Who ever he is, he is hiding now maybe across a border and someone will know him, uping the reward is the best way to catch this scumbag, I still think the BIB will get him. He'll be nearby, probably still in Lopburi and be in custody or shot by Monday. Tuesday at the latest. The police are pulling out all the stops on this one, and rightly so.

'Sicko' isn't a good word IMO. He just wanted to do a job effectively - just as we see happening in military conflicts followed by the Military covering up their child murders... as was the case with the SAS (and they're certainly not different to other special forces from other countries) asking unarmed boys having tea to put up their hands and then shoot them in the face for fun... Maybe he was just a well trained soldier following his training to get some personal gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still many cases even with DNA evidence that are not the 100% certainties that you refer to. Though I agree that the science is exceptional, such evidence can still be fabricated and a clever lawyer can still get the guilty off by proving that strict procedural rules were not followed.

Obviously doesn't work. There were 520 inmates on death row in 2018. But in this case, when they get this guy, they should give him a queue jump ticket straight to the front of the queue!

Moo 2 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Murdering (sorry "executing") a killer is pure revenge, giving a life sentence is punishment. No one has the right to take someone's life regardless of title or rank. In some religions criminals think they'll come back in different forms.... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Samui Bodoh Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Whether or not a society has the Death Penalty is up to it; I am personally against it. However, if you have the Death Penalty, you must have three things; There must be honest, or at minimum relatively honest, capable and intelligent police officers and/or detectives. There must be highly trained, capable support staff at all levels of any criminal proceeding. These include adequate clerks to maintain evidence, highly qualified Coroners/Pathologists, highly qualified investigators and/or technicians for evidence collection, Crime Scene Investigators, Court Reporters, Bailiffs, etc etc, etc. There must be a respected, highly qualified Judiciary filled with some of the proverbial 'Best and Brightest' that a country has to offer. A question to all; Does Thailand meet these three simple tests that I have outlined above? Does Thailand have honest, good cops? Does Thailand have well-qualified support staff at every level of the Justice system? Does Thailand have well-qualified, independent and trustworthy judges? If the answer is 'No' to any of my questions above, then the Death Penalty should not be used here. The Death Penalty should not be used here. Period. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupermarineS6B Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Some years ago i remember an incident where a Thai Ya Baa krak head took a young child hostage with a knife to the childs throat while the Police and public tried to calm him down. Unfortunately the krak head completely lost the plot and cut the childs throat, the Police feeling the mood of the mob and probably feeling the same way just walked away and let the crowd deal with him.......... I don't think there was much left of him when they'd finished, and rightly so. Personally i think this guy should be caught and in Middle eastern fashion tied to a post whilst the family members all take a shot at him, maybe even sell a few tickets to the public as well....... Truly an animal that needs to be caught and killed........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack P Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The death penalty has sent innocents to death, it ought to require absolutely overwhelming evidence from a number of sources before it’s even considered. A better approach is to outlaw serious criminals so that society no longer provides them any legal recognition and no need to jail them at societies expense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you derive pleasure from such an act? The history of this country is such that more often than not an innocent person is stitched up. Do you recall the case of the rape & murder of the two kids and how "Burmese" were blamed and convicted? If you were given the opportunity to torture someone, would you do it? You know peeling the flesh off or pulling fingernails, or cutting open the body and pulling out organs etc. I find such things repugnant as do other emotionally stable normal people. Why don't you take some time to think over your request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it it acts as a money saving device so society doesn't have to pay for a lifetime of imprisonment but even then, appeal after appeal usual means a significant amount of time still spent in prison at taxpayers expense. There's also the sticky issue of people being found innocent after being initially found guilty (advances in DNA profiling has proven many, many previous guilty people innocent). You can't free a dead person. Since the death penalty is nothing more than public backed revenge, personally I think that 'life means life' is a much better option. A lifetime of incarceration has got to be worse than a quick painless death and obviously there is still a chance of exoneration if the evidence shows up. As it was mentioned Thailand is on the same level as China and US in terms of death penalty. To live for decades in a prison however is more punishment than a fast death.

Some individuals, by their own actions, forfeit the right to exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
