Police arrested a local man yesterday for the brutal rape and murder of a 75 year old Thai woman in the Isaan province of Sa Kaeo.
The victim’s grandson, 27 year old Sittichai, discovered the dead body of his grandmother, 75 year old Boonnam Cherngkhao, in a sugar cane field near an abandoned car showroom in the Sa Kaeo province on January 6 and reported the death to Mueang Sakaeo Police Station.
Sittichai told police that Boonnam earned her living by collecting and selling recycled waste. She left home at 9am to collect plastic bottles from a police booth on Highway number 33 and did not return home.
Sittichai decided to look for her at about 2pm by walking along the road until he reached the abandoned car showroom. He spotted drops of blood and drag marks leading into the sugar cane field and followed them to find his grandmother’s lifeless body.
