Naew Na reported that a German man called Richard has been charged with concealing, moving and damaging a corpse as well as being on overstay in Thailand. 

 

The case relates to the discovery of Margund, 77, a German woman who was found in a wooden crate dumped in the Bang Prong canal behind the Saen Suk municipal offices in Chonburi in January. 

 

At a press conference headed by immigration chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang along with Saen Suk police more details were given in the case. 

 

Naew Na reported that Margund had travelled to Thailand with Richard in June of 2017.

Richard lived in a rented house in Saen Suk district with his Thai wife Supranee and the elderly lady. 

 

They lived off tens of thousands of baht transferred from Germany, some of which was the old lady's pension, said the Thai wife. 

 

In January she said that the old lady fell down in the bathroom. They put her to bed but she subsequently died.

 

She said that Richard wrapped her in a cloth, put her in a wooden crate and took her in a motorcycle with sidecar attachment to the canal where he dumped her. 

 

Her body was soon found. 

 

Requests were made over the missing old lady and it was discovered that Ricard was wanted on 17 counts of credit card fraud amounting to 6,000 Euros in Germany. 

 

This finally led to the arrest of the German man and the charges related to the concealment and damage to a corpse and that of overstay in Thailand.  

 

Naew Na called the suspect,who has issued denials, "Most Cruel" in their headline.

They should condemn the Thai woman too, she was in on it benefited too.  Two of them are lowlives living off someone and then discarding her like trash. 

 

Good that they got the guy but i feel the Thai woman is not innocent either.. she could have protested / informed the cops.

When it comes to money, I would not trust even a farang in Thailand as they are worse sometimes then the Thais.

Your comment suggests that this Thai woman has an IQ of around 50.

Not very nice either.

I knew a Thai woman who was drawing her dead husbands pension using the ATM it stopped when one night she went to the machine <deleted> and it took the card she even had the nerve to go in the bank the following day asking for the card back they wouldn't give it her back as it was in her dead husbands name, that was her bankrupt.

She didn't hide it everybody knew what she was doing she thought it was great

Obviously he did not want to report the death: 

1- Her pension will be stopped after   death report. 

2- Police will become concern about his identity and his status.

I've never in my long life seen so many posters justifying ones position.

Happens all the time.

The one day, expedited funeral is normally a dead give away
