Last suspect in Chakkrit murder arrested



BANGKOK: -- The last suspect wanted by metropolitan police on the shooting of former national marksman Chakkrit Panitchpatikam in October last year was arrested Sunday in Chana district of Songkhla province.

He was identified as Thawatchai Phetchoti.

He fled Bangkok after having joined in the team to kill Chakkrit on October 19 last year and worked in Chana as a tuktuk taxi driver.

Upon arrest in Songkhla by metropolitan police, he confessed that he was paid 200,000 baht by a lawyer who was called Tanai Id to ride a motorcycle for the gunman to shoot Chakkrit.

Both the gunman, Chirasak Klinklai, and the lawyer Santi Thongsem, had been arrested earlier in Bangkok.

The lawyer was arrested after the police arrested a go-between Miss Woraphanpuri Montri-areekul, alias Jae Mam, who was paid to find a gunman to shoot Chakkrit by the victim’s mother-in-law Suranga Nuakchinda. Jae Mam later implicated the lawyer in the conspiracy.

But the lawyer claimed Mae Mam was just one of his clients who hired him to defend a case but strongly denied knowing anything about the murder conspiracy. He also said he did not know the mastermind, Mrs Surangka who was said to pay 1.2 million baht to him to find a gunman to shoot her son-in-law Chakkrit.

Following the attest of Mae Mam, police later arrested the mother and her daughter Mor Nim.

But the mother confessed to hire the lawyer by herself while her daughter was not involved. She said she was angry and could not tolerate her son-in-law bullying and assaulting her daughter so much.

But the police believed Mor Nim also knew of the plot to kill her husband.

Both Mor Nim and her mother have been freed on a 500,000 baht bail each.

The mother had earlier recalled how much she and her daughter Mor Nim have been suffering from her son-in-law thinking that when he was freed from the military prison, he could behave better.

However she said that his behaviour went worse with more threats and assaults on her daugher. This prompted her to get him out of her daughter’s life.

Minburi police in Bangkok are prepared to escort Thawatchai Monday to reenact the crime on Soi Ramkhamhaeng 166.

Must be something wrong with the report because I always read on this forum, posted by people with the right connections, that it's only 5000 Baht for a hitman.

You can get a hitman for B5000...of course, he will "hit" the wrong guy in front of 6 security cameras and his girlfriend will stall the get-away motorbike and they will all end up on TV with grinning cops in the background, pointing at pictures of you.

Ohh...and no refunds for shoddy work.

This whole sad, sorry sequence of events from this guys original arrest to his murder is one if the most convoluted I have come across in a while. The only person possible to feel sympathy for is the wife (maybe). The rest deserve each others cowardly, chicken-crap, company.

You can get anything for anything in Thailand, you just have to know where to look

I doubt she wasn't involved in the whole saga,so I don't think there's any need to feel sympathy for her. This is based on personal experience as well as those of people I'm acquainted with.

Maybe a soap actress will start a petition calling for the execution of those who hire gangsters to kill an unwanted (but asset rich )husband/son-in-law. Doubt it.
