Police arrest Myanmar man who killed roommate
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Police yesterday arrested a Myanmar man who they claimed killed his countryman and sucked his blood because the man had a crush on his wife.

Udomsuk Police Station superintendent Pol Colonel Somphorn Krissanapipat said 30-year-old Aike Hla killed his 20-year-old roommate Sai Lin on October 2.

Somphorn said Aike had confessed to the crime.

He said Aike stabbed Sai in the neck and body three to four times before allegedly sucking the blood from the knife because he believed the murdered man's spirit would follow him for the rest of his life if he didn't. He then covered Sai's face with a cloth and lay next to the body until the following morning.

Aike re-enacted the crime before police. Somphorn said Aike and Sai had rented an apartment at Bangkok's Prawet district and after the murder he hid in Samut Prakan.

CCTV footage at the apartment complex showed a man running from the room where Sai was killed with suitcase. He left the scene in a taxi.

The Thais are busting more Burmese, they're freeing Laos, they're chasing cambodians, and they are "hunting" Turks. They are rarely if ever tracking and/or arresting a Thai.Never a Thai Mr. Big being hauled off in hand cuffs. No big Thai swindlers, gangsters, bankers, insider traders. Thai bigs are impervious to prosecution.

To make matters worse don't the Thai Mr. Bigs know it !

How often when small fry are arrested do we read the stock phrase " believed connected to a local politician / influential person " and that's where that part of the story and investigation ends.

what always amazes me is that if any suspect get caught they always confess strait on the spot and even crimes done previously(not even asked for)...

think the RTP got a lot of authority.

Ooh diddums, spitting the dummy ?

If forum members were to post for absolute guilt would you find cause for innocence ?

[BSJ]

One could say this is an 'Open and suck case'!

One could, but one shouldn't.

[doremifasol]

This whole story really "sucks", pun intended.

Pity he's poor or he could kill somebody then clear off to Cambodia or Singapore for a few months and never have to spend one night in jail, as has been the case.

[muratremix]

What more proof you need to believe Koh Tao murderers were Burmese!

Look! They are also vampires too! Sucking blood and sh!t!

I don't think he's spitting the dummy, it sounds more like you are doing that. Perhaps he's making an accurate and relevant observation?

and perhaps you haven't been following the KT story from the time it was first reported or are you someone else using another name ?

Blood sucking, murder, spirit...sound just like one of the everyday soups in Thai TV.

Now available in Thai newspapers version too. Yay!

Much as I hate to rock the Thai Visa boat and from observing members comments for some time I do realise there is a hierarchy here in some members eyes but your comment about aliases seems a bit hypocritical as I'm pretty sure NongKhaiKid and The Stuttering Parrot are not the real names of the posters I responded to.

# 17, your birth certificate says ' Swiss Geez ' ? Oh Wow

[lee b]

Think he needs to been seen by a doctor as well. Something is not right upstairs !

[Friendly Stranger]

Sucked the blood off the knife so the dead man's spirit will not follow him. Seriously, I don't think Stephen King could make this up.

I guess it's a bad week to be Burmese.

Actually as a hunter you always drink the blood of your kill to absorb the spirit of the animal.....

Perhaps he was taught this also but misunderstood this was for animals and not for people...

[emilymat]

Is the guy, running from the apartment into a taxi, the same man as the confessor as he is said to have lain next to the body? It's not clear from the story.

Next few weeks chNces are we will see many murder stories and crime stories about Myanmar nationals, after all the eorkd media must understand how bad they are just like the British couple murderers.

Just imagine?

Sucking blood from knife ??

Sleeping over night by the dead body but also said seen run away to taxi after murder.
