webfact Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Suspect re-enacts alleged murder of 4 people in rubber plantation By Thai PBS Prachuap Khiri Khan police yesterday (Nov 30) escorted one of the five suspects to re-enact the murder of a family of four at a rubber plantation in Bang Saphan Noi district of Prachuap Khiri Khan. The suspect identified only as Daeng, an ethnic Mon worker at the plantation, was arrested two days ago and was charged for murder. Police said he and four other Mon workers killed a colleague, Nampol Kamkong, and three of his family members included his wife, 5-year-old daughter and his father, after having engaged in heated quarrel over unpaid debt while they were having a drink party at Nampol’s home on Nov 26.

Krataiboy Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I hope somebody, somewhere in the Thai administration is making a note of every one of huge number of Thai children who are killed or maimed as a result of adult drinking. I also hope they will consider publishing, on a regular basis, a running total of these child victims of alcohol abuse, together with portraits of the children and comments from their devastated families. A hard-hitting campaign is needed to stir a public conscience clearly unmoved by official pronouncements of regret and empty promises of action.

I guess this is how Thai justice works. In "some other countries" of course this would be considered unacceptable, and unduly influencing the jury, or something like that. http://www.thailawforum.com/blog/why-are-crime-re-enactments-still-occuring-in-thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By demonstrating how one committed a crime one is effectively admitting liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manbing Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It puzzles me too. I guess this is how Thai justice works. In "some other countries" of course this would be considered unacceptable, and unduly influencing the jury, or something like that. http://www.thailawforum.com/blog/why-are-crime-re-enactments-still-occuring-in-thailand This is living in another culture. Justice is not a one size fits all deal. Is there corruption sure, is there a perceived lack of justice sure, but don't forget that justice doesn't work how you want in the west either. In Thailand there is not the same presumption of innocense. A magistrate I know once told me if the police caught you and bright you to court you must be guilty. Otherwise why arrest you?Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
