rooster59 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Three men sentenced to death for murdering British expat and wife in northern Thailand Image: Thai Rath Three men have been sentenced to death for murdering a British expat and his Thai wife in northern Thailand. Engineer Alan Hogg, 64 and his wife Nott Suddaen, 61, were found buried close to their home in Phrae last September. On Friday, Phrae Provincial Court sentenced Warut Rattanasatchakit, 63, Phia Khamsai, 63, and Kittipong Kamwan, 24 to death for premeditated murder. A fourth man, Seema Udpamoon, 60, who was a neighbour to the couple, was jailed for 25 years with his initial 50 year sentenced halved for co-operating with the investigation. The court heard how Nott’s brother Warut Rattanasatchakit planned the murders so he could gain control of the couple’s assets, which included a large property in Phrae’s Muang District. Police said there had been an ongoing conflict between Warut and Mr Hogg for several years. Warut sought the help of Seema telling him of his plan to kill his sister and her British husband. While Seema refused to be involved in the actual murder, it was him who reccomnded Phia and Kittipong to Warut. Kittipong would be the one who shot Mr Hogg using a shotgun to kill him outside his home, while Warut bludgeoned his sister to death with a wrench. The men then buried the couple in land close to their home. At sentencing the court also ordered the men to the couple’s daughter 644,255 baht compensation. Thairath reported that the relatives of the deceased were said to be satisfied with the outcome of the court ruling.

z42 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Can't fault the justice system on this one. Swift, harsh justice for all concerned in this dreadful crime. Hopefully it'll deter other cash hungry relatives in Thailand from trying any such acts to make a fast buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This time the death penalty should be delivered in full, no mercy, no commuting to life sentence, if there was ever a death sentence so richly deserved, this is the one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am NOT blaming the victims here or making any remarks about the lady's family. However, farangs should be careful to understand the Thai families they marry into. There's a reason the Thai Chinese folks don't often marry into these types of poor, Thai families. Best is marry into a family that doesn't need your money. Though that does severely limit the available women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point is well received. ???? I care only about my fellow decent Farang, so I am only stating what would be logical in any country which is to pay attention to trashy, low education local families. Doing so will likely have a positive income on avoiding murder here. Too many of these stories over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Greed and I would also add envy as the main motives, Do they not think what will happen if it all goes wrong when planning these murders? let's see we get rich on the other hand we get life in jail or the death penalty, I bet they never even considered the consequence of getting caught.

Best life insurance policy you will ever have living in Thailand. Unless of course you are dirt poor with zero prospects of every making anything of yourself and you prospective wife is rich. Actually that could get you killed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
