From Bangkok Post:
A security guard who had beaten 10 fellow workers to death was arrested yesterday, bringing an end to his fatal dislike of guards who liked taking a nap on duty.
Witaya Jaikhan, a security guard at Samitivej Srinakarintara Hospital, confessed to police he had ''wiped out'' those he said took advantage of their bosses and did not deserve to be paid for sleeping on the job.
The 30-year-old, who had worked as a security guard for slightly more than one year, decided to punish other security guards after his attempts to wake them failed.
''I used to wake them up, but they scolded me. So I've remained enraged since then,'' said Mr Witaya.
Since January he killed 10 and seriously wounded eight others, according to Metropolitan police chief Assawin Kwanmuang.
His latest offence occurred on Nov 4 when he beat a guard at a pawnshop on Navamin road.
Mr Witaya told police that his crimes were done in steps, starting by waking them up first. If they kept sleeping, he would beat them to death or give them severe injuries, he added.
Police said the man used a one-metre wooden or metal stick as his weapon and would strike his victims on the head when they slept.
The Metropolitan Police Bureau has been hunting him since he hit the security guard of a car showroom on Ram Inthra road in July. Police had his photo from a security camera and traced him from a stolen mobile phone. He called his wife in the northeastern province of Nong Khai using the stolen phone.
According to the police interrogation, Mr Witaya often cruised down Ram Inthra, At Narong, Nuan Chan, Navamin and Srinakarintara roads looking for sleeping security guards. He also went to Samut Prakan to look for victims there.
After killing or injuring the drowsy guards, he would steal their belongings and flee.
''I took their candies, chocolates and mobile phones,'' he told police.
''Then I sold the phones at Seacon Square shopping mall.''
Police initially pressed murder and theft charges against him, said Pol Lt-Gen Assawin.
Police sent him to Galaya Rajanagarindra Institute yesterday to check if he is mentally ill.
However, Taweesin Visanuyothin, a spokesman for the Department of Mental Health, questioned his motive, saying he may not be suffering from a mental disorder.
''His actions apparently were aimed at robbery,'' said Dr Taweesin.
If Mr Witaya is found to have a mental illness, his punishment will be reduced.
Kampanat Tantitabutkul, a psychiatrist at the Galaya Rajanagarindra Institute, said psychiatrists need at least two weeks to discover if he is mentally ill.
Dr Kampanat said the suspect needed to do a set of questionnaires which would initially tell if he has signs of mental illness. Then experts from various fields, including social work specialists, would observe his expressions before making final conclusions, he said.
