webfact Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Popular "Uncle Smiley" slaughtered in knife attack under expressway in Bangkok Image: Thairath BANGKOK: -- A popular man who slept out under the expressway in the Rama 6 area of Bangkok has been brutally murdered. His real name was never known but everyone in the area appreciated his warm smile and the fact that he never seemed to have a problem with anyone, reported Thairath. A local lady said they all called him "Lung Yim". Aree Markmoon, 44, a caretaker of a manicured area of garden opposite Klong Prapa where the man slept told police that she was the one who found the body on Monday. "Lung Yim", who was aged about 50, was well known for selling the Thai Rath newspaper at the nearby intersection so that he could make ends meet. He was found with ten stab wounds to the neck and body. Police said that "Lung Yim" had lived out in the area for around twenty years. His meager possessions were scattered all around and there was blood all over the grass and shrubs. Commissioner Sanit Mahathavorn and Bang Seu police went to the scene to gather evidence and police so far have little to go on suggesting that the murder could have resulted from a disagreement or theft.

Left to fend for himself by an incompetent, selfish and corrupt government (past and present) and then stabbed brutally to death. All-in-all, a very sad story.

rkidlad Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Okay, okay. Popular homeless men get killed on the streets everywhere. Don't criticize. You all happy now? One step forward, two steps back - that's the key to progress. RIP to the homeless man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have stepped up ? Hard to say. I didn't know him. But yes, if someone I knew was having a rough time I would try to help. Its one one thing if you don't know someone to let them in your home but, like I said, if people knew him and he was well liked then I have trouble comprehending why people would not help him.

RIP There certainly are homeless in my country but it doesn't make this any less tragic nor does the lack of assistance from the state seem any less justified. We're not comparing the two. It can still be wrong both in Thailand and back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLDBUGGY Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Well at least me know he wasn't killed for robbery. More likely not a jealous husband or girlfriend, unless they can carry a grudge for 20 years. Certainly not some drug deal that went bad, or some Loan Shark as nobody would lend him money. It certainly wasn't suicide. He didn't seem to bother anyone either. It looks like a totally senseless killing, with no motive at all, and in which makes this so sad.

All-in-all, a very sad story. popular not in the sense of a rock star but generally pleasant person who possibly greeted passers by and did not go out of his way to offend others.i feel sad that a sould already undergoing so much difficulties in life had to end up that way.
