Somkid Pumpuang, the serial killer dubbed ‘Thailand’s Jack The Ripper’ was arrested at 10.30am on Wednesday morning, Thai media reported.

 

The 55 year old was travelling by train from Surin to Bangkok when he was apprehended at  Pak Chong train station. Police said he was found to be in possession of a knife.

 

Somkid was released from prison in May having been pardoned for good behaviour. He had previously served 14 years in jail for killing 5 women he met in karaoke bars throughout north and northeast Thailand.

 

Somkid had been the subject of a large scale manhunt since Sunday after police found the body of a woman at a property in Khon Kaen. She had been murdered and her ankles had been bound with a mobile phone charger cable. 

 

A video shared by Sanook News purportedly showed Somkid sleeping on a train just moments before his arrest.

This guy previously killed 5 women as a serial killer, and 14 years later he is let out for good behavior and then he murders again?!!!!!! It's to insane to be believed!

 

Everyone involved in the decision to let this man out of jail should share the cell along with him.

You snooze, you lose. Reminds me of the UK's latest London Bridge jihadist who was dispatched permanently this time.

They should change his nickname til Ted Bundy, he was in and out og jail and managed to keep on killing for several years.

The police on Wednesday nabbed Somkid Pumpuang, the prime suspect in the murder of a 51-year-old woman at a Khon Kaen residence.

 

He was reportedly arrested at Pak Chong train station in Nakhon Ratchasima province while travelling from Surin to Bangkok.

 

Somkid, dubbed as Thailand’s Jack the Ripper, was originally given the death sentence for murdering five people, but this was later commuted to life in prison. He was jailed on June 29, 2005, and served just under 14 years before being released on May 27 this year for good behaviour.

"He'd previously served 14 years for killing 5 people" so just under 3 years for each murder? Why the hell was he not hung or shot for killing 5 people? Only in Thailand.

I don't think Bundy was ever let out of jail. He did escape a couple of times while out for a hearing. 

PM should review this. Anymore to come ? Don’t say sorry again. Pity the innocence

He murders 5 women and gets out in 14 years yet they sentenced a young falang to 50 years for selling ecstasy tablets.

 

Amazing Thailand.

Releasing a monster like this is just unbelievable!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm still stunned that a serial killer was let out of jail....

No not only in Thailand. Too many liberal countries with bleeding heart citizens that say  "oh the death penalty doesn't deter "or It's barbaric"  I say I don't care if it deters anyone from killing  I just know that the slimeball that commits murder will never do it again.

Yes, the society on the outside of the walls is not a suitable place for rehabilitation of serial killers ...

It's the same anywhere. Two many liberals around who plead on behalf of criminals who couldn't give a rat's fart about them or anyone else. The recent killings on London Bridge is a classic example, with do-gooders trying to 'rehabilitate' terrorists whose only aim in life is to kill as many innocent people as possible who don't agree with their ideology. Some people simply live in a different world and it's pointless trying to build a bridge from it, be they terrorists or simply murderers like this piece of excrement.
