Police Arrest 3 for Murder

Three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of a man found dead in a paddy field in Bua Yai district on Monday morning, according to police.

Suthep Channoy and Thirapat Setpakdi were identified as two of the suspects by police. The other was a 15-year-old boy. The first two turned themselves in to Bua Yai police on Monday night, and the third on Tuesday morning.

During questioning by police, the three allegedly admitted to killing Wirat Songnok, 39, of Ban Nong Prue Pattana in Ban Luam district’s tambon Khok Krabueang. Three days after going missing, he was discovered partially buried in a paddy field, his legs exposed.

They claimed that they and Wirat had been drinking together on the night of December 9 at a hut in the middle of a field near Ban Nong Yao in tambon Nong Bua Sa-ard, Bua Yai district.

They inquired as to what Wirat had done with the 1,700 baht they had given him earlier to purchase methamphetamine pills. Wirat stated that he spent 400 baht on meth pills and the rest on other things.

They became enraged and beat Wirat with wooden sticks until he collapsed. Following that, one of them stabbed Wirat to death with a knife, leaving him with eight wounds. They fled, burying Wirat in a paddy field about 100 meters from the hut.

The three have been charged with murder and concealing the body in order to conceal the crime.
