Drug addict beheads his blind mother and a neighbour
A man high on an inhaled solvent has been arrested for stabbing
and beheading his blind mother and a male neighbour in Si Wilai
district, Bangkok.
According
to Police Captain Seksan Nahom, a deputy investigation chief at Si
Wilai police station, the gruesome murders occurred at Nong Chan village
of this
northeastern province.
Police received a report of the crime about 2.30pm on Monday.
On arrival at the scene they found the headless body of a man,
identified later as Samruay Yodsaeng, 59, lying beside a bamboo tree
with a deep stab wound in the back.
The alleged killer, Khet Pimthaphor, 42, had locked himself inside
his one-storey house with his mother Suk Pimthaphor, 72, who was crying
for help, Thai media reported.
Pol Col Winai Mahapolsirikhun ordered officers to surround the
house to find ways to help the elderly woman being held hostage by her
son, who was reportedly addicted to glue.
Negotiations for the woman's release and her son's surrender were
not successful. When the elderly woman's crying and pleading suddenly
fell silent police stormed the house.
They
stopped dead and then pulled back when confronted with the
sight of Mr Khet holding his mother's severed head at the door to the
bathroom.
When police re-enetered the house they found Mr Khet had locked himself
in the bsedroom. They forced open the door and arrested him. Police
said the man was delirious and confused.
The headless body of his mother was found in the room with him. She had been stabbed several times in the chest.
The heads of the two victims were found together in a bowl in the bathroom. The floor of the house was stained with blood.
Mr
Khet was taken to a hospital for treatment of a knife wound to
his left foot. It was believed he injured himself during his frenzied
attack on his mother. Police found three large knives, each about 60cm
long, in the house. He was initially charged with murder and held in
custody.
