Thaivisa News Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Bangkok:- A 30-year-old Russian tourist was arrested early Monday for allegedly clubbing a security officer of a Bangkok temple to death, police said. Pol Lt Phairoj Suwanmanee of Bang Rak police station, said Nikolai Zhilin was arrested shortly before 1:30 am after he allegedly smashed the head of Prajak Sutthiketkan, 27, who worked as a security officer of Maha Pruettaram Temple. Phairoj, an interrogator on duty of the police station, was alerted at 1:30 am that a Russian man was caught by local residents after he allegedly killed a security officer of the temple. Phairoj, scientific crime defection officers and Ruam Katanyu Foundation rescuers rushed to the temple and found the body of Prajak with serious wound on his head. They found that the Russian man had been caught by the local residents and the tourist could not communicate with police officers as if he were insane. Prajak’s girlfriend, Linda Singharaj, 29, told police with her eyes brimming with tears that she worked as a worker of the temple in charge of the car park. She said she closed the gate to the car park at midnight and then she heard glasses breaking from inside the car park. When she rushed to check, she found a farang using a steel pipe to hit a pick-up truck’s windows. She said she told the man to stop but he turned to attack her with one-meter-long pipe. She ran and cried for help and Prajak rushed to her rescue. Prajak told her to call police but he was knocked down by the farang who then repeatedly hit his head. The Russian climbed over the fence to flee but he was caught by local residents. Bang Rak police chief Pol Col Nakhon Thongphanit said Zhilin entered the kingdom on March 2. It was still not known why he made the attack, Nakhon said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It is a long road with no turns, and the bridge is narrow.What goes around, comes around, and often in spades.This Russian is off to a lifetime ...however long that turns out to be ... in a ring of hell I would not wish on many.i do wish it on him, for he is a coward of the lowest form and deserves what he will get in a Thai prison for killing a Thai defending both a woman and a temple.There is nothing they can ... and will ... do to him I would spend one Satang to prevent.The lowest of the low.

I do not think the tax burden will be for too long a time, and the tax payers will get their money's worth in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jungle Jim Posted March 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2015 Another Russian in a temple story. I think its time the Thai government serious consider banning them and a long list of countries from entering Thailand. Well i hope this guy rots in the Bangkok Hilton. Enjoy your life time stay in your cell with twenty or more guys and the floor covered in piss and crap. Killing him would be the easy way out for him. Let the bastard suffer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtomtom69 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Probably not Russian. The last Russian tourist left Thailand a few months ago. I don't think so. There may be a few fewer Russian tourists here than a few months ago, but this year will probably still end up with more than a million Russians, with future years possibly showing signs of growth again. I've seen plenty of Russians around, as usual in recent times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please TAT !! go ahead with calling such tourists as future for the Thai tourism 555555 But kick out westerners which want stay for the cold winter months here !! I don't see any westerners being kicked out or leaving here apart from during the protests last year maybe. It's still as easy as ever to stay in Thailand, both short term and long term as long as your paperwork is in order. Just because they don't want you to stay in Thailand on continuous 15-day stamps with a border run to a neighboring country doesn't mean they don't like you. It means your method of staying here is not within the purpose with which the 15-day (or 30-day) stamp was granted. You either get a proper visa allowing you to stay longer or even indefinitely (subject to being eligible to renew) or you leave. But nobody is forcing out any "westerners" or anyone else unless they don't have the right paperwork or is a criminal. I have no idea what you're talking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, maybe even a death penalty with 2 hr notice and let him freak out every time he sees a guard with a bit of paper.

Popular Post DaveinAsia Posted March 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2015 As always the eye for an eye responses that show the intelligence of many posters here. Many people somehow still believe that we will rid the world of all evil by being evil ourselves. How can that work? We've tried this medieval policy for 100's, if not 1000's of years and there are still many evil forces at work. Maybe it's time for a new approach.

sambum Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) "Phairoj, scientific crime defection officers and Ruam Katanyu Foundation rescuers rushed to the temple......" Slightly off topic, but I think something has been lost found in translation here:- "scientific crime defection officers" An alternative description for "volunteering" for an inactive post, perhaps? And on topic, another absolutely shocking story about lack of respect and violence towards our hosts from a "quality" visitor from a certain part of the world Edited March 9, 2015 by sambum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Maybe we have more access to "news" these day but hardly a day goes past without either a death or an assault in Thailand. "land of smiles" slogan may as well be shelved forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Benmart Posted March 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) What is it with the Russians and temple's this is at least the third incident i can remember recently, maybe they should be banned from temple's, better still the whole country. Seems that various régimes in history have identified, stereotyped and persecuted people based on race, national origin, religion, etc. Bigotry and xenophobia are sordid relations and seem to bubble to the service, much like the noxious gases from the La Brea Tar Pits. I wasn't there. I don't know anyone that was. I don't know anymore about the incident, other than reading this article, which was written by someone who also wasn't there. I don't know everything. I leave that to others. Easy Does It. Edited March 9, 2015 by Benmart 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
