snoop1130 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Thai suspect in Koh Si Chang rape and murder case re-enacts his alleged crime By The Nation A 24-year-old Thai, charged over the rape and murder of a 27-year-old female German tourist on Chon Buri’s Koh Si Chang, was brought by police on Tuesday to re-enact a horrific crime that has shaken public morale on the popular island. Ronnakorn Romruen, a resident of the island’s Moo 2 village who was swiftly arrested after the tourist’s body was found with a broken neck and serious wounds to her face and head on Sunday evening, confessed to the crime and the re-enactment had gone well, Chon Buri deputy superintendent Pol Colonel Sakrapee Priewpanich said. The man reportedly confessed that he had seen the victim, whom he described as “a good-looking woman travelling alone”, and become sexually aroused after taking illicit drugs. He followed the woman and later killed her by hitting her with a rock after raping her, in order to prevent her reporting the attack, he reportedly told police. Police charged Ronnakorn with premeditated murder, rape and hiding a body to conceal the crime. Ronnakorn was escorted by 40 police officers to perform the re-enactment at 10am, while many onlookers expressed their disgust at his alleged acts. He showed police five spots related to the crime, the first being where he had parked his motorcycle to buy flowers and followed the victim to the hilltop site where the flag of King Rama V is mounted. The second spot was where he had allegedly raped the woman and forced her to perform oral sex, which had given her the opportunity to flee down the stairway. The third location was where the victim had fallen, and the suspect had reportedly attacked her with a rock until she died. The fourth spot was where he had supposedly hidden her body under a pile of rocks near a stairway leading to the hilltop. The final location was a flower stall, where a witness had asked why his shirt was bloodstained. He had brushed aside the question and quickly fled the scene, according to police. The victim, who entered Thailand late last month and was lodging in Pattaya, had visited Koh Si Chang at noon on Sunday. Ahead of police bringing Ronnakorn to appear before Chon Buri Provincial Court to apply for his first 12-day detention, his mother Nonglak Phosaeng, 43, took some clothes for her son to Koh Si Chang police station and made a tearful apology to the public over his alleged crime. She said her son, who lived alone in a separate rented house, was single and made a living as a part-time garbage collector. She had today told Ronnakarn – “a quiet man who kept himself to himself listening to music and watching movies”, and whom she could not imagine committing such a horrible crime – to accept the punishment for what he had apparently done. A local food vendor said the rape and murder had affected the island’s tourism as many foreign visitors had left following the news. “This crime has shaken public morale. I’ve never seen such a horrible crime on Koh Si Chang in the past 37 years,” she said, urging Thai and foreign tourists to visit the island again. A Thai female tourist said the case had saddened her and would make her more cautious while travelling.

nickstav Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 A horrible and sad crime, but this could have happened in any number of countries to a young lady traveling alone (including my own home country). Sad but true. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwak250 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 They always wonder why all other countries are so behind and how can they tell who was the culprit without the finger pointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonhia Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Didn't that low life demented scum, a poor excuse for a human, confess to the terrible act of beating, raping and murdering a poor defenseless women, a tourist, who probly thought she was in the land of smiles and paradise... Why is he a suspect! Next it will be a slap on the wrist. Go make merit. Go back to mummy and whiskey. You are forgiven. Dont worry we will brush this under the carpet as we always do when it comes to farang being murdered. What was the report few weeks ago, put out by the Thai tourist authority, claiming to the world that Thailand is a safe place! How about the very recent beating of a tourist, in front of his children who were also injured, by low life Thai motorbike taxi drivers in Patong! Thailand safe!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen65 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 this "re-enactment " of crimes , especially like these particularly gruesome crimes and then publicising it are quite distasteful , un-needed and make a mockery of the way crimes are handled here . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it, then! Six months for the rape and murder, 20 years for affecting tourism, lowering the dai!y takings of food vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have chewed his dick off and made the man scream his head off... running gave him the opportunity to follow and carry out his crime which was her death... Never seen a man run far with his dick in shreds ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The only news I am waiting for is he will get the death penalty or at least spend the rest of his days in a rotten prison. My mind tells me he will get away with a light sentence , but I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 16 hours ago, Humpy said: He's admitted the crime so why the re-enactment ? In countries with proper police forces reenactments are a way of jogging potential witnesses memories and they don't use real suspects. In Thailand it helps the police in getting their faces in the media! It's time the practice were outlawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
