Bang Saphan police have arrested a Burmese man for the murder of a 22 year old karaoke serving woman on Wednesday.

 

He has admitted the murder and been taken on a reenactment to the scene of the crime - a hotel room next to the karaoke lounge.

 

He was made to apologize in front of relatives to a picture of the victim laid on the bed in the room where he had strangled Prakarat Phromkhot, a Kalasin native.

 

Police arrested Wae 45, on Saturday after surrounding a rubber plantation where he worked. The man has no apparent surname.

 

He was shown CCTV footage and admitted that was him. Police took into evidence his unregistered motorbike used to flee the hotel and his clothes. 

 

DNA was taken from him and will be compared with skin found under the victim's fingernails.

 

Police said Wae had scratches all over his body.

 

Wae said that he had got drunk then taken the victim to the adjoining hotel. He got angry when the victim got a phone call from a man. 

 

She said she had to leave and as she got up to go he grabbed her by the neck and hauled her back in the room.

 

He then smashed her in the face and strangled her to death before putting the body on the bed. He then fled the scene on his motorbike.

 

Later Saturday he was taken on a reenactment. He was guarded by 80 police after reports of the reenactment reached an angry crowd of locals who converged on the scene. Wae was wearing a flak jacket for his protection.

 

He showed police where he drank, the room where the crime was committed and what he did. Relatives watched on as he prayed in forgiveness to a picture of the victim that was placed on the bed in the hotel room.

 

The family thanked the Bang Saphan police for tirelessly working to solve the case over the last two days.

 

Police said that CCTV footage was instrumental in a swift resolution of the case.

 

Wae has been charged with murder.

Is there any particular reason you feel entitled to see the CCTV footage of a criminal investigation? Do you have an interest in the case?

  Hopefully not with 380 volts on/ at his balls.....

    Of course, would he immediately know if the DNA fits, or not. It's great to have so many Colombos on this forum.

 

     Such members are highly important to catch the rat.

It quite possible it is the offender however can you believe anything that RTP comes up with even a false DNA comes to mind, although scratches all over him and skin under her finger nails would sorta nail the guy.

What could be done if there were no Burmese living an working in Thailand?

About as much interest as you have clicking on this thread on a lazy sunday afternoon!!

 

It was a tongue in cheek comment in respect to the CCTV footage.....but i'm sure his lawyers would want the DNA 

results and CCTV at hand if he pleads not guilty.......deja vu.........boo hoo!!

 

 

I thought the placing of the death scene picture in front of the relatives and making him apologise to it was a nice touch by the RTP.

NOT.

220V phase to ground = 380V 3 phase to phase.   You just have to hook up the right wires.

Here we go again with the predictable comments. Many posters here don't think a Burmese is capable of committing a crime, and that they are framed every time. Thais are arrested and sentences for crimes all of the time, so the "poor framed Burmese"  argument doesn't hold any weight . The family of the victim wouldn't be satisfied if they framed an innocent person.

he's trying to make a comment on the incompetence of the police...and a review of the cctv footage would confirm if the burmese fellow was indeed with the victim...

I'm not so sure...families often want closure, not justice...they just want "somebody" to pay for their loss, and burmese make an easy target...i wouldn't be surprised to find that burmese do actually commit more crime than thais...but revenge is often blind...

Must have been very big news for sleepy little Bang Saphan.

Burmese ay..............
