snoop1130 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Manhunt launched for bus driver who fatally assaulted and robbed a passenger Police have launched a manhunt for a bus driver who allegedly attacked a woman passenger and robbed her of her valuables. The bus driver, identified as Watcharin Prathumporn, is on the run after he allegedly attacked the lone passenger in the bus, Mrs Boonpen Punyo, 56, on a dirt road which is not the normal route used by buses of the Roi-et-Buri Ram bus service. The victim died from serious face and head wounds after she was hospitalized. The incident took place on Saturday night on a dirt road in Ban Dong Bak Nong Taten, Tambon Na Seenuan, Payak Poompisai district of Maha Sarakham province. The Roi-et-Buri Ram bus got stuck in the dirt road and was left abandoned there. Curious villagers went on board and found blood trail and alerted their village headman who then alerted the district police. The found the injured woman passenger in the bushes not far away from the bus and rushed her to the district hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly afterward. The victim’s daughter told police that she managed to talk with her mother on the phone who said she was in danger and that she might be killed. Police later questioned the bus owner, Mr Supol Boonkerd, who said he received a call from the driver, Watcharin, saying only that he was driving the bus back to Payak Poompisai district after offloading all the passengers in Roi-et. Supol further said Watcharin used to be a bus assistant before he was upgraded as the driver and that he had behaved well all along.

ClutchClark Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Its as if there is no hesitation between Impulse and Action. There is no inner voice that says this is not a good idea. These are the kind of people that prisons are full of. They have no place in society. They are animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lone female passenger on a bus at night - too much temptation. Buddhism, living in the moment, has its downside, if you factor in the bad guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 He drove her out in the sticks first before killing her so it is premeditated murder, hopefully he gets the death sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right It seems to me that part n' parcel of becoming a Thai bus driver you need to have some deep psychotic defect considering how many of these loonatics have been seen to lose the plot one way or the other. I don't want ambushed by statistics from around the globe about other nutters. However, Thailand seems to get it's fair share though. Unfortunately, the little wisdom that the world possesses, was introduced by lunatics. Edited August 30, 2016 by ScotBkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been caught somewhere in Maha Sarakham province and confessed. He was hiding out in shack on the fields. Report found in Thai language only (not allowed to link).

BSJ Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The cops would have done the world a favour if they had treated him like a rabid dog. The murdered girl can never come back and resume her life, why should he have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacChang Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 After running out of other solutions, Prayut has confirmed that all inactive posts have been used up and now he invokes Section 44 to allow the villagers to do as they wish with this animal.
