Laotian murder suspect admits to slashing the throats of three victims and a cat

 

 

A Laotian migrant worker has confessed to a gruesome murder of a 67-year old woman and her 12-year-old grand-daughter  in Samut Prakarn after he was arrested while waiting for a ferry in Muk Daharn province to across the Mekong River to Laos, police reported on Monday.

 

The suspect, identified as Pula, 22, who was arrested on Sunday night, admitted that he used a knife to slash their victims’ throats in a robbery attempt.  He was quoted by police as saying that he took one meth pill before sneaking into the victim’s house. 

 

A third victim, another grand-daughter of the elderly victim, was also seriously injured.

Having thoroughly read the whole article, still don't get the point of killing her. The woman and the girls could possibly confront or report the intruder, but the cat? Utter cruelty...

Give him the death penalty.

I wish we could end this stupid 'RIP' nonsense.  They are dead, they aren't resting.  They don't have some way of hearing your RIP sentiment and then acting upon it.  They are either reduced to cinders or rotting in earth.

 

Please can we say something sensible and of this world, perhaps like, "I hope they did not suffer too much, and that their families find the strength to continue".

It’s for people to post how they feel not how you want them to post.

Sometimes I do wish murderers could be executed in the same manner in which they committed their crime and with the same degree of cruelty.

That's just it though, they aren't posting what they feel, they're lazily posting what everybody else is posting - what society teaches them to post.  If posters are going to throw around words like respect and compassion then they should at least engage their brain and think of something original.  If I weren't already dead, I'd dread the day I died an unusual death and a bunch of people I didn't know wrote 'RIP' on a forum.

So you are no better than them.  In order to advance civilisation we have to strive to be better and more moralistic than everyone else.  That's the only way to utopia.  One weak link brings the whole thing crashing down.

I really don't see that civilization has advanced that much over criminality, both civil and political, in the last hundred years or so by dispensing with vengeful retribution. 

Maybe we really should give it a new look.

 

Honestly, I gave up on the Utopia thing around the time of the Vietnam war when the US burned villages to save them from the commies. 

As for self proclaimed moralistic societies, I find they define their concept on what is and what is not moral by what it is they want to acquire and control and he means by which they intend to do it.

It's a bit stupid to blur his face on this thread but not the other one.

Both  'RIP' and  "I hope they did not suffer too much, and that their families find the strength to continue", are ways to show compassion for the victims, including their relatives.

'RIP' is the short way to show compassion, personally, even if i didn't know the victims, these kind of news, specially when little children are the victims, make me so sad that, more often than not, i have no words at all.

Try Saudi Arabia or Islamic State - those places might satisfy your blood-lust.

Yes, it's well recorded in history that psychopaths and serial killers often practice on animals too.

Why? You'd be dead so it wouldn't matter a fig. Rest in peace is an ancient phrase, paying respect to the deceased and those who they've left behind. The phrase contains no personal pronouns and suggests that the individual who was suffering is now free from that suffering. Although it's mostly associated with Christianity it would seem compatible with any number of religious beliefs, Eastern or Western. and I don't even see how an atheist could object.
