TOUGH JUSTICE

Evil brother-in-law who hired hitman to slaughter Brit expat Alan Hogg and Thai wife is sentenced to DEATH in Thailand

THE twisted brother-in-law who organised the murder of a retired British millionaire and his wife was today sentenced to death.

Warut Satchakit, 63, planned the sickening murder of Alan Hogg, 63, and his wife Nott, 61, inside their home in Phrae, northern Thailand, in September last year.

The jealous brother in law paid hit man Kittipong Kamwan, 24, to batter Nott to death with a hammer while his pal Phia Kamsai, 63, blasted Alan with a shotgun.

Alan’s body was found a few days later buried alongside his wife in a two-metre deep hole behind a duck pond in the grounds of their sprawling home.

Warut and the two hit men confessed to murder and concealing the body while a fourth man, Sima Uppamun, 60, who acted as an ‘agent’ to help Warut with the plan, was jailed for 25 years.

The Phrae Provincial Court today sentenced the three killers to death by legal injection but they will have 30 days to appeal the ruling.

BITTER JEALOUSY

If the appeal is not successful, they will be executed in secret by the state within a few days of the hearing.

Alan’s relatives were at the court today to hear the judgement but declined to speak with the media.

They left in a white Ford Ranger pick-up truck.

The son of killer Phia Kamsai, 63, also attended the hearing, but speaking afterwards he said that he would not be allowed to see his father.

Speaking after in a black and white football shirt, he said: "I still haven’t had contact with my father since this happened. My mother sent a letter to me about the sentencing today.

"I will not be allowed to see him again. I was working abroad when this happened and only knew when I saw in the news."

Following the brutal double murder last year, it emerged that Warut had fallen out with Alan and Nott over a long-running family feud.

He had become increasingly jealous at Alan’s wealth, which the retired Brit had used to build a luxury mansion while he lived in a shabby wooden hut next door.
