Thread: Woman Attacked by Thief she Recognised, Leading to Arrest

CHIANG MAI - On October 8, a woman called police when she regained consciousness after a thief broke into her home and attacked her with a log, causing her to black out, only later waking to find her belongings stolen.

Ms Soi Inta told police she was hit over the head with a two inch thick, one metre long log by a thief who entered her home.

She also told police she recognised the thief as her old co-worker, 31-year-old Somsai Lungti from Chiang Dao.

On October 12, police successfully traced and arrested Somsai who had sought refuge in a construction site in San Sai.

The police searched his residence and seized some stolen items including two gold necklaces and a gold bracelet.

Somsai admitted to attacking and robbing Soi, and told police he had already spent the money he stole – 2000 baht – while escaping the scene.

He now awaits prosecution.

There are a thousand years of congenital imbecility to be seen in that gormless expression as he points.

Wish her speedy recovery. And Somsai will get it prison.

Indeed. The log appears to possess more intelligence. Perhaps it wielded him?

What about the meatheads to his right - they don't look too sharp either.
