Khon Kaen court also ordered the suspects to pay a compensation of 1,070,000 baht at 7.5% interest rate to the victim’s family.
The 3 key suspects were charged with chopping up the body of Warisara at a toilet in a suburban resort after having enticed her to come into their rented Honda CRV and covering her head with a plastic bag and beating her to death.
The victim’s mutilated body was buried in a shallow grave in Khao Suan Kwang district.
The 3 key suspects had immediately escaped to Myanmar but later returned to Thailand.
Police said Preeyanuch has asked Warisara to join them in the car intending to teach her a lesson because the victim had informed police about her husband which led to him being arrested on a drug charge.
