Mentors Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Bangkok - A Thai labourer allegedly killed a Cambodian co-worker with an axe early Friday after a heated and inebriated argument over the two countries' deteriorating diplomatic relations, police said. Thai national Sinchai Namnon, 44, was the chief suspect in the slaying of Cambodian national Dieng, 40, who died shortly after midnight from a gash in the head and a nearly severed arm. Both injuries were inflicted with an axe. The two men were employees at the Srimaharacha rubber processing company in Sri Racha, Chonburi province, 60 kilometres south-east of Bangkok. 'They were drinking together and got in an argument about the Thai engineer who was arrested on spying charges in Cambodia last week,' Police Lieutenant Colonel Praphan Wangkanom said. Sinchai had fled the scene by the time police arrived. 'We are still investigating whether there were others involved in the attack,' Praphan told the German Press Agency dpa. http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/asiapacific/news/article_1514433.php/Thai-factory-worker-kills-Cambodian-colleague-with-an-axe#ixzz0XNbawVMj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
