Teenager kills cousin, buries him and turns himself in after feeling guilty

A teenager killed his 35 year old cousin and buried him in a field after a dispute before turning himself into the police.

Yesterday at noon, officers from Laem Chabang Police Station in Chon Buri and the Sawang Prateep Sri Racha rescue unit arrived at a field beside a corn plantation to discover the buried body near Nong Pang Phuay-Nong Khlacha Road, Moo 10, Bueng subdistrict, Sri Racha district, Chon Buri province.

The investigation began after the previous night when the 18 year old Om-rup-tepe came to the Laem Chabang Police Station and surrendered himself. The teenager confessed that he had killed his cousin, Yong, 35 years old, after an alcohol-fuelled dispute at a workers’ camp opposite the crime scene, Sanook reported.

The teenager admitted that following a verbal altercation, they began fighting and he ultimately stabbed his cousin to death. He then dragged the body across the road to the field and buried it, covering the grave with cornstalks to conceal it. After returning home, the teenager slept until he was overcome with guilt and chose to turn himself in at Laem Chabang Police Station.

This morning, the police contacted the victim’s relatives and escorted them to the burial site, where they discovered the deceased as described. However, since the crime scene falls within the jurisdiction of Nong Kham Police Station, the teenager was handed over for further investigation and legal proceedings in accordance with the law.

This tragic incident highlights the potential dangers of excessive alcohol consumption, which can lead to emotionally-charged disputes resulting in serious harm or even death. It serves as a reminder for individuals to act responsibly and be mindful of their actions when consuming alcohol.
