The crime has caused a global shock
The news that the owner of a vegetarian restaurant in Thailand killed a customer and then gave it as food to unsuspecting customers has caused a global shock.
It all started when some customers were surprised as they found pieces of meat in their noodles. Then they complained to the authorities and their reaction led to some horrible discoveries.
Research has shown that the meat was not beef or pork, but was actually human flesh.
Police searched the restaurant and saw that the walls and floor of the kitchen were full of blood and there were pieces of human flesh on the ground.
The worst that the police found was the decomposing body of a 61-year-old man in the septic tank of the restaurant.
The restaurant managers left the place when the officers arrived.
The decomposed body was identified as a customer of the restaurant.
A frequent customer, Prasit Inpathom, last went to the restaurant with a drink on October 21 with his brother.
According to local reports, Prasit had a verbal altercation with the restaurant owner.
Their quarrel escalated and the 61-year-old suffered fatal injuries, according to police reports.
The owner of the restaurant hit the 61-year-old on the head with a heavy object and gave him six knives in his stomach and leg.
Police say the owner intended to get rid of Prasit's body by melting it and feeding it to customers.
It is not known if the customers finally consumed the body of the 61-year-old.
