Family stunned by daughter’s suicide after overseas trauma

By The Nation

 

 

THE MOTHER of a 26-year-old Khon Kaen woman, who reportedly committed suicide due to the prospect of being detained for another three months for questioning after she was rescued from a prostitution ring in Malaysia, has expressed disbelief that her daughter would commit suicide when she was so close to returning home.

 

The distraught mother collected her daughter’s body from the Institute of Forensic Medicine yesterday.

 

The 45-year-old mother, whose name is being withheld to protect the victim’s identity, spoke to officials from the Social Development and Human Security Ministry who visited her at home in Muang Khon Kaen on Thursday to see if the family qualified for any aid.

 

The mother said her daughter had found a job via a Facebook user going by the name of Daranibong Nurainee, who promised she would get a waitress job in South Korea paying Bt70,000 monthly and offered to pay all her travel expenses for her.

Despite relatives warning against taking up the offer as it could be a criminal’s trick, her daughter insisted on going in the hope of helping to pay for repairs for the family’s home and to support the family, said the mother.

 

She boarded the plane on April 26 and ended up on an island in Malaysia, where she was told she would work as a waitress at a Thai restaurant. She later contacted her mother to tell her that she no longer served food and had been forced into prostituting herself.

 

The girl was held against her will and refused food unless she complied. She told her mother she had even been forced to drink water from the toilet to survive. Moreover, she told her family they would have to repay the agent who brought her to Malaysia to obtain her freedom.

 

Relatives then contacted the Facebook crime news community “E-jan”, which led to a raid on May 10 by Malaysian police to rescue her daughter and two other Thai victims. The daughter sent a Facebook message to a relative that she had been taken to an emergency home and should soon be back in Khon Kaen.

 

Last Friday, the mother was shocked to hear about her daughter’s suicide and said she thought she might be the victim of foul play.

 

Khon Kaen governor Somsak Jangtrakul said the Department of Consular Affairs had said the woman’s suicide was related to stress after learning she would be detained for another three months for an investigation.

 

He urged people wishing to work aboard to contact only legally-registered job agencies or the Department of Employment, in order to avoid becoming a victim of criminals.

That does sound odd.. 

This smells of a cover up. Someone, up the chain, didn't want to be exposed !!

Just a guess obviously.....

 

Very sad indeed

[Just1Voice]

Sorry, but I'm not buying the "suicide" excuse. 

[colinneil]

Suicide my a++e, poor girl had to shut up, because my BIG is well known, or government official, not wanting his scam exposed.

Sad very sad, RIP young lady.

Let other young ladies take note, most of the dream jobs advertised on facebook are scams.

[mok199]

where is her father through all this ???..wait let me guess...

Sad if that's true. Suicide after all that shi-e? Nah. RIP.

Silence is golden if the gold is distributed in the right places.

Maybe her mother never thought that her daugther would fall for a job scam on Internet either. Maybe she actually knew very small about her daugther.

I"m a bit amazed that the red flags didn't go up when the destination of the flight was not South Korea.  Having a ticket in hand with the destination of Malaysia should have stopped her in her tracks.  For what ever reason it didn't. 

[phantomfiddler]

I remember a case many years ago in southern Thailand where a girl managed to escape from a similar establishment. She went to the nearest police station, where her throat was slit and her body unceremoniously thrown out of the window.

[lemonjelly]

Why was she detained for 3 months, hadn’t she been through enough already?

[holy cow cm]

Sad.

I'm not sure that means they're any better, especially when it comes to protecting business interests in which they're either involved or safeguarding for a price.

These 'rescues' are a sad joke. RIP young lady.

The chances they are involved in rackets like that are virtually zero.

 

they don't operate like the filthy RTP.

The problem is not knowing that the suicide was crap but proving it.

 

I think detaining her may have been the right and necessary thing to do.  She is a victim and witness to everything that happened.  The last thing a prosecutor would want is her leaving the country it would kill his chances of getting justice because he would lack the proof.

 

It is still a shame and again these people have to beware.  The only way to possibly stop it is to regulate it through the government that you have to have a permit and be registered with the BOI.  that is not even going to stop it all.

As numerous news reports have documented, there's a lot of cross Thai-Malaysia border human trafficking that goes on, both for laborers and prostitution. So either the Malaysian police are involved at some level, or they're totally and completely inept. If I was guessing, I'd guess it's more of the former.

 

[onlycw]

WTH?!? Why was the victim being detained (for 3 long months)?!?

 

If this what ASEAN is all about, good night. 

[observer90210]

Why is it that only the nice type, decent  girls get so sadly trapped and recruited by criminals ?

 

There are a fair amount of girls in Thailand who would openly be more then willing to take up entertaining men for money. Why not recruit these types of women ?

 

Why lie to the decent girls and trap them as such ?

 

Sad,

 

Rip to the victim.

Do you want to bet?   They are just a implicit in this as the RTP.

Yes. The Malaysian police would never get involved in a case where a female foreign national turned up dead because she had close links with some very, very powerful Malaysian government ministers.

Oh well. A 24 year old girl comes in contact with some unknown person on facebook and is promised a waitress job in Korea paying 70k monthly and free air tickets. No visa needed. Her family warns her but she still goes ahead. And is given a boarding pass for Malaysia and still goes ahead.

Odious victim blaming much?

 

Some of these country girls are truly 'farm-fresh.' Or to use another glib retort that you probably embrace already in your all-knowing, condescension, 'fresh off the banana boat.' The fact that some people are poor, desperate for money and blissfully ignorant of air travel requirements aren't grounds to dismiss their death as somehow insignificant is it?

 

Some people still prey on these vulnerabilities.

 

And others mock them when they die.
