BANGKOK: -- A murder suspect who has been on the run for 13 years was arrested Friday shortly after he posted his selfie shots on his Facebook wall.

Police arrested Thana Kanchanasak, 37, on a bus from Chaiyaphum heading to Bangkok after he posted his selfie shots and updated his status on his Facebook wall.

Thana was accused of stabbing his long-time foe, Nopparit Maneechote, 35, to death at 11 pm on Augusts 24 2002.

Earlier, police could not trace Thana but he recently posted his photos visiting his mother in Chayaphum, allowing police to plan his arrest.

Pol Maj Thanaprom Thana-arphakorn, an inspector of Metropolitan Police Division 8, said Thana had recently created a Facebook account.

He has recently uploaded his self-portraits on the Facebook wall when he visited his mother for the first time. When he visited his mother again and updated his latest developments on the Facebook wall, police could track him and arrest him on the bus.

Moron.

Caption reads as follows Look at me" I'm STUPID" of course it only took 13 years statue of limitations expire?

In this instance at least, it sounds like a job well done by the Royal Thai Police.

a post saying "look at me, I'm stupid" .. then mentioning "statue" of limitations in the same sentence? .... seriously ?

Rule 1 never post your picture of yourself on the web after committing a murder.

Now I guess he's suffered a loss of Facebook.

What a plank!

Ending a sentence with "seriously? " doesn't sound entirely intelligent either.

Don't think a murder charge ever "expires" but maybe in Thai, anythings possible....

Almost certainly there was victim's family tea money in the equation, otherwise no interest.

Retard!

Not the sharpest tool in the box.

what a wally thirteen years on the run then posts a selfie on facebook he probably thought the police had forgotten all about him .

good police work

Not necessarily only stupidly, but arrogance too. I've avoided capture for 13 years, so no darn way I can be caught now! Facebook here I come!

Personally I do not like facebook, just a stupid diversion to me. My Thai wife loves it, thinks it is great, I just do not like putting things out there.

Finally Facebook was good for something

Retard!

No.

Alleged murderer...a little more serious.

If it was crime to be a retard...many posters here would be locked up.

And people wonder why i refrain from all social media,,

I am not certain about Thailand but in general if a warrant was issued for a crime there is no statue of limitations as it is on on going concern and charges were filed and not answered for.

Statue of limitations apply to crimes where no warrant has been ever issued and there was never a suspect. Also as somebody else mentioned more serious crimes do not have statue of limitations such as murder, rape and child molestation.

It is 'Statute of Limitation' and this does not apply for capital crimes, in Australia at least, and probably elsewhere.

My point was they also don't apply when you were accused in the first place. Making the whole statue of limitation angle a moot point.

Statute of limitations is 20 years for murder

Should have used an alias!

Statutes of limitations are laws passed by a legislative body in common law systems to set the maximum time after an event when legal proceedings may be initiated.
