Gangland style
hit in Pattaya
Police received a report from Ms. Thongluan Chaisorn that when she was
fishing, she smelled something rotten. She followed her nose and found the
body of a foreign male. It was hidden in some grass next to a water tank.
The corpse’s hands were tied behind its back. Ms. Thongluan immediately
informed Banglamung police, who arrived at the scene along with the Sawang
Boriboon Foundation.
Police found the body lying face down in the grass. The hands were tied with
yellow electrician’s tape. Upon preliminary inspection, police found that
the victim had been shot in the mouth. The casings of two 11mm bullets were
found near the body. Searching the victim’s pockets officers found 500 baht
and 10 dollars in US currency. Police also found a notebook with Chinese
writing in it. It was kept for translation and as evidence.
The body has been sent to police forensics for an autopsy. From preliminary
examinations, police physicians assumed that the man had been dead for no
less than 8 days. There were also no less than two people who carried out
the murder. The coroner’s office said that it is probably the body of a
westerner as it is large and has a receding hairline.
Police also speculate that the reason for the murder may have been a
disagreement about business matters. Police say that the murderers were
probably trying to get information out of the victim. When he refused to
tell, they bound his hands and shot him.
What they didn’t talk about was the Chinese notebook, which sounds like the
kind used for illegal transfers of money through Hong Kong.
