Isan serial killer arrested after two murders and knife attack on woman

Police have arrested a man they say is responsible for two horrific murders in Udon and Nong Bualamphu.

He was apprehended on Saturday after a third attack this time on a woman in the Naklang area of Nong Bualamphu where he stabbed the neck of a 53 year old called Wow Donprap with a knife from behind in an attempt to steal her motorcycle. She is recovering.

Police said that 20 year old Sathaporn Seechiangsa from Bung Karn province admitted to the murder of two people and the attack on the woman after an intense three hour interrogation. They said he appears drugged and largely incoherent.

He has been taken back to Udon where he had attacked Panya Thongsri, 50, in a sugar cane plantation on Thursday. Panya was found by a neighbor – his head and torso were in a fertilizer sack and his arms and legs had been cut off and stuffed in a bucket near the kitchen at his shack in the fields.

The killer then stole the victim’s motorcycle and moved on to Nong Bualamphu on Friday where he attacked Samran Srimungkhun, 61, on a village road with a knife. The victim was a man with mental deficiencies who had worked in a nearby temple for ten years.

Police said that further details would be released Sunday with a reenactment likely to be held.
