Woman and Good Samaritan who helped her killed by ex-boyfriend by ramming car into them
A 32-year-old man in Surin, Thailand, has been arrested after deliberately ramming his car into his ex-girlfriend and a Good Samaritan who tried to help her, resulting in their deaths on Monday (8 June).
Initially thought to be an accident, police confirmed that the incident was a premeditated double murder after reviewing dashcam and in-cabin footage.
Suspect accelerates to 140km/h to hit victims

According to Khaosod, Anon earlier confronted Ms Thidarat at the hotel where she worked as a cashier. Both then left in a black MG car, with Ms Thidarat behind the wheel.
However, the pair, who were travelling in the same vehicle, engaged in an argument.
Ms Thidarat then exited the car when she realised Anon was armed with a knife.

Mr Natthanon, an employee at the Surin Provincial Electricity Authority, allowed her to ride his motorcycle to safety — only to be struck deliberately.
The footage captured Anon chasing the fleeing victim and accelerating his car up to 140km/h before striking the motorcycle.
