Missing girl on train found dead, raped

[LaughTilIDie]

Korkenzieher I agree but from what I've seen here, the victims go through hell in a courtroom. We have the absolute worst judicial system for prosecuting rape. It's a travesty to say the least.
Put him to sleep and put the jackass that got him the job in prison as well.

NCPO removes SRT governor

The military junta has removed State Railway of Thailand governor Prapat Chongsanguan in the wake of the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl on an overnight train.

Before being removed from his position, Mr Prapat announced the SRT would carry out random urine drug and narcotic testing on its employees and deploy staff to patrol train carriages during night hours to ensure safety, staring from today. A committee will be set up to take charge of this task.

On Friday, the SRT will institute a ban on alcohol consumption at stations and onboard the trains.

The SRT will arrange at least one all-female passenger carriage on every overnight train in the next two weeks. Mr Prapas also pledged to review the qualifications and backgrounds of 90 SRT staff who were recruited at the same time as Mr Wanchai.

I wonder if any of the below confessed? The time between (Edit: conviction) and execution also surprises me. It's something not usually published/revealed here. If in the west I think the average time is a decade or more.

Available data shows that only some five convicted rapists-cum-murderers have been executed in Thailand's recent history.

Now, in the wake of the tragic death of a 13-year-old girl, the Kingdom's legal punishment against sexual attackers has come under public scrutiny.

The young victim was raped, killed and thrown out of the train while she was travelling home to Bangkok on Sunday. As soon as the shocking crime hit the media, a large number of people began demanding that rapists must pay for their deeds with their lives.

A look back into history reveals that only five rapists were executed between 1999 and 2014.

Somsak Pornnarai was put to death in 1999 for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl in Loei. The girl's family had unsuspectingly brought Somsak into their home after he had completed his jail term for another crime.

In 1996, another former convict, known as Phan or Lae Sai-thong, raped and killed a five-year-old girl in her school's toilet cubicle in Bangkok.

In 1996, a 49-year-old father was arrested for allegedly raping and killing his four-year-old daughter at a wood factory in Bangkok. He tried to pass the blame onto his son, but DNA tests managed to nail down the father.

He was finally executed in 2001.

Ampai Saipho, 26, lured a toddler out of a shop in Buri Ram in 1999 with promises of buying her sweets.

Then in a secluded spot, Ampai sexually violated the child and beat her to death. The child was only two years and three months old. Upon arrest, Ampai blamed his acts on drunkenness. He was executed in 2001.

Kao Panyad, 29, raped and killed a 10-year-old girl in Nakhon Pathom in 1996, after he spotted her walking alone down a secluded route along a canal.

He then threw the girl's body into the canal in a bid to make it look like the girl had accidentally fallen over and drowned. However, solid evidence emerged against the man, and he was put to death in 1999."

Get rid of them, I say.

OK, a thief that robs, maybe he can be shown the error of this ways and he may have done it due to poverty or because he couldn't feed his family etc....understood, do your time, retrain them and give a second chance. OK, Not an excuse.......but can be understood if it has little violence attached to it.

People like this cannot be fixed, same with pedo types and a few others.....despite what the fluffy do-gooders say, not fixable. Just get rid of these ones for a better society as there are limits to the "rehabilitation" possibilities, and child-murdering drug takers aren't fixable....neither are the pedo types.

A long drop and a short stop is the order of the day for these people. There is a special place in hell for people like this.

[PeteC]

A news alert just indicated he was sentenced to death today, and can appeal within 30 days. Assume it will be in print in the BKK Post tomorrow. Pete

He was sentenced to death for murder, nine years in jail for raping a girl under 15, five years in prison for stealing while on public transport vehicles at night, one year for hiding a body and six months...

Now does he serve the time before or after he's executed?!
Since the lethal injection replaced the machine gun in 2002, only 6 people have been executed to date. (4 in 2003 and 2 in 2009). With the 'abolition of the death penalty' movement being quite active, I doubt whether this sentence will be carried out.

[europtimiste]

I hope he will be executed by fellow prisoners.

Death sentence upheld for train-rape child killer
The Appeals Court has upheld the death sentence imposed by a lower court for a young railway employee who raped and murdered a 13-year-old girl on a rapid train bound for Bangkok from Nakhon Si Thammarat on the night of July 5 last year.

The Appeals Court's decision was read out in the Hua Hin Provincial Court on Monday in the presence of the convicted killer, Wanchai Saengkhao, aged 23.

Wanchai had been brought from Bang Khwang Prison in Bangkok, where he was incarcerated after being convicted, to Prachuap Khiri Khan Prison on Friday, ahead of Monday's delivery of the verdict.

"I wonder if any of the below confessed? The time between (Edit: conviction) and execution also surprises me. It's something not usually published/revealed here. If in the west I think the average time is a decade or more".

In the UK, when the death penalty was still in force, I think the last execution was in 1964 in England and was still on the statute books as late as 1998.
Back then, after all appeals were exhausted and the Home Office minister had signed the death warrant, there was usually a time period of 6 weeks (6 Sundays had to pass) before the execution took place.

In Japan, when someone is given the death penalty, the condemned don't know when they will be executed, until the jailers/hangman come for him, early in the morning.

With modern DNA evidence, it's a lot harder for the accused to argue they did not commit the crime.
As for the accused rapist/murderer in this case, I have a feeling he will be executed by the present government, (if he loses any appeal he may make) as will any of the bombers they are hunting for at the moment.
Rightly so, IMHO.

[JamesWest]

maybe the girl's father or mother can throw this POS off the back of a train. if not dead, repeat as needed.

or just drag him behind the train...

I would love to agree with you but TIT. The Koh Tao murder trial currently taking place shows exactly what DNA evidence means here......Nothing, nought, nowt, zip and less than zero, when the MIB have decided who is guilty and don't want to be troubled with facts or evidence.

There aren't any comparisons to this case and the Koh Tao case. The Koh Tao case is all over the shop. This one is done and finished.

The guy responsibly will be strung up , preferably by the balls, very quickly. A week should do it. In other cases, more incompetent investigation is required due to an initial incompetent investigation.

That may be the case when Thai murders Thai but the Koh Tao case involves 2 foreign nationals. Do you think their parents or the foreign press will just stand by and watch two innocent Burmese boys be executed? If they were my kids that were murdered, I would want to be absolutely sure they did it, if not, I would bloody well make my feelings known to the Thais and the world press.

I think that you need to read my post more clearly. I wasn't making any comparison between this case and the Koh Tao case. My statement is pretty clear i think?? I was making the point that you can not trust DNA evidence in Thailand
