Boo Radley Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Got the following details from Thairath of what appears to be another grisly farang murder. Maybe someone knows him? Unidentified body of a farang found tied to a lump of concrete submerged in an irrigation canal The body of a male farang was found in Tambon Nikhom Thung Pho Thale in Thailand's Northern province of Kamphaeng Phet on the 22nd of April. Time of death was thought to be not more than 3 days prior. The body was only found due to the water level dropping in the canal revealing the corpse, the canal being in a desolate area in a rice paddy with no nearby buildings. He had a shaved/bald head, was naked except for striped black boxer shorts and his hands were tied to his neck with nylon cord. There was a tattoo of a butterfly perched on a flower on the left of his chest with the word 'Love' below in English letters. Knife wounds to the left temple and the left nape of the neck were present and the rest of the head was covered in bruises and marks consistent with being hit by a hard object. The body was taken to Kamphaeng Phet Hospital for an autopsy. Police are treating it as murder and are appealing for anyone with a missing farang relative or friend to go to the hospital to see the body. http://www.thairath.co.th/content/region/166104 (23/04/11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Said the police chief, "Worst case of suicide I ever saw." (Mississippi "humour" from the bad old days. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was looking for an estimate of age, but don't see one. No height either. But they tell you the rock weighed about 20 kilos. Gee, great reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Murder??? Not suicide then? Suicide! Didn't you read his hands were tied around his neck? He held the 20 kilo rock and jumped in the canal. Had to be a suicide, no other explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaronTT Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Kamphaeng Phet has became famous for 2 events last week. The assassination of a Police Chief and now this. The video. Not for the feint of heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Interesting rope tying. I guess somebody hated him enough that they did a good job of tying him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
