Roi Et: Ungrateful son strangles father to death in full view of ordination parade

A son high after sniffing glue got his father in a headlock on Sunday causing the old man to pass out.

But 63 year old house owner Thongsuk died in hospital after the incident in Ban Hua Na Kham in Klang sub-district of Roi Et.

The son Sunthorn, 27, raced off into the forest but was rounded up by police within an hour.

Thongsuk had just came home from tilling the fields when he confronted his son. As an ordination parade was passing he told him to go and sleep off his glue induced high, said witnesses.

Sanook called the murderer “luuk Thoraphee” after an ungrateful buffalo from a story in the Thai epic The Ramakien.
