Belgian pensioner viciously murdered in Rayong - Thai cook in custody

 

Caption: The case has hidden clues

 

A 67 year old Belgian man has been found murdered in bed in Nern Phra sub-district of Muang district, Rayong.

 

Named only as "Gay" he was found face down on the bed in his bedroom on Sunday. When turned over forensics found his left eye had been attacked and was almost detached from the socket. 

 

There was severe bruising in the area around the left eye and there was blood coming from the victim's mouth.

 

There was blood everywhere on the bed and floor. 

 

Suspicion has fallen on a former monk who befriended the deceased's wife on Facebook and who she invited to become a cook in their house to look after her husband. 

 

Udomchoke, 51, denies the attack but has been charged with assault causing death. 

 

Police forensic teams found a grisly scene at the house after they were called by the son-in-law called Chaiwat, 27.

 

The victim was said to be dead at 7 am but the cops were only contacted at 3 pm in the afternoon, reported Sanook. 

 

The wife of the victim Yuwadee, 57, told investigators that she met Udomchoke on Facebook while he was a monk at a temple in Chacherngsao. 

 

When he left the monkhood she invited him to become a cook at their house and look after her husband who was in and out of hospital with health problems.

 

She claimed that on Sunday she heard noises of an argument coming from the bedroom of her husband but didn't dare go in. Only when her daughter and son-in-law returned home was the body of her husband found dead. By that time it was the afternoon.

 

Police are suspicious of the wife's evidence. At the time of the murder there were three people in the house - Yuwadeee and her mother and Udomchoke, the cook. Police want to know why it was eight hours until the alarm was raised.

 

Neighbors told Sanook that the family lived in harmony - until the cook arrived to stay with them.

 

Udomchoke has been charged but denies involvement. 

 

Pol Col Banphot Koot-Ua said that blood and fingerprint evidence at the scene was sufficient to proceed with the case. 

 

Investigations continue.

"Invited him to be a cook at their house" yeah right, if the police will not rule it to be a suicide, look at the wife and the "cook"...

I suspect she knew exactly what was happening and that is why she did not go in the room.

why could she not cook and look after the husband herself,and met the "cook" on Facebook,

maybe she was after more than a cook. RIP Belgium guy.

Monk oops they did it again

It sounds like a “live in” love triangle to me. 

Was the wife overweight? She sure does tell some good porkies. 

[Puchaiyank]

It appears the wife and monk were cooking up something more sinister than a meal...????

Pity 'Sanook' can't use a bit of journalistic integrity and stop referring to the police as 'the cops'.

 

What's next - 'the pigs were only contacted at...' or 'the fuzz'.

 

Show a bit of class.

????

Perhaps they need to earn their respect first?

Which school of journalism teaches that?

[p414]

what is the evidence that he was previously a monk?

[baansgr]

Cook...maybe as "brother" is now widely known to be false. Separate bedrooms.

[tlandtday]

Interesting I had a friend whose wife befriended a monk and the monk had her under control and was instructing her to get money from him, etc.  And the family fully supported the husband but they were unable to break the grip the monk had on her.  Wound up breaking the marriage to the detriment of the young son.

Yet another wonderful Thai monk! - These temples are well stocked with unemployable criminals masquerading in their Saffron Mafia outfit, over and over again they keep appearing in the news with even more crazy stories every time. Anyone that thinks that these devils are going to pave your souls way to heaven is very sadly mistaken.

If the Thais were serious about this instead of cowering and turning a blind eye, they would have a bloody good purge and rid the temples of these beasts once and for all.

Many use amulets as a backup.

Obviously, the wife had to wait to make sure he was "fully" dead, you don't want to chance a recovery after going to all that trouble of getting a patsy.

That kind of injury suggests that the crime was not premeditated.

Really?
