A man accused of brutally killing a dog and posting a video clip on his Facebook page was arrested in Mukdahan province on Sunday.

Witthaya Chaiyan, 29, of Mukdahan, was apprehended at his house in Ban Kham Pa Lai of Muang district while co-suspect Saner Roopngam, 48, managed to escape.

The arrest was made after a civic group complained to Provincial Police Region 4 about a clip on Mr Witthaya’s Facebook account, "Khon Na Buea’’ (A Boring Man).

Police said he admitted recording the video last Wednesday, when Mr Saner bashed the dog on the head with a hunk of wood then slashed its throat as it lay dying. The animal was killed for its meat, according to the title of the clip.
