A hitman hired to kill a woman has been arrested by police in Phang Nga province in southern Thailand and charged with murder.

The 26-year-old man was paid 2,500 to kill a 38-year-old crab forager from Buriram who allegedly stabbed a man she owed money to who turned to the hitman for revenge.

The body of the deceased was found in a palm oil plantation in the Takuathung on Saturday with a gunshot wound to the head.

Police soon arrested the killer and charged him with murder and firearms offences after he confessed.

A warrant for the arrest of the unnamed man who hired him has been issued.

Pathum Thani police are hunting for a trigger happy trucker who pulled a gun on a man following a minor road incident earlier this week.

The driver of the car told police there had been a minor indecent where he cut in front of the truck as they came off a bridge.

The trucker chased him then pointed the gun out the window as he hurled abuse at the man.

Police took the dashcam footage as evidence and concluded they’d have the gun-totting trucker in for questioning sooner rather than lateer.
