.

So totally pathetic...sorry for these people' families......

Education and understanding can sometimes be so precious.

A reminder that life is cheap here....

RIP

Life is cheap period, where I am at at the moment is the Hub of mass murders. At least 4 murders in the past 2 weeks of 2 or more people over nothing other than some idiot deciding to kill people.

Hub of being hacked to death.

That would be the DRC

This idiot murderer has watched too much Thai daily soap-opera. This moment only 5 million people know he was.

savages

You would be wrong about that. You are many times more likely to be murdered in Thailand as you are where you are.

Also in the last week or so 3 police officers were killed and two wounded in Canada, a place that has 1/10th the population of your place and where there is gun control.

These OP killings were done with knives, but haters are going to hate.

Rubber tapper murders. First you hear about all the rubber tappers that have been murdered by southern extremists in Thailand's deep south, now unfortunately, due to completely unrelated reasons rubber tappers in north central Thailand were murdered. As mentioned, these two types of murders are completely unrelated, but it seems to me that rubber tapping is a very dangerous occupation in Thailand, for reasons completely unrelated to the actual job responsibilities. Sad, but oh well, what can you do.

So totally pathetic...sorry for these people' families......

Education and understanding can sometimes be so precious.

You cant educate drunks,when boozing takes over.... everybody is a loser.

anger management

social skills

booze - drunk ----soaps ----immature -----lack of selfesteem when sober.....availability of lethal weapons

and this is the end result on a daily bases.

Follow........the........money.......... Asia is so easy to figure out....

"The Burmese worker smelled blood "

How does blood smells?

sure I killed 'em They owed me 25.00 dollars Jesus h Christ!!

$25??? You mean B2,500 (~$77) = 1/4 of 10,000 Still a paltry sum to die over.

Ohh Lord ! The price of life. I am sure the authorities will have this creature arrested in short order and put into a cage where it belongs.

"The Burmese worker smelled blood "

How does blood smells?

It is quite potent a smell when in the quantities I suspect were present at this crime scene.

How does blood smells?

like copper/mettallic

Smells kinda metallic to me

Pisaruj is not Thai. Thai's do not commit crimes. Pisaruj has white skin and round eyes and resembles a westerner.

It would be nice if the Army gets this person and deals with him.

Thai party.

Whiskey and Machetes.

Somebody fled on a Honda wave.

I'll see you again in the news forum soon. Probably tomorrow or the next day.

Never trust the mental health of people who force themselves to smile and laugh at everything.

I wonder how many locals here have it in them to do something similar when they feel aggrieved, see themselves as disrespected and finally snap.

Remember the policeman who executed 6 of his colleagues at the promotion party because his colleague was promoted, around 1-2 years ago.

The samurai sword taxi driver who hacked the American to death over 50b and a sense of disrespect.

After living here for years, I have very, very little to do with Thai people.

Very wrong NeverSure (good name)! The murder rate in USA and Thailand is equal: 4.8 per 100K inhabitants.... (UN Office on Drugs and Crimes Report)

Canada has a very low 1.6 rate, whereas countries in Central America and South America are the top ten since 1995.

It's nice to see the Burmese guy hasn't been blamed ... yet!

Well put, 332! Was about to write something similar - especially reg. the "force themselves to smile" thing I totally agree. In 23 years here I have seen and heard about a lot of very disturbing things Thai men can do when intoxicated and/or feel offended. Appears to me that a much higher percentage of Thais and Southeast-Asians in general (compared to westerners) have what one would call 2Faces. Nice and polite when sober, a hyper aggressive short-fused idiot when drunk. I stay away from such peope - at least I try to...

RIP to the victims and family!

Thai's do not commit crimes...this is so true...they never admit any wrong doing...and are rarely caught and prosecuted...it is the white devils that cause all the problems in Thailand...get real...!

my god this is terrible. My previous TGF who ditched me because I refused to "Buy some land so we can plant rubber trees and make lots of money". So, I would be the ATM that provides the funding and then.. well my livelihood is in the hands of Thais and doing business their way. I honestly feel like I have been saved from a fate worse than death.
