Mother admits drowning her three-year-old son in Ayutthaya

By The Nation

 

 

A Nonthaburi mother on Friday confessed to drowning her three-year-old son in a small pond in Ayutthaya out of frustration because she had not been drunk for days, police said.

 

Rungthip Yothikar, 34, admitted on Friday afternoon that she killed her son after she was questioned by police on Thursday night.

 

The boy's body was found floating on a small pond in a field of tall grass beside a railway track in Ayutthaya's Phachi district on Thursday.

 

The woman's relatives in Nonthaburi sought help from Pachi police to search for the boy after Rungthip left home with him on October 14 and returned home on Tuesday without her son.

 

She claimed that she left home without her son but her relatives saw her leaving home with the boy.

 

Police said that after questioning, Rungthip admitted she took her son to the spot and drowned him out of frustration because she had not been drunk for days. She said she was an alcoholic.

30 years in jail where there isn't any alcohol should cure her of that.

And she deserves every minute of it for such a horrendous act.

RIP little fella.

I've read some horrendous stories on here in the past, but this is one of the worst.

A tragedy for a young life.

Alcohol made me do it...ah the old excuses are the best.

 

She may well be an alcoholic but regarding this type of crime, psychopath might be a better description.

The horrific murder of this innocent boy exposes once again how vulnerable children are in this country.This is not the first time this has happened and wont be the last .The system here has to act swiftly to punish the guilty and ensure that children will be protected . 

 

"Gone Too Soon"

 

 

Really the confession would have sounded better ,more

believable if she had said she had been drunk for days,

anyway the kid had the wrong mother,died for nothing.

RIP,

regards worgeordie

words fail me. RIP

An animal!

Although she did say that it was the lack of alcohol that made her do it

It’s still using alcohol as an excuse...

Unfortunately it isn't limited to Thailand. My friend's great grand son, 13mths old, was drowned in the bathtub last month in suspicious circumstances...... Minority group parents with drug issues, in a supposedly first world country.

This is just a minor sidebar story in Thailand that will soon be forgotten about.

 

If this was in a normal country this would be headline news for months and the story would stay in people’s conscience for years.

 

I very often wonder what the hell I am doing here now I have a family. 

Better think twice when asked 'buy me a drink or else'.

Female infanticide is an every day occurrence in India where they are unwanted commodities and a burden on the family.just because Thailand has shiny cars and skyscrapers does change it from being a 3rd world country.evil bitch deserves more than what she's going to get.shes probably got an IQ of a monkey.i would actually like to smash her in the face.sub human thing.

<deleted>, the poor little boy, trying to call out for this woman/mum during the last minutes of his life.

People always alchohol, but in some people it just brings out the worst. 

A few years ago she had another child people found dead at four-month-old, but no one knew what the cause of the death, so the case was closed.

She chose to kill the child. 

 

Alcohol didn’t make her do it.

Just 3 years old, R.I.P. little one.

If she is in jail for 30 years the population in jail should be less then when she came in if she drowns 1 person every few day because of not drinking 

Disgusting, utterly disgusting.

What do you mean by “minority group parents”?

 

And if, as I suspect, you are referring to ethnicity, why is that significant?

Why the mention of "minority group"? What's that have to do with it?

I guess this poor little boy did not have Grand parents who could have

taken him off this alcoholics hands. RIP. Hope the mothers bad karma

gets to her soon.

I was bored and looking for a political correctness advocate to argue with on my day off. 

 

In this case, the fact that this group of people are struggling has everything to do with it. I am good friends of the family and can tell you that they've no qualms in frankly discussing the social problems in their community - they don't mind calling 'a spade a spade' even though they come from the same tool shed.

Not just in this country! I would quote you some examples of similar despicable occurrences that happen in first world countries but then I would get told that this thread is not about XX X country.

How terribly sad. What went through that poor child's mind as he was being drowned by his "mother".?
