BANGKOK: -- Crime suppression police say they have arrested a hit man wanted on multiple murder charges in Nakorn Sri Thammarat in southern Thailand. The lawless province has some of the worst gun crime and murder rates in the country.

Chaiyan Intharawijit, 52, was said to have been hiding and working as a contractor collecting litter in Lat Krabang near Bangkok. He denied everything, reported tnamcot.

He was wanted on warrants for premeditated murder and weapons charges in both Nakorn Sri Thammarat and Thung Song provinces.

Police have described him as the number one hit man in the area who owned a large cache of war weapons.

He had already been sentenced to death for the 1998 murder of Hiran Thongjinsang in Nakorn Sri Thammarat but managed to escape. He is also wanted for the war weapon shooting of Suriya Mukwat in 2010 and the sniper rifle assassination of Suriya's father Somporn Mukwat last year.

Police believe that the assassinated father and son were responsible for the murder of the hit man's son.

Crime suppression police...........in the lawless province=somebody is not doing their job

revenge for son's murder ha.......i like that!.......war weapon/snipe the father........But i still don't think he's the no1 hitman in thailand

"Police believe that the assassinated father and son were responsible for the murder of the hit man's son."

And were they?

So, since 1998 the man is running around free, escaped death sentence, working and killing people at whim

presumably under his own and the police couldn't him or didn't bother to find him

for nearly 20 years? something is amiss here......

"Police believe that the assassinated father and son were responsible for the murder of the hit man's son."

And were they?

If the police say so it must be true.....why he was free for nearly 20 years might be because it was ordered hit by police at the time.....

Just business that's all

next time i be careful around those who collect litter, might be a hitman in disguise. I AM WARNED

I remember way way back around or before 2000 the BKKPost or Nation had an article about all the hitmen in Thailand. I was shocked that they could write about them giving their names or nicknames and the areas where they worked. Why didn't the government didn't arrest them? Just amazing Thailand. Some people certainly have privileges in Thailand's crimeland.

Stone age axe, 16th century crossbow, a medieval trebuchet?

What's going on with the finger pointing these days?

Lift your game boys!

Scared to, in case he escapes next week??

"Police believe that the assassinated father and son were responsible for the murder of the hit man's son."

It's like another Thai soap, isn't it?

Movie material.

Top Thai hit man working as a garbage collector? Not a glamorous career choice.

I'm interested in why it's necessary to have 'Crime Suppression Police' - isn't this the task of all the other police departments as well?

There is actually a special department called this, saw the HQ recently whilst driving through BKK.

Is that a tipbox on the table ?,maybe looking for some money for doing their job.

regards worgeordie

If police said, then it must be true? Like in Koh Tao case? Like in 17 dead innocent children burned alive by fire?

Notice how all police buildings of the different departments are very new and modern,while they are surrounded by archaic(badly in need of m/over)

buildings.....one could easily get the impression that the police is modern and equal to their western counterparts!

"But i still don't think he's the no1 hitman in thailand"

That's not what the headline says. He was the number one hit-man in Thailand's murder capital (Nakhon Si Thammarat) .

A big difference.

....so if he was sentenced to death for the 1998 murder.....why waste valuable police time with photos and this story.......enact the 1998 sentence......!!!!.....

whats up with Nakorn Sri Thammarat and murder?

Well no problem back on street on bail awaiting appeal Oh Officer I need to go see UFO monk he is cousin need to make merit.

He will probably mysteriously disappear before he ever goes to court. The people that hired his services will obviously not want to be named...

One hit man down god knows how many more to go?

Here in Thailand anyone can be a hit man...a wife's brother, who needs help throwing someone of a balcony ....a business rival that needs a plastic bag on his head or an environmentalist that needs an assisted hanging or two.

Good to see someone organised in Thailand.

... can do the job once to satisfaction, and then repeat the same task, over and over, to the same standard

... this is unheard of in Thailand!!

He should get at least a 'work ethic' award to compliment his death sentence!

Actually it is really bad all over south Thailand and I am not talking about the far Muslim south but the very Buddhist not so south, mostly because they have more money to kill each other over, more so then in the north or center.

One thing I always say is if you think Thai people are bad southern Thais are at least 3 times worse...OK maybe 10.

Good job that they actually catched him , this time he will not escape prison . He is in for the rest of his life, I'm sure.

Wow,,,this is Great News,,,,Only 1 Lawless Province,,,

And I thought that the Whole Country was Lawless,

That's what I call a big improvement

Do you really think such a big difference?.....having had bestowed on him the title of no1 hitman in thailand's murder capital is no mean feat(p/the pun)

they say he was apprehended working in the garbage/litter disposal industry........Sounds like he had plenty of experience taking out the trash
