NAKHON SAWAN: A woman and her friend have been arrested for allegedly plotting to have her Danish husband killed in a staged road crash so that they can seize his 10-million-baht insurance pay-out. The husband survived but is critically injured.

Ms Pratheep Larsen, 48, and Ms Jaemchan Khamkaew, 60, were arrested on warrants issued by the Nakhon Sawan provincial court for hiring a third party to murder Pia Larsen, 63, said Pol Maj Gen Atthasit Sudsa-nguan, deputy commissioner of Provincial Police Region 6, during a media briefing announcing the capture of the two women.

Ekkasit Wichacharn, 24, was allegedly hired by the two to runover Mr Larsen with his car. He was also arrested.

The crash happened on a local road in tambon Bueng Platu, Banphot Phisai district of Nakhon Sawan on April 21, said Pol Maj Gen Atthasit.

Local police found a Toyota with a Lampang licence plate plunged into a roadside paddy field with its front damaged at the scene. A badly damaged bicycle was found 10 metres away from the vehicle.

A police investigation found Mr Ekkasit rear ended the bicycle Mr Larsen was riding.

While the crash initially appeared to be an accident, police investigators detected several suspicious elements to this case after examining evidence and carrying out a re-enactment with the driver. Further inspection led authorities to believe the crash was deliberate.

After intense questioning, Mr Ekkasit admitted to having been hired by Ms Jaemchan to carry out the attempt on Mr Larsen’s life. The Danish man was seriously injured but survived the incident. He is being treated at Sri Sawan Hospital.

After the plot was exposed, investigators collected further evidence before questioning Ms Jaemchan.

Ms Pratheep was eventually implicated as the mastermind behind the scheme and was accused of hiring Ms Jaemchan, an older friend, for 500,000 baht to contract a killer for her husband so she could then claim his insurance pay-out.

The Danish man and Ms Pratheep previously resided in Denmark and have two children. Returning to Ms Pratheep’s home province of Nakhon Sawan, the couple purchased several land plots worth a combined 20 million baht before settling down in the province.

It was reported that they had begun to quarrel recently, and Ms Pratheep had asked for a divorce and for their assets to be divided.

After being refused, Ms Pratheep reached out to Ms Jaemchan, who had been accused of contract killing 10 years prior but had the charges dropped.

Ms Jaemchan promised her nephew, Mr Ekkasit, a new car if he successfully carried out the murder. Police said that Ms Jaemchan had since given her nephew 10,000 baht for car repairs.

Wow, brutal. I wonder how the police actually figured out that the accident was staged? Some extraordinary sleuthing.

Thai police have unique interrogation techniques.

^ Wife saw this on the news channel today. Apparently witnesses said car was travelling unusually fast for a local road, something like 100kph. If local road anything like ours then above 40kph is considered too fast.

Not that unusual for Thailand…

We often knock the Thai police but looks like the local cops have done a great job on this one. Hope She gets at least 20 years.

If that's the case the guy is extremely lucky he survived (assuming he does).

Poor Helge, bloody bad luck.

Anyone in the Nakhon Sawan area can PM him for visiting times, he would appreciate that. (Particularly if skilled in fixing pushbikes)

A mate of mine was drinking with his "BIL" (that was the last he could remember) and subsequently woke up in intensive care. Turns out someone saw him being dumped off the back of a pick up on a motorway. The rescue team were about to chuck his body in the back and he gurgled. He was in hospital with a fractured skull, with the faithful wife visiting him every day. When he got out, he was in a hotel and woke up with his wife punching his skull, screaming at him. His sister was in the room next door and it was all he could do to stop her throwing the Thai bint off the balcony.

Got divorced after that.

Hardly, they were simply investigating a scene that clearly bore none of the hallmarks of a genuine accident.

1. The perpetrator was not local, and had no plausible reason for being were he was at the time of the alleged accident.

2. The road was clear at the time of the impact, no other vehicle was involved and his vehicle was found to be without mechanical fault.

3. Several eye witnesses reported his excessive speed for which he could offer no plausible explanation.

4. There were no skid marks or signs of last minute braking commensurate with a genuine accident.

5. There were no factors present that may have supported a contention the driver of the vehicle was temporarily unsighted.

But I do understand why a rather unintelligent lay person, and an antipodean at that, might think uncovering the crime was a 'great job ' of sleuthing.

So driving fast from one place to another is suspicious Insp Sausages. Its a wonder the Police have any capacity left but to arrest drivers.

**Seekingasylum** · 30-04-2022, 11:22 AM

As I pointed out, it's a combination of factors, you knuckle dragging, oafish, blue collared grease monkey.

Some people have no staying power.

^^With your rasor sharp deductive skills the RTP could do worse than posting you where you are comfortable, behind a desk going over their backlog of unsolved crimes.

Sadly, they kinda get hung up on the "for richer" part....

Some people know when to exit as those are only words used in the heat of the moment during a wedding ceremony.

They need to be abolished as far as I am concerned.

'friend'
