Man admits cutting up girlfriend

Suspect Pipat Kanthima, 41, was nabbed at a local monastery for the murder of Suree Onsanit, 46. Six partly burnt and decomposed parts of her body were found on a burnt mattress along with two knives on Sunday. Police also retrieved Pipat’s bloodstained clothes from the monastery. 

Pipat claimed he dismembered Suree – as he had watched some films about cutting up bodies – and initially wanted to throw the parts into a river to conceal the crime.
