THAILAND: BIKER GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE FOR PATTAYA MURDER
December 23, 2024: A member of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club on December 20, 2024 was sentenced to death and two others given life imprisonment in Thailand for the murder of a German property broker whose dismembered body was found in a freezer in Pattaya last year.
The dismembered body of Hans Peter Walter Mack, 62, was found in a freezer at a house in Bang Lamung district on July 10 last year by police. He had not been seen by his family since July 4.
Police arrested two Germans — Olaf Thorsten Brinkmann, 52, and Petra Christl Grundgreif, 54 — and a Pakistani man holding Thai nationality, Zahrouk Kareem Uddin, 27.
According to police, the trio had abducted Mack and murdered him before transferring 3.35 million baht from the victim’s bank account.
During the trial, Brinkmann and Ms Grundgreif, confessed to the crimes. As their confessions were useful, the court commuted their sentences to life imprisonment. Uddin said he was innocent. (Source: Bangkokpost, 23/12/2024)
