Police seek arrest warrant for new husband of murdered woman
Samut Prakan police are launching a manhunt for the 52-year-old new husband of a 60-year-old woman who was killed and buried outside her house in Muang district.
The body of Surak Oomrak was found on Tuesday buried near her house on Soi Yusook 13, off of Srinakharin Road in Tambon Bang Muang.
Her grandson, who was referred to only as “Jae”, found the body after his father, a Buddhist monk, told him to visit his grandmother.
The monk had received calls from local residents saying that Surak’s new husband, Wichit Phanphu, 52, often beat her and had recently poured hot water on her.
When the grandson arrived he did not find anybody at the house but followed the smell to find the body. Surak had suffered a broken neck and fractured skull.
The grandson told police that Wichi often beat the woman who suffered from the ALS symptoms.
Pol Colonel Torpong Tantrawanit, commander of the Muang Samut Prakan Police Station, said police were seeking an arrest warrant for Wichit.
