AYUTTHAYA: A 56-year-old taxi motorcyclist has surrendered to police after killing his neighbour by driving a car into him.

Paiboon Sangsarn surrendered at a police station on Monday morning. He is charged with murdering neighbour Suphan Yatbanthung, 57, on Saturday.

Mr Paiboon allegedly told police he lost his temper. He had a long-running dispute with Suphan, whom he accused of continually blocking their shared side-street. He said Suphan had been inconsiderate towards him and the other neighbours.

"I was walking past the man's house because I had been hired to drive a car to take some children to a football field. The man was watering some plants and sprayed the water towards me, and gave me eyebrow raises. I couldn't have been angrier, and did it," Mr Paiboon said.

He said he had since repented. 

Video from a closed-circuit camera in their soi showed Suphan watering plants in front of his house. Mr Paiboon, who lives next door, walked out of his house and spoke to Suphan before walking towards his car.

Mr Paiboon reversed and almost hit Suphan's clothesline, which extended out into the soi. 

He picked up an elderly man and two boys waiting in the street, then accelerated forward and drove into Suphan.

He then drove away. Suphan's body was left on the road about 50 metres from where he was hit.

Police later found the car abandoned at a football field about three kilometres away.
