Thai men related to US businessmen murder

CHIANG MAI Police Saturday arrested the secretary of an American businessman for the contract killing of his boss. The secretary claimed he was paid by the man's wife in the United States.

Police are seeking the extradition of the wife.

Provincial Police Region 5 commander Lt-General Kittithat Ruenthip said police believed they had sufficient evidence to prosecute both the secretary and the gunman. They were arrested Saturday morning.

Sujin Chusaengroj, 28, allegedly hired gunman Suparp Nokham, 48, to kill coffee exporter John Allan Chapelle at his Hang Dong home on September 28 last year.

Police said Sujin told them he got into an argument with Chapelle over Sujin's suspected relationship with Chapelle's girlfriend and several thousand baht in back pay.

Sujin wanted to resign but Chapelle refused.

Police said Sujin telephoned Chapelle's wife in the US, Dara Panany. The man told police the wife did not want Chapelle to return to the US because she wanted to gain control of his property there.

An Italian in Dhaan Khun Todt had a farm. His Thai wife put rat poison in his food. While he was in the hospital (they were pumping his stomach empty) his wife sold all his pigs, tractor, pickup,....even furniture, tv,...
When he came back home, not only his stomach was empty, but also his farm and his house.
BUT,... he was still alive....

Unfortunately, the removal and sale of assets was probably legal unless there was a corporation.

Gives creedence to the advise that one needs to put everything that they can in their own name. At least, he would have still had his pickup.

The pressing question is: Were charges ever filed against his wife?

If he didn't pursue that avenue as well as other avenues that were available to him - then he really isn't deserving of a hell of a lot of sympathy - at least not from me. As they say here - Mai pen rai.

He went to court.
His pickup stayed at the compound until the judge made a decision.
He got his pickup and tractor back (although they were on the name of his wife).
His wife got condemned (don't know for what because there was no proof that she tried to poison him with rat poison). But she never did time, out on bail. This was 6-7 years ago.

Then, I would have to say, that justice was done - Thai style.

I would presume that the charges were dropped against her and the bond was forfeited, thus everyone was happy.

I'd say ,he would have been happier without the rat poison experience!Thai style justice still leaves victims without compensation adequate to their pain,but the bureaucracies don't have to work overtime :lol:

I want to add that I think that this woman now has a feeling of impunity.
She didn't get punished so I wonder if she will hesitate to do it again
