In a horrifying discovery that has sent shockwaves through the community of Ban Sang Khui in Phang Khon district, Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand, a gruesome double homicide was uncovered in the early hours of Tuesday, according to The Thai Examiner.
The crime, both meticulously planned and brutally executed, involved the use of submerged steel coffins, revealing a sinister act of evil that has left the town bewildered.
The Grisly Unveiling
Worried locals, prompted by an agitated 35-year-old man named Mr. Warut, alerted the police to a disturbing scene near a pond. Upon arrival, officers were met with an abnormal and frenzied Warut. Submerged in the pond were two steel boxes sealed with iron chains, which, upon retrieval, unveiled the nightmarish reality – the lifeless bodies of an elderly man, Mr. Prayat, and a young woman, Ms. Phiangpen, each confined to their own coffin.
The unfolding tragedy came to light when residents reported the disappearance of two large steel boxes beside the pond. Swift police response led to the grim discovery, but the macabre details of the crime raised disturbing questions.
Mr. Warut, the 35-year-old son of the victims, was taken into custody for the alleged murder of his father and younger sister. The family, previously known to be affluent and leading a seemingly normal life in a three-story dormitory, now stands at the center of a heinous crime that defies comprehension.
A Diabolical Plan Unveiled
Further investigations revealed a chilling plan orchestrated by Mr. Warut. According to Thaiger, he cited arguments with his father and younger sister over their inheritance as a motive, and he had ordered the construction of two large steel boxes from a local welding shop on November 25, 2023, paying ฿12,000 for their creation. Under the guise of fishing gear or content creation for YouTube, the boxes were crafted and delivered to a community hall in Sawang Daen Din District.
The revelation of this diabolical plot has left the shop owner, who crafted the steel boxes, in shock. Describing Mr. Warut as polite and well-educated, the shop owner expressed disbelief that his work had been used in such a horrifying manner.
The Motive and Unanswered Questions
The motive behind this gruesome act remains unclear. Mr. Warut confessed to ordering the steel boxes out of anger, following an argument and having his line blocked. The police are delving into the family’s history, searching for signs of discord or violent tendencies. Mr. Warut, reportedly displaying psychiatric symptoms, had received treatment at Somdet Phra Yupparat Sawang Daen Din Hospital.
The family dynamics had become strained, particularly after an argument between Mr. Warut and his father following the death of their mother in October 2023. As the investigation continues, the town is left grappling with the horror that unfolded within what appeared to be an ordinary family.
Community in Shock and Investigators on a Quest
The local community, stunned by the revelation, insists that the family had been leading a normal life. Relatives of the accused and the deceased are bewildered, and investigators are working to understand the extent of Mr. Warut’s psychiatric condition. Meanwhile, unanswered questions linger around this macabre double homicide, leaving a community in mourning and investigators seeking the elusive motive behind this unfathomable act of evil.
