webfact Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 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 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. 21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in cases like this, had they have succeeded, I wouldn't have had too much of a problem with the fact... 18 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Murdering a boy and a grannie for a pittance, he deserves 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko kok prong Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Megasin1 Posted August 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2018 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! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
