Family of victim in fatal Chanthaburi gang rape confront assailants

By The Nation

 

 

Relatives of a 21-year-old woman who was gang-raped and left for dead in Chanthaburi on May 26 believe she must have been drugged or plied with alcohol and unable to resist being abducted from a nightclub.
 

The victim’s uncle said the family was waiting for forensic test results to confirm their suspicion.

 

The single mother raised her two young children on her own, earning a living selling cosmetics online, said the uncle, whose name is being withheld to protect the victim’s identity.

 

“She was an orphan. She took care of her two young children after separating from her husband,” he said. “People shouldn’t make assumptions based on how she dressed or her spending time with friends in nightclubs.”

 

The family is waiting until the case is solved before collecting her body from the morgue for religious rites.

 

The victim was at the Orbit Pub in Muang Chanthaburi with three female friends but then vanished. The friends assumed she’d gone home.

 

But a CCTV camera recording widely shared on social media showed four men carrying the unconscious victim out of the pub and placing her in the back of a pickup truck that then sped away.

 

Police identified and arrested all four men early this week.

 

Chanthaburi police chief Pol Maj General Charan Jitjeuajun on Wednesday identified them as Natthapong Saenkla, 24, Patthawee Boontham, 23, Surasit Jaikhammee, 23, and an 18-year-old man whose name was withheld due to his age.

 

Charan said three of the men confessed to rape but insisted they didn’t drug the woman. Surasit said he was present but did not take part in the rape. He’s been charged as an accessory to rape pending forensic test results.

 

Police led the four men who work as debt collectors through a crime re-enactment at the scenes of the abduction in Muang and the rape in Ma Kham district, where about 20 relatives of the victim and angry bystanders shouted condemnation.

 

After further interrogation, they were taken to court to apply for a detention order on Thursday afternoon.

 

Relatives including the victim’s 65-year-old grandmother also confronted a young woman who appeared in the CCTV recording carrying the victim’s purse to the truck.

 

Appearing at Ma Kham District police station on Thursday afternoon, the unidentified woman told the relatives she didn’t know the victim personally but knew one of the four suspects and assumed the victim had consented to go with them.

 

“I have no idea where they took her after that,” she said, though the relatives remained suspicious she knew more.

 

Pol Lt Colonel Jirajet Chitplu said the victim’s three friends who invited her to the pub were being sought for questioning.

As she was totally unconscious, how the <deleted> could she consent to anything.

Another totally pathetic Thai excuse.

Watch this case closely, Gangsters (Protected) think (know) they can drug (kill) an innocent woman. Be appropriate for each man? (male) to undergo complete castration.

These guys are my description of soooooooooo many young 'Thai Guys' (I think INDIA has more than their share of them, also)........... And I 'know' that you can't lump all people into any 'single catagory'......... BUT.......... It seems that there is an overwhelming number of 'Thai Guys' who fall into this or similar 'catagories'.........

I believe in the EYE FOR AN EYE repayment plan.....  God Bless the inventer and all the installers of 'video surveillance cameras'...

 

Also for quite a while I have been noticing one particularTV poster (whose name starts with a B and ends with an s) who seems to label as 'SAD' --- every posters replies suggesting that perpratators of rape, child molestation and pedo get punished.......... I have been watching for a long time and can't help mentioning the frequency I see his reactions......... Has anyone else noticed what I've seen????????     You can see his 'reactions' just above and a few other time just above my reply in this article.........

I know that having 'your own opinion' is a freedom........ But IT can also 'label you'........ Don't you agree????

 I saw what certainly looked to be a young woman walking alongside the guys in the CCTV video, but nothing was mentioned of it until this latest news report. And I was trying to figure out, if it was a woman, how could she be going along passively with that, since the victim was obviously totally out of it.

 

And now we find out the young woman walking is apparently an acquaintance of one of the suspects. Good on her. The four guys are carrying an unconscious woman that presumably neither they nor the woman knew personally into the back of a pickup truck to drive off, and the woman thinks nothing of it????  PLEASEIIIIII

 

Now how about the guard or other type in uniform who walked right past the group carrying the young woman, and doesn't even appear to bat an eyelash at what's going on. What's his story/excuse???

 

 

[nausea]

Plenty of predators out there; these are the ones we hear about, I wonder how many go unreported.

Let's trust a wai doesn't work wonders.

"Up to she, mai pen rai.. Mai roo, I don't know.." are the top Thai excuses, so my guess is that the young woman and the guard would stick to these as well.

Execute them.  No mercy
