Expressway killer reveals 3 month plan to murder girlfriend in remorseless confession
In a remorseless confession, the Thai man who killed his lover and buried her body parts in plastic bags underneath an expressway in Bangkok told police how he meticulously planned his girlfriend’s murder for three months.
In his confession, the murderer said he and 30 year old Pin were together for two years and he was very much in love with her. However, 35 year old Chanwit started to realise that Pin was distancing herself from him.
Not wanting Pin to go off with anyone else, jealous Chanwit began planning her murder three months ago. He said he got the idea to chop her up and bury her from a film.
Chanwit studied the film and learned that he would need a sharp axe to dismember Pin’s body by chopping it up at the joints.
The remorseless killer found the perfect burial place for Pin underneath an expressway in the Lat Phrao area of Bangkok. He said the spot was hidden by some trees under a bridge in a blind corner with no lights and no surveillance cameras.
In the month leading up to the murder, Chanwit visited the burial site several times to preemptively dig Pin’s grave with a pick axe.
