Honey Trap murders and international manhunts when 33-year-old Mario petang
0:05
suddenly disappeared after a night out family and friends scrambled to find him it began with this surveillance footage
0:12
and ended with this terrifying figure and several secrets that nobody knew about meanwhile and almost 5,000 miles
0:20
away when 16-year-old Ben suddenly disappeared from his mother's home in Thailand investigators would find more
0:27
than one terrible tragedy but what his goal friend part of an evil plot or
0:32
simply another victim today we are going International by looking at two stories
0:37
that originate from Thailand stories that involve the United Kingdom Australia and
0:43
America good morning good afternoon or good evening folks and welcome or welcome back to Coffee House crime my
0:49
name is Adrien and today we're doing something a little bit different by looking at two stories in one video now
0:55
both of these stories are very recent and I can pretty much guarantee that you've not heard of either of them but
1:00
for those who want to know the Tim stamp for the first video is here and for the second one here by the way if you want
1:06
to see more dark stories and True Crime then please make sure you're subscribed thank you all right and now that said
1:11
please pull up a seat and grab yourself a coffee let's begin with the case of Mario Pat
Mario Phetmang
1:23
mang good day folks and welcome to Sydney now this place once again needs
1:28
no introduction with Sydney Harbor Bridge Bondi Beach and the world famous Sydney Opera house it is no wonder why
1:35
this place is recognized as one of the world's most iconic cities now personally I would love to hike through
1:42
the Blue Mountains which can be found west of the city and give me a few months and I'm sure I will too our first
1:48
case today takes us about 10 Mi west of Sydney's CBD to the suburbs of Sydney Olympic Park formerly known as home Bush
1:56
Bay Sydney Olympic Park was renamed for well you get it the Olympics which for
2:02
those of you who don't remember took place in Sydney at the turn of the new Millennia with so many sports facilities
2:08
it is no surprise to learn that the population is relatively small here due to the lack of housing available only
2:14
5,000 people live here and even fewer when you go back to 2018 when this case
2:19
occurred most of those found in Olympic Park are merely passing through it with the A3 and M4 serving as major arteries
2:27
to the city's western suburbs and was along the banks of the A3 also known as
2:33
homebush Bay Drive that one of those passing by came across a horrific Discovery at around 10:30 p.m. on June
2:41
the 5th 2018 a truck driver working for the Australian post encountered a
2:46
mechanical failure which required him to pull over after pulling into the emergency Lane of the A3 nearby
2:52
Centennial Park the driver noticed a foul smell lingering in the air and
2:57
after following his nose to the folage nearby he came across a terrible sight a
3:03
body was wrapped in what appeared to be a mattress protector but what really gave it away was a pair of feet poking
3:10
out from the plastic sheet and judging by the smell they had been there for quite a while police officers were
3:17
immediately called to the crime scene and the emergency Lane and surrounding Park were sectioned off for examination
3:24
however as with most cases identification would take some time police have revealed more details about
3:31
the Body Found dumped beside homebush Bay Drive we now know that it belongs to a man and was found wrapped in material
3:39
it was a broken down truck driver who made the discovery at about 10:30 last night it was in damp and dark Bushland
3:46
police were quickly on the scene and had to move the body immediately to the Glee
3:52
morg to try to preserve some of that evidence it's now undergoing an autopsy and it's hoped that will help detectives
3:59
identify the man who didn't have any belongings on him nor any ID until then
4:04
though police need the Public's help to fill in the gaps we strongly require the
4:09
assistance of the public to identify this individual and how he came to be on the
4:15
side of the road at homebush the body was found beside homebush Bay Drive one of Weston Sydney's busiest roads so
4:22
police want drivers to check their dash cams from last night and over the past few days Also if anyone has concern
4:29
concerns about a missing loved one they urged to contact Crim Stoppers back at
4:34
the crime scene officers did not have much to go off of with this road being so busy the chances of identifying his
4:41
killer was almost as realistic as finding a needle in a hay stack nevertheless new southwell's police
4:46
department urged all motorists who were driving through the area in recent days to please check their dash cams just in
4:52
case they'd inadvertently recorded something suspicious over the following days a postmortem examination revealed
4:58
that the victim had been severely assaulted with blunt force trauma labeled as the leading cause of death in
5:04
addition to this the autopsy report also noted that the man had been bound and gagged with a t-shirt before being
5:10
wrapped up in plastic while scouring the crime scene detectives would also find a leather boot near the body which by the
5:16
way would become a key piece of evidence later on in this story and although they didn't have much to go off initially
5:22
they were just about to find out who the victim was to fast forward a couple of days and our
5:29
victim was identified as a 33-year-old man named wakira petang affectionately
5:34
nicknamed as Mario by loved ones wakira was a permanent resident of Australia residing in the nearby suburb of
5:41
Hurstville born in the year 1985 he moved to Australia when he was 23 years old in the early days he lived with his
5:48
aunt until he was able to establish himself but before moving to Australia he obtained a bachelor's degree while he
5:55
lived with his mother viap in Thailand after working at a spa he eventually moved on to work at a Starbucks as a
6:02
manager during the daytime and occasionally at a Thai restaurant in the evenings by the time that this story
6:08
takes place Mario had fully established himself in Australia Not only was he married to his wife named rira but he
6:15
also had countless friends through the many jobs and hobbies around Sydney at the time of his death he had lived in
6:21
Australia for just over 10 years and was well acquainted with the city's vibrant lifestyle so when those who knew him
6:28
found out about his death every single one of them was shocked none of his friends or loved ones believed that he
6:35
had any enemies whatsoever or even knew anyone capable of doing such a Savage
6:40
thing so surely his murder was made by an absolute stranger right well it turns
6:47
out that Mario was actually a very mysterious man in fact he had more than
6:52
one big secret to him and unfortunately for him all of this would be revealed shortly after his death so let let's
6:59
talk about the first secret that has nothing to do with his death but Mario was actually bisexual you see despite
7:06
having a wife and supposedly being happily married he also had a boyfriend in the city one that his wife had no
7:12
idea about according to multiple sources his boyfriend was actually just down the road and the two of them would routinely
7:19
meet up whenever he had free time but the other secret of his was far more dangerous you see Mario considered
7:25
himself to be somewhat of a smalltime drug dealer and he would routin keenly sell methamphetamine on the streets to
7:31
help fund his lifestyle now his wife and his family had no idea about any of these two big secrets and so you can
7:38
likely imagine the shock they must have felt when they found out what he was doing in his spare time but saying that
7:44
a couple of Mario's friends did actually suspect that he may have been a drug dealer I mean put quite bluntly he was
7:50
buying way too many luxury items to be just a Starbucks manager but alas no one
7:55
believed he was even capable of hurting another person according to family friends and everyone else who knew him
8:01
he was sweet gentle and kind and definitely not the type of person to be dabbling in the drug
8:09
industry it didn't take long for investigators to uncover more information about his death either and
8:15
one of their first Clues came in the form of surveillance footage at 7:28 p.m. in the evening of May the 25th 2018
8:23
a surveillance camera located at a 7-Eleven shop in South Hurstville captured Mario walking into the store
8:29
door with another man close behind it was soon determined that the two must know each other but were trying to seem
8:36
unrelated in front of the obvious cameras leading detectives to believe that he was likely Mario's associate
8:43
undisclosed San's footage also showed Mario's associate making three attempts to withdraw money from the store's ATM
8:50
machine but ultimately was unsuccessful now surely that was not part of the plan
8:55
here but shortly after that the two left the store and then disappeared officers
9:01
soon learned that the man that Mario was with was 40-Year-Old Alex Dion and the
9:06
interesting thing here is that he also now seemed to be missing with their newly found knowledge of Mario's drug
9:13
dealings they believed that perhaps this could have been a drug deal gone wrong and this is where the story becomes even
9:20
more concerning because several miles away and just north of Sydney a
9:25
construction worker was just about to discover a very perp ing package his
9:30
assignment on a new property which was currently being built required him to perform some routine checks on the water
9:37
tank but after making his way over to inspect that water tank he noticed that
9:42
something was inside it peering in he saw a bag that was filled with clothes a
9:48
metal bar and two Tire irons and after taking a closer look he realized that
9:53
the clothes found within had blood all over them no surprise he called the authorities immediately when officers
10:00
investigating Mario's case caught wind of this information they were quick to realize that Alex had in fact been
10:07
working on that very same property the week prior you see Alex was a Tyler so
10:12
he would have needed several days at that house and now suddenly this was all looking a little too suspicious for him
10:19
when they tried to contact Alex for questioning they were no surprise met with silence and after stopping by his
10:26
property well more bad news his neighbors confirmed that they hadn't seen him in over a week in addition to
10:33
this several neighbors came forward to the officers to claim that they had seen him washing his car with a high press
10:39
hose in the early morning hours before he disappeared with this in mind the New South Wales Police Department held a
10:46
news conference to seek The public's help in Mario's case and while doing this they quietly revealed some evidence
10:53
on Alex to see how he would react but before we continue this case who
10:58
precisely is Alex Dion well unfortunately not a huge amount is known about him but there are a few details so
11:06
Alex was actually a US citizen who only lived in Sydney for work he was a married man with a wife and two children
11:13
all of which lived back in the US in California what he was doing in Sydney wasn't particularly clear however he had
11:21
established himself for a couple of years now after being in a horrific car accident a year prior he was left with
11:27
both chronic pain and discomfort comfort and so as a result he turned to methampetamine to help cope with that
11:34
pain it was already known that he had connections with another drug dealer who in that time had been arrested so it's
11:41
likely that Alex then moved over to Mario to find new Supply so we have a man who takes
11:47
methamphetamine who is caught on surveillance camera with a drug dealer who is now dead and he failed to
11:52
withdraw cash from the ATM for those drugs all of this is slowly starting to make sense now don't you think
11:58
ironically Alex would contact the authorities before they had the chance to track him down but he was actually
12:04
nowhere near them anymore in fact he was all the way over in San Diego he told the police that he believed that it was
12:10
his housemate and friend who had killed Mario but when asked if he had Mario's phone number and credit cards he did
12:16
admit to taking them to America with him and that wasn't great news for officers who now had even more questions than
12:22
when they began however before they could even establish a more permanent connection with Alex he had instead hung
12:28
up on them never to call again so let's talk about what actually happened
12:33
starting from the very beginning after losing his previous supplier Alex got in touch with Mario to see if he could sort
12:39
out some methamphetamine that is when the two arranged to meet at a local 7-Eleven store in Hurstville which of
12:45
course is where this surveillance footage was captured the surveillance camera shows that Alex couldn't withdraw
12:51
any cash required to pay Mario which of course created a problem for their deal
12:56
so Alex's Plan B was rather simple he decided to Rob Mario instead he invited
13:02
him back to his apartment where he promised he had the money as a result the two of them then traveled back to
13:07
his place with Mario as a passenger that is when unfortunately he was mercilessly battered across the head sustaining very
13:15
significant trauma and more than 24 head injuries in the process which of course
13:20
ultimately caused his death Alex then ripped up his T-shirt using it to tie Mario up before wrapping his body in a
13:27
mattress protector and placing it in the back of his Hundai Teran SUV after that
13:33
he then drove around the city smoking all of the ice he had stolen he eventually found himself on homebush Bay
13:39
Drive where he callously dumped the body discarding only one of Mario's leather boots in the process he then dumped his
13:46
bloody clothing amongst other items at the construction site he was working at in the days prior blood had found its
13:53
wayway into the boot and exterior of his car forcing Alex to pressure wash the vehicle in the middle of the night
13:59
the commotion caused others living nearby to notice what he was doing which was another vital clue which helped the
14:05
police to pin him down in an eratic state after consuming a bunch of methamphetamine and also you know
14:12
murdering someone Alex called his wife in the United States and told her that he had found himself in trouble now of
14:19
course he wasn't going to tell her that he had just murdered someone instead he claimed that he was being targeted by
14:25
Rogue drug dealers and that his life was in danger this quite clearly panicked her and so as a result she bought him a
14:32
flight ticket back home scheduled to leave that night now because she was the one to buy him a ticket it was less
14:38
evident that he had fled the country however officers would eventually find this image of Alex at the airport but
14:45
before leaving Alex had one more trick up his sleeve he used Mario's phone to text his housemate to organize a drug
14:52
deal that would never take place in what was a crude attempt to implicate his friend in the murder real slimy stuff
14:59
and so only 24 hours after Mario's death Alex was gone he bordered a one-way
15:05
flight to the United States flying home to San Diego via Honolulu believe it or
15:10
not but shortly after arriving in the United States he then tried to use Mario's card three times to get money
15:17
but again failing to acquire the cash that he so desperately wanted to blow on Ice by the time Alex became a blip on
15:24
detectives Radars he was already long gone and unfortunately his arrest warrant would take quite some time too 3
15:31
months later in September of 2018 it was finally issued and with Australia and
15:37
the US cooperating in the EXT tradition treaty they could thankfully demand him back with notice you know maybe if Alex
15:44
had kept his head down for a while then he could have outrun the American authorities but due to his own stupid
15:51
actions it was actually effortless to find him he was already behind bars on a
15:56
domestic violence charge in San Diego and so after completing that charge he
16:01
was extradited to Australia on April the 14th 2019 where he was then arrested
16:06
immediately after arriving in Sydney and so with Alex now in their
16:13
hands he was at the full mercy of the law so how do you think he pleaded not
16:18
guilty of course he told officers that not only had he not murdered Mario but he was not responsible for any of his
16:25
injuries either in addition to this he would once again tell officers that he believed that his housemate was the one
16:30
to murder Mario and the reason why he was framed well that's because he secretly fancied his girlfriend Alex
16:36
would also claim that his barbaric housemate forced him to dispose of the body and that for whatever reason he had
16:42
to do it naked however several parts to his story was simply not adding up to the evidence stacking against him namely
16:49
the part where he told officers that Mario was with his housemate at the gas station his bogus testimony aside other
16:55
articles of evidence make his involvement almost irre all I mean for one the shirt he had worn on the 90
17:02
murdered Mario which was also picked up on surveillance footage was the very shirt found in Mario's mouth when his
17:08
body was discovered in addition to this the leather boot found under his body matched another leather boot found in
17:14
Alex's apartment clearly proving that Mario was inside of his home Mario's DNA
17:20
was also found on the wall of Alex's garage where he washed his vehicle and phone records showed that the two were
17:26
in contact with each other throughout the entire day before he died now Alex did admit that he intended to buy $900
17:33
worth of methamphetamine from Mario however as we know his debit cards were then declined at the service station and
17:40
although he claimed that he didn't kill Mario he did admit that he was the one who disposed of his body saying quote I
17:47
was very embarrassed to tell any person what I had done it was embarrassing to tell the truth yeah no [ __ ] Alex while
17:55
in court the prosecution argued that Alex deliberately called caused very serious injuries to Mario in which
18:01
resulted in his death this included 27 soft tissue injuries to his head and fractures to his skull which usually are
18:08
inflicted with a high degree of force there was one forensic pathologist who suggested that the extent of head
18:15
injuries that Mario had suffered could have been caused by him falling over however other Pathologists rebuffed
18:21
these claims saying that this would require Mario to fall onto a raised object and then stand up and then fall
18:27
down several more times times to injure different parts of his head they also argued that there was no evidence to
18:34
suggest the injuries were caused in self-defense or that Alex had help from any other parties in the end the jury
18:41
found him guilty of the murder of Mario petang he was therefore sentenced to 25
18:46
years in jail with a non-parole period of 18 years and 9 months this means that
18:51
with time served Alex will be eligible for parole in September of 2043 which
18:56
sounds like a very long time away if you ask me during his sentencing the judge said Mr petang was dumped in a sad and
19:04
pitiful resting place in a contemptuous manner with about as much respect as would be afforded by a piece of rubbish
19:11
one constant in all of the descriptions of wera petang was that he was a peaceful and nonviolent person from the
19:18
time he realized that he'd been lured into a trap in the underground car park until he lost Consciousness he would
19:24
have been terrified and your tears at the sentencing hearing are insufficient to demonstrate remorse and so with all
19:31
said and done Alex is now behind bars where he will stay for the next couple of decades meanwhile Mario is gone and
19:39
will never have the opportunity to experience life again his aunt told the Supreme Court that she regrets bringing
19:45
her nephew to Australia while his mother said she knows in her heart that he was a good person and that he always treated
19:52
his parents with gratitude she further said that she is tortured by her only son's horrific death and struggled R to
19:59
understand why it happened in her own words she said I miss my son so much
20:04
nowadays I live as if I can only breathe to survive I'm like a dead person while
20:10
still alive his wife said that while loving Mario may not have been the easiest task in the world sometimes she
20:16
loves him now and forever you know stories like this
20:22
always come with some form of mild internal conflict I mean I feel terrible for Mario as all of us should he never
20:28
deserved to die but this is one of the many reasons why you should not stick your nose in drugs unfortunately some
20:34
addicts will murder for supply and Mario he had it I do really hope that his
20:40
family and friends are recovering from this terrible story and now with that said it's time to move on to the next
Woramet Taoto
20:46
one our next case takes us to the same country in which Mario was born and of course I'm talking about Thailand but
20:52
unfortunately the ending to this is just as tragic so the information around this story is a little more limited lied to
20:59
what we normally cover here in coffee house crime hence why this is a much shorter story but the information
21:04
available will absolutely terrify you and so without further Ado please grab yourself another coffee this is the case
21:11
of vet
21:17
toota welcome to Thailand folks now we have been here a few times before on the
21:23
channel but unlike our previous stories all of which have happened on the southern Islands today we are traveling
21:29
to the northern and mountainous region of changai it's a place that I've been to myself on more than one occasion and
21:35
changmai has a very special place in my heart to name a few amazing things it is brimming with waterfalls ancient cities
21:43
bustling markets and incredible Wildlife saying that the rules and regulations
21:48
for Animal Welfare are not the best here so please do your research before you spend money to see tigers and elephants
21:55
this place is seriously beautiful though and honestly I hope to return for a third visit sometime in the future but
22:02
enough about that let's talk about a case that disrupted the area's peace and Tranquility travel southeast of changmai
22:10
and you will soon find a city named lampang with a population of 60,000 people it is a lot quieter than its
22:16
larger neighbors that being changai and Chang Rai rainforests mountains rivers
22:22
and lakes surround the area and it's a place where you could easily disappear if you wanted to lamang also faces very
22:29
aggressive weather conditions with temperatures reaching up to 44° C or
22:35
111° F during their Summers cast yourself back a little over a year ago
22:40
to the start of 2023 and one of those living here was a young man named waret
22:45
toota waret also had the nickname Ben so for the rest of this video we're going to refer to him by his nickname now Ben
22:53
was a jeel national having a British father named Steve and a time mother named oi it was in the year 2000 that
23:00
Steve and oi fell in love with each other with Steve eventually moving to Thailand to help pursue the relationship
23:07
fast forward four years and they had built a beautiful home in the countryside got married and had a baby
23:13
boy named Ben Ben would often Stand Out Among his friends as a toddler with thanks to his blonde hair he was a
23:20
cheeky Boy Who Loved football and could speak both Thai and English now unfortunately the two would eventually
23:26
divorce leaving Ben right in the middle he would ultimately remain with his mother in lampang while his father made
23:33
the rather difficult decision to return to England but regardless Steve would
23:38
visit his son quite often he recognized the quality of Ben's life was better in Thailand with his mother and the friends
23:44
he had made now Ben was 16 years old at the time that this case took place but
23:50
despite his age he was already quite the character it is clear through the many photos and videos of him online that he
23:57
highly valued offer Road biking in fact it looks like he was really into the sport as a proud Rider and member of the
24:04
soop pra motorcycle club he would go on to win several Motocross trophies and
24:10
hoped to one day open up his own motorbike repair garage and through other photos it seems that he was also
24:17
quite the plant enthusiast and loved his puppy but there was a dodgy side to Ben
24:22
to unknown to his parents he was actually buying and selling drugs in the area in fact he was actually quite vocal
24:30
about it too as you can see through his many translated Facebook posts which if
24:35
you ask me is quite a bold move to say the least but Ben was very well loved with
24:42
many friends two families a bunch of motorbike fans and even two girlfriends he was never alone he was known to be
24:48
bright vocal and very expressive the kind of guy that would never be quiet so
24:53
you can probably imagine when on May the 6th 2023 family and friends were very concerned when he suddenly fell silent
25:01
now to begin with nobody knew a Ben had gone but after a while Ben's mother realized that her scooter was missing
25:07
from the garage and so she assumed he must have taken it somewhere so with that in mind she contacted many of his
25:13
friends but after realizing that nobody knew where he was she decided to call the authorities instead after contacting
25:20
the authorities officers were quick to find this surveillance footage now the concerning clue here is that he was with
25:27
one of his girlfriends friends named surich Chaya kamza who had the nickname pingpong they drove together on a road
25:34
they would usually take to see her grandfather who lived just outside of the city after a little digging around
25:40
and asking questions the Thai police soon confirmed that they had spent time with her grandfather before dropping off
25:46
his other girlfriend yam back home yam told the officers that Ben and pingpong
25:51
had planned to meet a man in the forest though she didn't know what for now she assumed it probably had something to do
25:58
with drugs but she herself wasn't certain but this was all the officers needed to go down a new rabbit hole and
26:05
that is when they found this surveillance footage a small glimpse of a scooter traveling into the darkness at
26:12
7:18 p.m. so yam was telling the truth they seemed to be heading out of town
26:18
for something this information was highly troubling to officers Ben and pingpong who were both 16 years old had
26:26
left the city in the middle of the night to potentially carry out a drug run and now both of them were
26:33
missing sadly it wouldn't take long for their worries to turn into absolute devastation because only one day later
26:40
on May the 7th Ben's body was found in a Grove along a twisting Country Lane less
26:45
than 4 miles away from the village it became clear that he had sustained severe injuries resembling blunt force
26:52
trauma across his head with many cuts across his face and as you can see from
26:58
this video his mother arrived soon after the discovery officers had reported that
27:03
the teenager's phone and cash were missing from his shoulder bag and suggested that he may have been robbed
27:09
they believe he was killed elsewhere and then left in the woods as there were no signs of struggle where his body was
27:15
found Thai media reported that Ben's body was found by a garbage collector who was at work on the Sunday morning he
27:22
was found with his back against a tree wearing a black long-sleeve T-shirt and jeans this terrible Discovery was
27:29
gut-wrenching and painful for all of those who knew Ben with his mother at the center of all of it and his father
27:36
who was situated back here in the UK now faced this Agony halfway across the world no surprise he booked the next
27:43
flight to Thailand whenever a child disappears most parents are faced with the terrible anxiety of never seeing
27:49
them again now statistically most of them will return unscathed however in
27:55
Ben's case it was the worst possible outcome to add to this tragedy there was more confusion and mystery I mean of
28:02
course most people wanted to know who killed Ben but the other question was where was pingpong as you know through
28:09
the surveillance footage Ben and pingpong had left together the night prior but now only one of them had been
28:14
found and the motorbike was still missing but before officers could answer any of those questions themselves they
28:21
suddenly received an unexpected breakthrough after catching wind that a
28:26
man was seen driving a motorcycle without a license plate merely hours after Ben disappeared officers decided
28:33
to hone in to see if they could find out any more information and that is when an anonymous person came forward to point
28:39
out that the man who is named chaiwat boarin had actually driven his black Honda motorcycle to his relatives
28:46
property that night the same bike scene in the surveillance footage and not only
28:51
that but he was with a young woman who seemed to match the exact description of ping pong and so after learning about
28:58
this information officers swiftly decided to inspect the property where lo and behold they found the bike abandoned
29:06
behind a cowed this was enough for officers to pull chaiwat in for questioning and by the evening of May
29:12
the 9th he was rained in to his local police station now chaiwat buaran was
29:18
already known to officers but for all of the wrong reasons putting a slew of minor crimes aside he was also recently
29:26
released from prison after serving time for multiple sex crimes so put quite
29:31
bluntly there is nothing good about this 44-year-old Thug in fact his only
29:36
redeeming quality came from his own confession and sadly he did admit to murdering Ben it turns out that pingpong
29:44
and Ben were allegedly drug Runners for chaiwat who would Supply them with drugs to then sell on to other customers well
29:52
according to the older man Ben had apparently stolen from him and when he found out he became absolutely enraged
30:01
now in a sudden twist to the story and according to multiple sources some people even believe that pingpong had
30:07
Lord B to chaiwat in some sort of Honey Trap situation but it is quite difficult to know if this is true or not I mean
30:14
ping pong had Ben had known each other ever since childhood so if she did sign up to this it would be truly evil of her
30:21
and to add the entirely gross and messy situation it is believed that chaiwat and pingpong were frequently having sex
30:28
now obviously 15 and 44 are not two numbers you should put together so chaiwat would also admit that after
30:34
meeting Ben and ping pong he did in fact murder him with a large wooden plank claiming that it was a drug deal gone
30:40
wrong but he would also claim that he did not touch ping pong because apparently she fled while he was being
30:46
beaten to death by the way it is also worth noting that chaiwat merely claims that Ben stole drugs from him and this
30:52
is not proven whatsoever and we can't believe a single word he says either because only two days after claiming
30:59
that he hadn't touched ping pong and that apparently she must be alive and well some more bad news came in on May
31:06
the 13th ping pong's body was found in a shallow grave buried in a woodland just off the main North South Highway near
31:12
lampang it is worth noting that she was only 2 miles away from where Ben's body was found her parents and grandparents
31:20
identified her body at the scene from the braces on her teeth and the jewelry she had been wearing they broke down in
31:26
tears when it emerged that their daughter had in fact been murdered there were signs of bruising on her face and
31:32
it is expected that she was hit with a solid object until she died it is also
31:37
worth noting this is the same way that Ben was murdered now although this heavily implied that chaiwat was the
31:44
murderer his own tone drastically changed after this you see chaiwat did
31:49
admit to killing Ben but he strongly denied murdering ping pong and while all
31:54
of this was going on even more drama was unfolding just hours after flying to Thailand from the UK Steve would find
32:02
himself face to face with chaiwat the bizarre encounter which took place during a police reconstruction ended in
32:08
Steve screaming at chaiwat shouting look at me in the eye you
32:15
bastard look at me in
32:20
the in fact there was plenty of time for him to say many things to his son's murderer and you can see here just how
32:28
mad he and the others were look at me look at
32:37
me no you can't look cuz you're a coward look look at
32:46
me while Steve and oi are struggling to come to terms with the loss of their son
32:52
they are determined to understand what happened to him and desperately want to know the truth as of the date of this
32:58
video being posted chaiwat has not yet been tried for either of the murders but
33:04
if you ask me it is quite obvious what will come of it there will be many key Witnesses and articles of evidence
33:11
against him and one of those testifying will be the local garbage collector who has already shared how he found Ben
33:17
while he was out collecting bottles as said before the leading theory By Thai investigators is that Ben had become
33:24
caught up in a drug deal and that sadly he was L to his death in the forest if
33:30
chaiwat is convicted of murdering Ben then he will be given a life sentence Behind Bars however if he is convicted
33:36
of killing two children that including ping pong then he will be executed so
33:41
this is probably why he admits to murdering Ben but consistently denies to murdering ping pong interesting side
33:48
note here but Thai authorities conduct executions via firing squad to be honest
33:53
it is probably cheaper than the more modern injection approach when being asked about the murder and speaking to
34:00
Tai and British media Steve stated he will never see the light of day again
34:05
either he will die of old age in prison be killed there or be executed he deserves whatever he gets he is a waste
34:12
of breath it is just such a waste of young life Ben was such a joy and I loved him so much I thought this place
34:19
was Paradise when I first came here I could have never imagined that something so terrible could happen here as of the
34:25
time of this video being posted chwat buaran remains in custody in the MRE District awaiting trial I've
34:33
tried in the in the last few days to articulate the pain on
34:44
me and I can't I'm in immeasurable
34:53
pain but it's it's also for his mom it's it's
35:01
just a case of taking each day as it
35:08
comes and dealing with it and
35:14
moving moving somehow forward but at the
35:21
moment we are in real real p
35:29
honestly this story is just absolutely terrible through and through here we have two young kids who lost their lives
35:35
for apparently a thug getting upset at losing drugs I think I'm with Ben's father on this one this guy deserves the
35:41
absolute worst for him if there are any updates of course I'll let you know as soon as possible the trial is expected
Outro & Personal Announcement
35:47
either later this year or in 2025 and yeah for now that's the end of the case folks and therefore the end of the video
35:53
