Video: Villagers try to lynch top policeman's son who murdered gran and grandson in their own home

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Video footage on Facebook taken by Thai Rath showed the moments when a top policeman's son was taken on a reenactment of a horrific crime that has shocked Thailand.

 

Watcharaphon Sima, 20, or who the media have dubbed "Ai For" was taken by 100 cops to the house where he repeatedly stabbed 56 year old Sanom Kaesorn and her 11 year old grandson Attakowit Monthajan a week ago.

 

A crowd of 70 villagers turned up trying to get at the suspect. After the reenactment at the house he was taken to apologize to the coffins of the deceased.

 

It was the day of their cremation.

 

"Ai For" is the son of a senior policeman, said Thai Rath.

 

He broke into the house in Nong Khawai sub district of Lomsak, Petchabun in the early hours of July 25th after arriving on a motorcycle he borrowed.

 

He claimed he thought the house was empty.

 

The occupants woke up and he murdered the young boy first with a knife. He then stabbed his gran 40 times.

 

It was all for a mobile phone and a one baht weight piece of gold jewelry.

 

Thai posters online said Thai punishments were pathetic - some like Pear Eastough called for the death penalty in this case.

 

Police said that justice will be done for the victims and their family. They said the investigation had been intense resulting in the arrest of the suspect within seven days.

It seemed the villagers knew that lynching the murderer was

the only way they were going to see any form of justice,knowing

that connected people in Thailand rarely face justice.

It could have been done a lot quicker if the cops had given him to the mob. Murdering a boy and a grannie for a pittance, he deserves a bad end.

[colinneil]

Dont worry Sima daddy will fix it, 1000 baht fine, you have already done the wai ing bit, get your head shaved couple of weeks in the temple job done.

Why ohh why did the police protect that scum?

Should have let the villagers sort it out.

I do not agree with or condone mob 'justice'. However in cases like this, had they have succeeded, I wouldn't have had too much of a problem with the fact...

[Get Real]

Must feel great for this father to have the knowledge of the he, as the role of a policeman and a father, was not able to even teach his own som right or wrong. Guess that man should consider a work as cleaning the streets in the morning instead.

[terminatorchiangmai]

100 police men , what a waste of time these reenactments.

 

[evadgib]

Yaba daba don't! ?

[seajae]

have to wonder just what will happen to him after seeing how many others with policeman fathers get away with what they do, thais with high so parents get away with murder as no one wants to incriminate them because they know they will be the next to suddenly die. 

[petermik]

Perhaps if a world wide news agency did a program highlighting the (in) justice system here with cases like this someone in authority here will be shamed into actually doing something positive about it....but I,m not holding my breath

did it work for the Kho Tao injustice - nah, money outweighs shame and positive outcomes.  

[leeneeds]

Being in Thailand is  sad place to be sometimes 

this crime and all who have been effected by it,

and still more in the future, to come.

Someone in authority feeling shame...not likely

I hope you don't mean that if it was for more than a pittance then he deserves something less than a bad end?

What he did was wrong and the pain expressed by the  victims' family shreds the heart. However, look at him again and ask yourself if a "bad end" will bring back the dead or make things right. He's still a child despite being 20, and aside from looking intellectually challenged, he is terrified. I expect that he panicked when discovered  and reacted based upon his pre-existing psychological deficiency. I don't doubt for a minute that he now regrets what he did. That's not an excuse, but the multiple comments on this thread clamoring for his demise are just as barbaric as what this deviant did. The kid is not all there.

 

He is now in a detention facility where he will be tormented and bullied for the next 20+ years. As a  police officer's son, he will be targeted and no amount of bribery will shield him from that. His father most likely will not help as he has caused a tremendous loss of face for  his father.

Hmm, difficult to say what will happen with this one,it is obviously shocking and high profile,the guy is obviously a physco,stabbing someone 40 times,not to mention a young boy,i would think even his Father is sickened by it,i don't think he will be getting off lightly,let's hope not. No doubt he will plead a bad spirit or something possesed him,in that case i reccomend the water test to see if it is still there like they used to do with witches in Europe,duck him under the water,if he drowns it has gone.

I think you're mistaken. It seems he did indeed teach him wrong and how to act with a sense of impumity.

You think he is terrified? How do you think that poor little 11 year old boy felt, when he was stabbed and could feel his lifes blood running away, knowing he was going to die so young? And the Grandma? Sees her grandson dead in a pool of blood and then gets stabbed 40 times? You think she wasn't terrified too? Two lives snuffed out so totally unnecessarily. Sorry bud, but this guy deserves everything that comes his way.

It will only be loss of face if found guilty, and being Thailand and connected - that's a long, long 

way off at this stage.

This a serious problem for the Thai elite and is getting worse.  Thai villagers and even many middle class city dwellers understand that they will not be treated fairly or get justice from the Thai justice system.  They are not fools.

 

You can try to keep the lid on this by postponing elections and using oppressive measures, but it will only last so long.  We have already seen that ordinary Thais will only put up with so much.  And then, typically very quickly without much warning, the kettle boils over and the authorities find, to their surprise, they have to deal with violent demonstration and even armed insurrection.

 

I think we see this over and over again because the elite in Bangkok don't really listen to or care about what happens to ordinary Thais.  They form commissions to "study" the problem, but they don't actually listen to ordinary Thais with genuine and serious grievances.  

 

Why? I think its because the Sakdina system is so ingrained in Thai culture that the elite think they know best and that the opinions of ordinary Thais don't matter.  This problem is not going away soon.

That was to make sure that the policeman's son was well protected. I doubt if an average Joe would have got that kind of protection.

[tifino]

Law of the jungle.....

 

it's a fair cop

[Kerryd]

Maybe he will "mysteriously" disappear while out on bail, and then be seen partying in Singapore with the Red Bull heir that they still can't extradite.

They haven't been able to get Thaksin back. Or Yingluck. Or that monk who took off with all that money. Or the Red Bull heir. 

 

It seems the easiest thing to do is just flee the country and the police will be powerless to get you back to face the charges.

They didn't flee, they left with a wink and a nod........ 

No point in expanding this notion as it would be senseless...

I'm sure they would be impressed if they knew. 

[Megasin1]

I just don't get any of this, maybe I am too farang, however I just don't see what at all is gained from these ridiculous re-enactments, perhaps they could think of a better way of giving the police a 'well done' badge, perhaps they could adopt the star system. If the victims were my family I wouldn't want him anywhere near their coffins, it is definitely a strange, strange country. Their love for social media drama far outstrips their consideration of anything else. Geriatrikid, you need to really have a good long look at what you wrote, I mean Really !!!! Why don't you just release him straight away, the poor confused lad and give him a wheelbarrow full of Yabba too, you could also offer him a room at your place so you can spend hours together doing some sort of weird drug induced therapy, or you could ask the young child what he thinks....oh no, you can't!
