A man met the ghastliest of scenes
yesterday, September 15th, when he went to
visit a friend who lived in a sugar cane
plantation in Udon, Thailand.
Teerayut Promkhao, 40, called out to his
friend thinking he was still asleep in the
early morning hours. But he was not in his
bed under the mosquito net, reported Daily
News.
So he went to the kitchen area and found a
trail of blood leading outside. His friend's
head and torso was stuffed in a fertilizer
sack
Next to that were his friend's arms severed
at the shoulder and legs cut off at the knee.
These four limbs were stuffed in a blue
bucket. Two large kitchen knives were laying
about.
He rode off in a panic and called the cops.
The grisly murder happened about one
kilometer from the village of Non Sawan.
The dead man was identified as 50-year-old
Panya Thongsri, who was looking after the
plantation for his wife who was working in
Korea.
Police found a red bicycle at the scene that
they think belongs to the murderer. He is
believed to have rode off on the victim's
Honda Click motorbike. Rice was still
steaming on the stove.
Huay Luang police think that the murderer
cut up the body and intended to conceal it
but was disturbed by someone nearby
tending their fields. So he fled on the
victim's motorcycle.
He had attacked the victim from behind so
violently that his brains were splattered over
the ground.
Various witnesses told stories of disputes
between the victim and his wife and other
members of his wife's family over the
ownership of the land. The disputes centered
around alleged favoritism shown to the
victim and his wife over other members of
the wife's extended family.
The victim's younger brother said that Panya
had told him of a previous attack by
relatives that he had not reported to police.
Police are studying DNA evidence and CCTV
footage in the area to determine the identity
of the murderer. They are convinced that it is
a close relative they are after.
