BLOOD MONEY Hitmen buried bodies of Brit construction millionaire, 64, and his Thai wife, 61, ‘in a six foot deep grave they dug with victim’s OWN digger’

Brit Alan Hogg, 64, was blasted with a shotgun while his wife Nott, 61, was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in the garage of their mansion in northern Thailand

THE bodies of Brit millionaire Alan Hogg and his Thai wife Nott were found in a hole reportedly dug by Alan's killers with his OWN digger he used to build his home.
Businessman Alan, 64, was allegedly blasted with a shotgun near his swimming pool while wife Nott, 61, was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in the garage of their mansion in Phrae, northern Thailand.

Cops say the three hitmen today confessed to killing the couple and then burying them behind a duck pond.
The men, who have not been named, told police that they received a total of £1,175 (50,000 baht) from Alan's brother-in-law Warut Satchakit, 63, to carry out the murder amidst a family feud over money.
Warut was initially arrested after being seen on CCTV stealing the couple's brand new white Ford Ranger pick-up truck. It was recovered yesterday 300 miles away in Ayutthaya near Bangkok having been sold.
Warut - who had fallen out with his sister over money - denied any involvement in the murder and was released on bail but has since been re-arrested today.

Officers arrived at the home today at 10:30am local time and used an excavator to dig an area next to the duck pond in the 32-acre grounds of Alan's gated three-storey home, which also includes a swimming pool, summerhouse, cattle farm and geese.
In the video footage, one officer is seen waving incense over the area to mask the smell, believed to be coming from the decomposing bodies. Villagers who had gathered at the scene were also covering their noses.
Major General Sanpat Praputsra said: ''Warut Satchakit has been arrested again for the theft of the car and being involved with murder.
"Three suspects were traced from forensic checks on the car. They have confessed to the murder of Mr Alan and his wife Nott. They used a shotgun to kill Alan and said they buried him near the ducks.#

The villains used a hammer to murder his wife in the garage. Three people were involved in the murders with the instructions that it was their duty to kill the targets. They said that the victims were then buried in the garden."
Earlier the Maj Gen had acknowledged there was ill feeling among family members, The Times reported.
He said: "The issue is likely to be a long-standing conflict within the family. We cannot find any other situations that are likely to have caused this.
"The brother-in-law had problems with money and there were family issues. Officers are working on the investigation day and night

We are certain that the disappearance comes from a family feud with Thai relatives."
Police arrested the three men from Wang Chin district, Phrae, this morning after they discovered Alan's pick-up truck yesterday and returned it for forensic examinations.
Investigators found that the truck had been sold to nearby hill tribe people for £4,700 (200,000 baht) who then sold it to a man from Lao for £9,400 (420,000 baht) in Sukhothai last Friday.
The Laos man then drove it to Ayutthaya on a business trip, until he learnt from media reports that police were looking for the vehicle and he contacted authorities.

Police made the arrests overnight after stating that the investigation was 'moving well'
The man turned the truck over to police in Ayutthaya on Sunday. He and the two sellers were then taken to Phra That Chor Hae police station to be interrogated.
Officers first began searching the grounds yesterday with sniffer dogs. They found a gardening hoe and a freshly dug hole. An excavator was later called in.
The couple were initially reported missing last Thursday when friends had unsuccessfully tried to contact them on messaging app Line.
Blood stains - with signs someone had tried to wipe them away - were found in the swimming pool changing rooms. A phone had been left charging in the living room.
The couple’s daughter Robyn Hogg, 31, a production assistant, flew to Thailand from the UK after being alerted to her parents’ disappearance

Alan was listed at Companies House as an active director of Clayfull Ltd, which operates a dry cleaning firm called PLS Laundy in Bonnyrigg, Edinburgh. He was also a former director of Sherwood Edinburgh Limited.
Alan worked as an engineer and his occupation is listed as Offshore Construction Manager.
The couple travelled regularly to Australia, where Alan previously worked in offshore construction, for lengthy holidays.
Neighbours described his wife as ''the most beautiful woman in the town'' and said that Alan was ''very friendly'' and often helped them. They told local media that he was a ''millionaire''.

Cant find a source in English or one thats verified but rumour has it one of the younger brothers from the same family vanished 20 years ago and they found the bones buried in the ground some time after but not who was responsible ....his car also went missing and was never recovered.
