UDON THANI:-- A Sakon Nakorn man has admitted to the brutal slaying of his wife in a downtown Udon Thani soi on Sunday, reports Thaivisa News.

Waitress Chamaiporn Ruangpheung, 31, was hacked to death by her boyfriend, in a murder that shocked the North Eastern town. She was believed to be six months pregnant with the child also dying as she was stabbed 16 times.

He claimed that he killed her as she produced a phone and thought she was calling another man who was his rival. She was believed to actually be calling police to try to help her and had even contacted officers in another district earlier in the month to say she feared she might be attacked.

High ranking regional police announced the arrest of Taweesak Kasemrat Thursday in a media conference that took place in front of Udon Thani police HQ. Taweesak, they said admitted to murder and was taken on a reenactment for the media to all the places he had been on the fateful night of the vicious slaying.

Police lay in wait for Taweesak at several locations including the red light district of Soi Nana in Bangkok where the couple had lived and where Chamaiporn worked for several months.
He was eventually apprehended at his house in Sakon Nakorn. Police recovered bloodstained trousers, a switch blade knife and a motorcycle in evidence.

Bunleu Korbangya of the Region 4 constabulary said that the slaying took place in Soi Pracha-uthit at 1.35 am on Sunday. The victim was a waitress at the beef noodle restaurant called Delight that was nearby. She was stabbed 16 times in the chest, neck and palm and later succumbed to her injuries.

Police said that Taweesak went to the restaurant before it closed then went to drink alcohol nearby. When Delight closed he followed his wife and an argument about another man erupted. Following the killing Taweesak disappeared on his bike.

Police staked out three places, one in Sakon Nakorn, another in Chachensao where the victim's mother lived and also Soi Nana in Bangkok. They waited for him for several days.

Police knew from CCTV that he had driven to the outer ring road in Udon but he in fact headed for Bung Karn before later going home to where he was arrested.

Taweesak said he had known his wife for a long time and accepted that her first husband had gone abroad to work. They had lived together for six months in Soi Nana where he had taken Chamaiporn to work while he was a driver and security man.

They had split up after jealous arguments with Taweesak claiming his wife had another man.

In fact it emerged that the victim had filed a complaint with Song Dao police on March 11th that she feared her jealous husband might attack her.

In performing the reenactment of his crimes Taweesak told reporters: "I followed her in a darkened soi after the restaurant closed. We argued. She pulled out her phone and called someone for help. I thought she was phoning her boyfriend. I was drunk and angry. I pulled out a knife and stabbed her many times then ran away and threw the knife in bushes.

"I went to see some people in Bung Karn then went home to Sakon Nakorn. I didn't expect police to be waiting for me there."

Jesus christ someone do the honours and send this appalling sub human to the next life without delay. The current recipe seems to be Thai man + alcohol = disaster.

RIP to the lady and her baby

[catman20]

another bully with low self asteam and confidence. suppose he will be out in 5 years.

[Happy Grumpy]

another Thai 'man' viciously murdering his female partner in a fit of rage caused by jealousy.

They really, really, do have serious emotional and egotistical issues to battle, with more than a smidgen of repressed anger due to the culture and society.

So many are simply pitiful.

[uthaithanirules]

I for one am impressed how quickly the thai police handled this one

[Happy Grumpy]

^ I'm surprised he isn't police.

[captspectre]

that clown took his wife/girlfriend to work at soi nana and did not know what was happening? what did he think she was doing? selling roses? he was a pimp plain and simple! and it is amazing that he was surprised that he saw another man! these thai men who let their girlfriends/wife work in the red light districts amaze me as to what they expect!

[kennalder]

The only re-enactment I want to see is one of what the police did when the woman first expressed a fear for her life.

[BudRight]

I wonder why the suspects always agree to do the reenactments.

I'm not. Reason being its so ghastly even Thais knew this couldn't be over looked as some domestic that got out of hand.

This was no murder it was an execution. This bastard has no right to live and given the same treatment he gave this poor defenceless woman and her unborn baby. He needs to be taken out and shown no mercy.

They say life is too short but seems to be more shorter for others this a perfect example how evil people can be. RIP

Because they are told that by confessing and reenacting they will avoid the death sentence.

You really need to get out more. I often follow links to articles I'm interested in and find local news stations or newspapers that have a dozen stories about people who do the same stuff except in the U.S. This is just a tiny fraction of these events, which are so common they are not considered "news." In fact, for the most part, in the U.S. now if fewer than four people are killed it's not going to be reported at all. We have at least one of those a week and increasing. Oh, unless there's a Muslim involved, of course.

[bander]

Time for TV bar stool detectives to solve the case.

She worked at Nana Plaza and her Thai boyfriend Mr. Taweesak was her pimp.

Then she went home to Udon after an argue with the boyfriend and I guess he wasn't happy about lose his income so he followed her and killed her.

Case closed.

RIP to Chamaiporn Ruangpheung and her unborn child.

I know what "English Bob" would have said, unfortunately I can't say it here myself....or some would say it's fortunate....

Security men in Thailand like to kill people with a knife;

How are they enroll by their boss ?

Many thai men have a pea instead of the brain

Another post about "this happen in US also", yes it's happening all around the world but this is a Thai forum where crimes and murder in Thailand is reported, we live here and not in the US. How many murders committed there every day dosent konsern us here in Thailand.

When a post gives the suggestion that "this only happens in Thailand" I think it is fair to point out that these things happen the World over.

[gyrosman]

After all these years here, I still don't get the point of re-enacting the crime. Asia's love the camera.

What surprise me is all the Thai girls who happily let herself get pimped by a low life, psychopath, maniac Thai man.

In Pattaya I see motorbike taxi drivers who work in front of their "girlfriends" bar, that way the girls cannot cheat them and say "no customer last night".

[riverhigh]

"I went to see some people in Bung Karn then went home to Sakon Nakorn. I didn't expect police to be waiting for me there."

Your'e typical psycho. No remorse. Doesn't believe he did anything wrong in his little perverse world. Why would police waste their time waiting at his home on such a trivial matter? No hope for this guy. If left lose on society its just a question of time before he repeats. Being the coward that he is it would be another person that could not defend herself/himself.

[maoro2013]

Girlfriend or wife?

As he had a rival probably actually girlfriend.

Yes, this is a Thai Forum. A Forum where many posters repeatedly imply that there are more jealous/dangerous men in this country than in any other, that Thais have a pea where their brain should be, etc. A Forum that would often deserve to be renamed 'Thai Bashing Forum'.

It's unpleasant for some, but hey, Forums are for expressing one's opinions and maybe, just maybe, opening our minds to other people's opinions. You just expressed yours, Acharn expressed his. You call his reaction hackneyed. Well, for the record, so is yours.

Lastly, I don't see why, just because I live in Thailand, I should not be 'konserned' by things happening elsewhere. What you're advocating, here, apparently, is a parochial attitude which speaks volumes about you, Sir. Or should I say 'gnädige Herr' ?

Makes no sense whatever how a man can pimp out his wife to farang without feeling or regard, then become insanely jealous when a man of his own race enters the frame?

Many moons ago, in the early evenings, we used to enjoy sitting in the bar on the second floor of Nana, the bar on the left as you went in, forget the name now, long time ago, might have been nicknamed the Office. You could sit and look out over Soi 4 and watch the world go by, watch all the ladies arrive on the back of their boyfriends/husbands bikes. Never could get my mind around that. Finally settled on the fact that they must just see us as buffalo, hence no threat at all to their male ego!

Anyway, I soon learned that it wasn’t uncommon for them to return, pick up their lady, whisk her off home, relieve her of her hard earned, make a swift exit, then it was off with the boys in search of cards, whiskey and fresh meat!

All my gf's friends are asking me to find a farang bf for them, rich or poor, doesn't matter; they've had enough of the average Thai male. Quite a few of them have hitched up with tomboys, also for the same reasons; tired of scrounging, immature, violent and jealous idiots

Serious shake up needed ...... the world is watching u Thailand

So you have well over a thousand posts and you still don't realise you are on a THAI FORUM. Nobody cares or is asking you what happens in the US.

"I went to see some people in Bung Karn then went home to Sakon Nakorn. I didn't expect police to be waiting for me there."

Like, you've just stabbed your G/f to death and you don't expect police to be waiting for you at home. OMG, clearly mentality (if any) of pond life.

And as Thailand has only c.20% of the population of the US (i.e 5 times smaller), it's a meaningless comparison. Like comparing a sea perch to a whale (given some latitude).
