Immediately upon seeing the body, Mr. Nattawut raised his hands in a wai before bowing down to ask for forgiveness from the deceased. This case must be traced back to 3 months ago, on December 19, 2024. The deceased's second brother reported that Mr. Chakrin had been missing from home since December 15, 2024. Before disappearing, Mr. Chakrin had met Mr. Narongsak or Panitpicha, 33 years old, an LGBTQ woman and the deceased's oldest brother.

At that time, Mr. Narongsak was with his boyfriend, Mr. Nattawut, the suspect. After that, he could not contact the deceased again. The police investigated until they found out that Mr. Jakkarin, the deceased, had a violent argument with Mr. Nattawut, to the point of using a gun to shoot. Therefore, they requested the court to approve the arrest warrants for Mr. Nattawut and Mr. Narongsak on charges of attempted murder, possession of a gun, and illegal detention. They were able to track them down and arrest them in the middle of the night on March 25. Both of them confessed to committing the crime and took Mr. Jakkarin's body to bury in the forest. The police went to the burial site and dug up Mr. Jakkarin's body. Yesterday (March 27), the police took Mr. Nattawut to reenact the crime scene according to his confession. As for Mr. Narongsak, the deceased's older brother who was involved in the crime, he did not want to reenact the crime scene.

As for the reason for the murder, Mr. Nattawut claimed that he was angry and enraged that Mr. Chakrin had taken his motorcycle, which he had just changed the wheels to sell, which caused a violent argument and he used a gun to shoot Mr. Chakrin to death. Then they jointly brought the body to hide in the forest at this point and discarded the gun. When the body was found, the police therefore filed additional charges of jointly killing another person with intent and premeditation, possession of a gun, and concealing and concealing a body.
