Police say Priyanuch claimed to love victim but revenge 'lesson' got out of control, leaving her to wonder how to dispose of body

 

BANGKOK: -- AT THE END of the chase in a 10-day murder saga that has transfixed the nation, a suspected cold-blooded killer confessed to the murder and dismemberment of her friend due to a personal grudge concerning narcotics and a debt, national police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda said yesterday.

 

The victim Warisara Klinjui was arrested on drug-related charges late last year and implicated Priyanuch Nonwangchai as being involved in a drug gang, Chakthip said. He added that the women also had an issue concerning a Bt40,000 debt.

 

“The alleged murder was caused by a personal conflict after Warisara told police about Priyanuch’s involvement in a drug network that led to her arrest,” Chakthip said in a press conference. He was speaking after talking to Priyanuch, Kawita Rachada and Apiwan Satayabundit, who face arrest warrants for murdering and hiding Warisara’s body. 

 

The three confessed to all of the charges, said Chakthip.

 

After the killing, Priyanuch, Kawita and Apiwan escaped to Myanmar under pressure from Thai police, Chakthip said, and they decided to surrender to Myanmar police in Tachilek town. Myanmar police then handed them over to Chiang Rai police on Saturday night. 

 

Police found Warisara’s dismembered body in two buckets and buried in a field in Khon Kaen’s Khao Suan Kwang district on May 25. Her body was cut in half and her neck showed traces that someone had unsuccessfully tried to cut her head off. Initially police could not identify the victim but they followed a clue provided by a tattoo on her body and eventually linked it to Warisara.

 

The investigation then identified Priyanuch as a suspect, drawing attention from the media and the general public because of her appearance and lifestyle displayed on social networks, as she commonly put videos depicting her talking on Facebook. 

 

The public was also shocked after the killing when she apparently changed her Facebook cover photo to one depicting Chucky, the doll character in “Child’s Play” horror films that delights in mutilating people.

 

Her escape to Myanmar generated rumours that she was a money collector for a drug gang operating in Myanmar that smuggled drugs from the Golden Triangle, with commentators speculating that she had been helped by gang members or killed by them to prevent them from being linked to her. 

 

“I want to reiterate that the three suspects had nothing to do with a transnational drug network as reported in the media. They were only drug users in Khon Kaen,” Chakthip said.

 

Priyanuch and Warisara had not seen each other for about a year until they accidentally met when Priyanuch saw the victim at a venue in Khon Kaen, the police chief said, adding the victim then got into a car the suspect was driving. Those details seemed to indicate that the meeting had not been planned, but Priyanuch has been charged with premeditated murder and hiding the body.

 

Chakthip quoted Priyanuch as saying she loved the victim, but just wanted to teach Warisara a lesson. “However, she strangled her and realised she was dead, she did not know what to do. When the body turned stiff, she thought about dumping it into water or cutting it up like in movies she had seen. She chose the second choice.”

 

The suspects yesterday were scheduled to travel to Khon Kaen and would be detained there, while they were scheduled to re-enact the killing today. 

 

Chakthip did not provide further details about each suspect’s particular role in the crime, while 22-year-old Wasin Namprom, who was already in police custody in relation to the crime, had blamed Priyanuch as Warisara’s killer and the person who dismembered the body. Wasin claimed he had only served as a driver.

 

On Saturday night, it was reported that Myanmar police arrested the three women but it was later confirmed they had turned themselves in. Later, CCTV footage emerged showing them walking in a Tachilek market. 

 

Chiang Rai police separated the three to interview them as reports said they looked tired and had asked for their interviews to be cut short. A photo showed them sleeping in a row apparently at the police station.

 

The suspects were expected to speak at a press conference at the Chiang Rai police station yesterday. However, the the suspects were whisked out of the station to a van and taken to board a helicopter to Bangkok.

 

Chakthip interrogated the women but another planned press conference featuring them was cancelled and Chakthip spoke to reporters instead.

 

Meanwhile, a source close to the investigation said Priyanuch had not wanted to surrender to authorities after the crime out of concern for her two alleged accomplices, who had asked for more time to accept the consequences of their actions.

 

The source quoted Priyanuch as confessing to killing Warisara over the money-related dispute and for revenge, while her friends Kawita and Apiwan allegedly helped to cut up the victim’s body to cover up the crime. 

 

According to the source, Priyanuch had thousands of baht in cash when she fled to Myanmar with Kawita and Apiwan. “We worked at a karaoke bar for about two days. But due to pressure from authorities, we had to quit our jobs there and move to various small villages in Tachilek,” Priyanuch was quoted as saying.

 

Despite being grief-stricken, Priyanuch’s mother said she was glad her daughter was being held by police, otherwise she could not have survived.

 

Sakorn Pasee said yesterday that although her daughter had been arrested and would be put behind bars, it was better that Piyanuch did not have to flee to other countries.

That´s what they have been saying about video games, movies and too much looking at the digital world for decades. It has been pointing at children, though. Now it´s appearently reaching the "adult" stage.

3 bar girls confess of killing their colleague over debt and drug business

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The three female suspects in the murder and dismembering of a bar girl have allegedly admitted to the police during the initial interrogation that they did kill their victim due to conflict over illicit drug business and debt, according to Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichinda, the national police chief, on Sunday.

 

The three suspects, Ms Preeyanut Nonewangchai, Ms Kawita Ratchada and Ms Apiwan Sattayabundit, who are also karaoke bar girls turned themselves in to police in Myanmar and they were handed over to Thai authorities. They were flown to Bangkok from Chiang Rai on Sunday and immediately escorted to the Royal Thai Police to be questioned by the police chief.

 

After a 30-minute interrogation, Pol Gen Chakthip told a press conference there were five suspects involved in this case and all of them have already held in police custody.

 

He said that the murder of the victim, Ms Warisara Klinjui, was motivated by conflict over debt between Ms Preeyanut and the victim and narcotics, resulting to the arrest of Ms Preeyanut on drug charges previously.

Time to all live in caves again. Back then we just used a piece of wood to hit each other over the head and steal each others wifes and daughters.

 

Those were the times...

Don`t believe it. These women are going to make every excuses under the sun to cover up the facts that they are the bottom end range of whores, habitual criminals and sadistic killers who probably enjoyed every moment of their victim`s agony. All this plus their admittance of guilt is just a ploy so they can avoid the death penalty or maybe have their prison sentences decreased.

 

Not intelligent but as cunning as <deleted> house rats, they know every trick in the book how to get around the system to make it lighter on themselves, because they know the game is up and it becomes a case of making this as economical for them as possible.

 

This murder was an in-house gang dispute, some of the lowest forms of life in society, and can only be of benefit when taken out of society.

Very strange! The crime was committed in Khon Kaen. The investigation has been conducted throughout by Khon Kaen police, and yet the alleged perpetrators are taken to Bangkok to be questioned by the head honcho of Bangkok! Perhaps the Bangkok police couldn't accept that a "rural" division of the RTP had conducted a successful operation!

What this case needs is more glamour and to be taken less seriously. One of the girls as least is 'pretty' (that's subjective). Let's have them using more make-up and have more behind the scenes pics of them sitting casually with no handcuffs, etc, chatting with useless coppers. 

 

Let the police and these girls milk this photo shoot opportunity as much as they can until this abhorrent murder case is simply forgotten about completely. 

 

 

[IamNoone88]

Nasty pieces of work .......

[mikebell]

No movies or TV for them in jail - to protect the other inmates.

[petesc55]

That's funny, now they want to wear masks and sunglasses.    

 

I'm surprised 'jugs' doesn't have her tongue hanging out like she does in some of her pictures.

 

[leeneeds]

Some people should be denied air, 

[clockman]

Why do they allow masks hats gloves, when they are in custody? The B.I.B.treat them like movie stars? They are drug dealing, murdering whores.!

Your nose is growing Pinnochio! 

[Xonax]

One known drug dealer kills another known drug dealer.  Why had those criminals not already been locked up in Bangkok Hilton for 10-25 years like all other arrested drug dealers?  Did they perhaps bribe the officers with sex and karaoke songs?

Simple answer. The 'head honchos' in Bangkok always want their picture on the news and moments of 'fame', even though they may have nothing to do with a case.

[wvavin]

This country is absolutely pathetic by treating the 3 suspects like celebrities. Unbelievable!

[BangkokReady]

Ridiculous and misleading title.

 

The accused says that the idea to cut the body up came from a movie, not the idea to kill her. Supposedly she didn't even mean to kill her, just to scare/punish her (not that that excuses what she has done).

 

Another case of the media se

"Movies ‘inspired’ grisly murder"

 

nsationalising things because they like a "movies caused people to kill" angle.

[farcanell]

So no more debate required about the fact that Thais "can't" commit these heinous acts.... the Burmese, spaniards et al, must be feeling safer in their beds.... but, they should remember........

And it is growing very fast and very long. How can this police guy make such a statement when the investigations about the circumstances of this brutal killing have hardly begun? Smells like a cover-up right from the beginning. 

[The Deerhunter]

Did anyone else notice the inconsistency?  The killing concerned ed a 40000 debt but it was nothing to do with drug dealing.  They were only users.

[anon467367354]

rather than pixelating cigarettes and alcohol, they should pixelate the entire screen of these ridiculous dramas on TV. Just sayin'

[ThailandLOS]

What's up with her necklace - is she trying to come across as some kind of victim now?

Myanmar police, drugs, Khon Kaen police, Bangkok. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that there are police involved.

[lvr181]

Along with the Red Bull case, actress drunk driving and others similar, could the RTP be a case of modern day 'Keystone Cops'? 

 

They are not all corrupt/incompetent/media tarts but too many seem to be.

Not that.
The BKK RTP just wanted to meet the girls and get their mugs on the tv.
Took them to BKK in a helicopter for god's sake. Those girls would have thought they were rock stars!

Yeeeees...and Marilyn Manson was responsible for Columbine!

Off course it´s excuses! I don´t believe it either. It was just the most stupid comment I could execute at the moment. 

[cardinalblue]

Glad they were able to request shorter interviews And press conferences...

 

it is bizarre how they are and will be treated as celebrities...

 

if some low level vendor or farmer commits the crime, does he get a helicopter ride with a window seat?

 

looks and image are everything in this country even w/o financial status...
