THAILAND: 3 MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR KILLING BRITISH MAN AND WIFE
June 4, 2019: Three men in northern Thailand were found guilty on 31 May 2019 of murdering a British expat and his Thai wife and sentenced to death. The bodies of retired petroleum engineer Alan Hogg, 64, and his wife Nhot Suddaen, 61, were found buried on their property in Phrae province last September. The Phrae Provincial Court found Nhot’s older brother, Warut Rattanasajjakit, guilty of masterminding the couple’s murders and hiring two other men to help him carry out the attack. All three were found guilty of premeditated murder, concealing bodies, illegal possession of weapons without licenses and bringing those weapons into the city without licenses. Police had accused Warut of plotting the murders in order to take control of Hogg’s assets and sell some of them. (Sources: AP, 01/06/2019)
