I am raising funds to assist the young karaoke singer who was attacked by a policeman in Angthong last month. She is mother to one little boy and her own mother has cancer. Through the assistance from Mr. Surasak, the journalist at The Nation responsible for reporting the story, my girlfriend was able to make contact with Suphansa Wichananant, the victim.

She is in reasonably good spirits considering her situation, and her brother is going to assist her to get a small stand and sell earrings and accessories at the local night market, once she recovers from the shock.

She is caring for a child and a very ill mother as well. Tragically, she is now virtually unemployable. She is very grateful for everyone's good wishes.

Only a few hundred baht from a few hundred members at THAIVISA.COM would make a tremendous difference in her life. For overseas members, friends in Thailand can make donations via ATM transfer for you. Any and all assistance would be most appreciated.

Please make deposits, no matter how small to her account:

Karaoke singer accuses policeman of chopping her arm

SARABURI: -- A policeman in Saraburi was temporarily discharged from service on Thursday pending an investigation after a woman accused him of chopping her right arm.

Pol Lance Corporal Nirut Thammasap has been charged with attempted murder and causing serious injuries for his alleged attack on Suphansa Wichananant on February 25, a karaoke singer.

Suphansa alleged that Nirut chopped her arm after she refused to share a table with him and two of his male friends at a karaoke bar she was working.

She said the three followed her on motorcycles and one of them used big knife to cut off her arm.

Two other friends, Nirat Kongtham and Prasarn Bundok who allegedly assisted in the crime have not been charged with any offence.

It is not yet clear on Thursday who chopped her arm.

I have only just read that report and it is truely horrendeous. Such a young lady and such a cowardly attack. Being done by cops is even worse.

What you are doing for her is really good.

I hope it all goes well.

I have sent you a PM.
