Murder for 3000 baht

It is sad to read how someone is killed for not paying back 3000 Baht. Jirayu, 23, had borrowed money from his former boss, a police volunteer, and still hadn't paid it back.

After many attempts to get the money back, Somkiat tried another way. He lured Jirayu to a warehouse to have a drink and talk together. When he arrived at the warehouse, a few other people were waiting there. The conversation escalated and took a violent turn. Jirayu was knocked unconscious.

Along with three others, also police volunteers, the unconscious body was placed in a truck and driven to a nearby pond in Nongprue. There Weerawong knocked the head off the body with a kick, which was later found in another place and was ultimately the definitive cause of death.

Later when the police recovered some property at the crime scene including a Facebook account that led to Somkiat. Somkiat claimed that one of the accomplices committed the murder. The other perpetrators were also taken into custody. The four have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Jirayu's family said the victim had been missing for about a week.
