TRAT – Police are hunting for a 32-year-old drug-crazed man after he brutally attacked a 61-year-old man in broad daylight before fleeing the scene with the victim’s body. The shocking event unfolded at 5:30 PM in the Khao Saming district. Authorities received an urgent call about a severe physical altercation in Soi Nakprasit, Thung Nonsi sub-district.
Key Takeaways
- A 32-year-old suspect violently beat a 61-year-old man and dragged his helpless body away on a sidecar motorcycle.
- Police discovered a pool of blood and two firearms at the suspect’s property, but both men remain missing.
- Authorities suspect drug-induced hallucinations caused the unprovoked attack, and a massive police manhunt is currently underway.
When police and local rescue workers rushed to the scene, they found no trace of the men. However, local security cameras captured the entire terrifying encounter clearly from start to finish. The security footage showed the victim, Mr. Boon-yoo, stepping out for an evening walk.
Suddenly, the suspect, identified only as Mr. Mos, pulled up on his Honda PCX motorcycle. He aggressively approached the older man, and a brief argument quickly escalated into a violent fistfight. Mr. Boon-yoo tried to defend himself with a wooden stick from a nearby pile.
Sadly, he could not match the younger man’s strength during the intense struggle. Mos snatched the wood and struck the 61-year-old repeatedly in the head, knocking him to the ground. Horrified neighbors tried to intervene and stop the fight, but their brave efforts were completely unsuccessful.
A Desperate Search for the Missing Victim
The horrific violence did not stop there. Mos grabbed a broom handle, hit the victim again, and drove away from the bloody scene. Moments later, he returned with a bamboo stick and continued the savage beating until Mr. Boon-yoo lay motionless.
Mos then drove back to his own property to get a blue sidecar motorcycle. He returned to the crime scene, loaded the victim’s limp body onto the sidecar, and drove off. By the time law enforcement arrived, both men had completely vanished without a trace.
Police quickly tracked the suspect’s escape route to his personal durian orchard, about 750 meters away. At the back of the property, investigators discovered a truly grim and disturbing scene. They found a large pool of blood resting next to two abandoned firearms.
The dangerous weapons included a handgun and a shotgun, which police immediately secured as crucial evidence. However, there was absolutely no sign of the injured victim or the violent suspect. Investigators now fear that Mos may have thrown the victim into a nearby pond.
Local rescue teams immediately called in specialized scuba divers to search the murky water. As of late Tuesday night, the intense underwater search for Mr. Boon-yoo was still ongoing. According to Thairath News, the local community remains deeply anxious about the missing man’s fate.
A Terrified Community
Local reporters tried to interview witnesses, but villagers were too terrified to speak on camera. They deeply feared that the violent suspect might return to brutally hurt them next. This intense fear has made gathering useful information from the local community very difficult for journalists.
Meanwhile, police records reveal that Mos has a long history of illegal drug use. He has been arrested multiple times for serious drug-related offenses in the past. Investigators strongly suspect that he was suffering from a dangerous drug-induced hallucination during this brutal attack.
Police officers and local officials have launched a massive, highly coordinated manhunt across the region. They are intensely searching multiple areas, including Thung Nonsi, Huai Raeng, and Wang Takhian. Authorities recently found a crashed sidecar motorcycle at a local reservoir, but the suspect remains safely hidden.
