In a chilling turn of events, a brutal homicide confession has shocked a small community in southern Thailand. Muhammad Rusli, a 24-year-old man, turned himself in to authorities, confessing to the murder of Jaelong Baluebae, a 71-year-old durian buyer. Rusli revealed the grim details of the murder, confessing that he buried the older man’s body near a canal in Taya village, situated in the Narathiwat province, thereby placing the tragic event on September 6.
The victim’s body was discovered on Saturday, September 9, sending waves of shock and sorrow through the local community. This shocking reveal became public after Rusli surrendered, narrating how an argument between the two men escalated into the harrowing crime. The events unfolded in Rusli’s durian orchard, where the victim had gone to make a purchase.
Amidst heated words and rising tempers, Rusli confessed that he struck Jaelong with a spade, causing fatal injuries. To hide his heinous act, he packaged the body in a rice bag and buried it near the canal. Fleeing the crime scene, Rusli sought refuge in the Pattani province.
Unfortunately for Rusli, the weight of his actions didn’t allow him to rest. Consumed by guilt and anxiety, he found himself unable to sleep for several days. This psychological torment finally led him to surrender to the police. Upon hearing his confession, the authorities took swift action, charging him with murder and improper handling of a corpse, as reported by KhaoSod.
Meanwhile, the victim’s daughter voiced her relief that justice would be met swiftly. However, she mourned the loss of her father deeply, stating that there had been no previous disagreements between Rusli and her father, besides the regular interaction for durian purchases. In her grief, she expressed, “No family should ever have to experience a tragedy like this.”
The unsettling increase in brutal murder cases in Thailand is causing alarm. One such incident highlights a 49-year-old noodle vendor, now facing arrest for the alleged murder of a 63-year-old moneylender in Lampang. This disturbing crime originated from a dispute over loan repayment, which spiraled out of control. For more on this story, click HERE.
