In a dramatic turn of events that unfolded in Prachuap Khiri Khan, a young man was apprehended following the grisly discovery of his 21-year-old lover’s lifeless body. The tragic tale began on a dating app where 22-year-old Anuwat Pimmat met his ill-fated lover, Benjarat Choeijan. Their relationship, which initially blossomed during the festive Songkran in April, was abruptly crushed by deceit and fury.
Police nabbed Anuwat at a local eatery in tambon Thongchai of Bang Saphan district around 10 PM on Sunday, after obtaining an arrest warrant from the Phetchaburi Criminal Court. The charges? Murder and the concealment of a body.
The discovery of Benjarat’s body sent shockwaves through the community. Her body was found amidst the dense weeds beside the Phetkasem Highway in tambon Nong Prong of Khao Yoi district on a gloomy Friday. The identification of the 22-year-old from Phuket province was heartbreaking. She was dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts, but notably carried no identification that might hint towards her tragic identity.
On Monday, in a grim reenactment, Anuwat recounted his morbid tale to the police. He explained how their seemingly innocent meeting on a dating app quickly spiraled into a serious romantic liaison. Their meetings weren’t confined to the digital realm; in fact, Anuwat flew from Bangkok to Phuket specially to see her. It was Benjarat who picked him up from his hotel, setting the wheels in motion for a fatal journey.
The pair was traveling to Prachuap Khiri Khan to retrieve a pickup truck meant to be returned to Benjarat’s former boyfriend in Bangkok. That ill-fated drive on June 3 through the scenic Sam Roi Yot district took a dark turn after Anuwat received a phone call from his wife. Yes, his wife. As the truth unraveled, Benjarat erupted in anger, slapping him across the face. In a fit of blind rage, Anuwat strangled her.
What followed was a desperate attempt to cover up the crime. Anuwat drove aimlessly with Benjarat’s body, seeking a place to discard the evidence of his fury. He finally abandoned her by the side of the highway in Khao Yoi district. This grim scene was unveiled four days later, leaving a community in mourning and a young man in police custody.
As the case continues to develop, it stands as a chilling reminder of how quickly tempers can flare and lives can be senselessly lost. The digital age of dating, while filled with promises of love and connection, also harbors the potential for secrecy and deception. One can only hope for justice to be served and for the memory of Benjarat Choeijan to bring about change in the way we approach relationships in this interconnected world.
This is such a tragic story. How could someone be so heartless?
It’s always shocking to hear about such brutality. It seems like the digital age only makes it easier for these horrors to occur.
I agree. Online dating can be very risky. You never really know who you’re meeting.
Absolutely. It’s terrifying to think love can end in something so terrible.
This is why people should be more careful about who they meet online.
Yeah, but you can’t always predict how someone will behave. It’s not entirely the dating app’s fault.
True, but surely there should be more stringent checks or something in place.
That’s idealistic. People lie and deceive, no system can be foolproof.
Perhaps a bit more background checking might help. Just a thought.
I think the real issue here is anger management. How can someone lose control to that extent?
It’s truly horrifying. But I also wonder about his wife. Did she know he was meeting other women?
That’s a good point. Infidelity probably played a part in this tragic event.
Infidelity can cause heartbreak, but murder? That’s just unimaginable.
Absolutely. No matter the situation, taking a life is indefensible.
When will people learn that violence solves nothing?
Unfortunately, tempers can flare and lead to irreversible actions.
Education on conflict resolution should start early. Maybe then tragedies like this can be avoided.
We need to address mental health crises more seriously.
This poor girl didn’t deserve this. It’s so heartbreaking.
I don’t understand how someone can become this violent over a relationship revelation.
Sometimes, people have hidden issues that can be triggered suddenly.
Will justice really be served? Seems like the legal system often lets such criminals off too easily.
It’s important to remember that gender-based violence is a significant issue worldwide.
But what measures can really prevent this from happening again?
The law needs to come down hard on such crimes to deter others.
Harsh penalties may help, but we also need more community awareness and education.
Agreed. A multi-faceted approach is needed.
This scares me. I’m never going to trust anyone I meet online again.
One tragic incident shouldn’t make us lose faith in humanity. But yes, we should be cautious.
That’s easy to say, but how do you stay cautious without becoming paranoid?
The digital age makes dating more accessible, but also more dangerous it seems.
We need to teach respect and empathy from a young age.
What a twisted story. This guy is a monster.
This event makes me question how safe it is to meet strangers nowadays.
Rest in peace, Benjarat. Such a senseless loss of life.
