Thai woman who attacked students at Bangkok school in 2005 murders little girl after release, says Thai media

A Thai woman called Jitrada who once attacked four students at Bangkok's prestigious St Joseph's Convent school 15 years ago has now reportedly murdered a five year old girl after she was released from a psychiatric hospital. 

 

A Nakhon Pathom news site on Facebook reported that the five year old was taken to hospital after she was stabbed in the abdomen by the landlord's daughter at a rental property. A fruit paring knife was used. The woman was aged 49 or 50. 

 

The child was rushed to hospital at Huay Phlu and in the course of being transferred to Soon Nakhon Pathom Hospital she unexpectedly stopped breathing and was taken to Nakhon Chaisri hospital that was the nearest. She was soon pronounced dead before she reached Soon Nahon Pathom. 

 

Sanook said that a large amount of Thai media was reporting that the assailant was Jitrada, 50, who fled the scene. She later gave herself up to Nakhon Chaisri police in an absent minded state and promptly fainted. 

 

Sanook said that Jitrada is a schizophrenic who stabbed four children at St Joseph's Convent in the Silom area of Bangkok on September 9th 2005.

 

The random attack shocked and terrified parents and the wider public at the time, notes Thaivisa, and led to far greater security at schools to combat such incidents. 

 

Sanook said that Jitrada was given an eight year sentence that was reduced to four years as she cooperated with the inquiry. She was not released after serving her four years, however,  as the court ordered her held at at the Galya Rajanagarindra psychiatric hospital. 

 

But she was allowed to go home from there in 2013. 

 

Now, it appears she has murdered a little child.

RIP little one..... wonder what the judge or any other official who ordered her release feels right now, hope the little girl was not one of any of these officials relatives

[steven100]

nutcase should have been locked up for life if she was a danger to the public.

[kevin612]

thai laws are not strict enough, death penalty please. A lot of bank robberies and 711 robberies lately.

[PJPom]

Before anyone starts blaming Thailand for not looking after mentally ill criminals look at any western country. It seems to be the norm that Lawyers plead mental impairment in mitigation for any crime and sadly these pleas are often successful with derisory sentences being handed down. The result is that many make miraculous recoveries and are let loose on society in an amazingly short time, free to offend again.

The closing of mental asylums due to human rights may not have been a very good idea .

They are very strict on other bs tho.... maybe but only maybe they should set their priorities differently.

She was locked up in prison and then served time in a mental hospital. She was released 7 years ago.

 

Maybe your qualifications out rank those of the doctors, legal professionals, and experts who would have decided this? Or is your PhD in hindsight?

No it was a very bad idea - driven by the new wave academics that infested the psychiatric industry in the 80s.

In the past it was true that some people were locked away longer than they should have been locked away.

But that was a price society had accepted for many decades - centuries - better safe than sorry - nutters are a risk.

Now yet another person/child has lost their life because a nutter was released - there has been many thousands in the world.

One day - the decision is going to be made (again) that locking some people up for life/decades in worth it, even if it is wrong, because the opposite reality of some people losing their life is unacceptable.

One loses their freedoms/rights and one loses their life - there is no comparison - and that will one day be realised (again).

Your understanding of mental health, treatment, etc is only surpassed by your expressed knowledge of risk management.

 

What proportion of those treated for mental health issue crimes and late released re-offend? Or commit more serious offences?

I know a lot more than most.  And I also know the academic mindset that wants numbers and stats.

Answer the question - one person locked away, or one person loses their life - chose which one.

Girl allegedly stabbed to death by woman with mental illness

By The Nation

 

 

A woman who had stabbed four Saint Joseph Convent School students 15 years ago allegedly killed a four-year-old girl on March 29.

 

Nakhon Chai Si Police Station in Nakhon Pathom province was notified around 6pm of the incident that took place at a restaurant in Nakhon Chai Si province.

 

The police found a girl named Tiprada Homsuwan covered in blood along with a knife at the scene and sent her to Huai Plu Hospital but the girl passed away at the hospital.

 

Tiprada’s family told the police that a suspect came to order five dishes at the restaurant without speaking to anyone but they did not notice anything strange.

 

Later, the family heard Tiprada screaming and saw her soaked in blood in her abdomen on a bench near the restaurant.

 

Afterwards, Jitlada Tantivanitchayasuk, 51, and her family came to Nakhon Chai Si Police Station and told the officers that she had just left a mental institution a week ago.

 

Jitlada reportedly seemed to be in a trance and did not respond while being interrogated. Her family said that she had been treated for mental illness for 20 years.

 

She was previously imprisoned for eight years after stabbing four Saint Joseph Convent School students in 2005.

I hope just the opposite, why should the officials relatives get a automatic pass. I'm saying I'd just as soon see an innocent of the officials relatives stabbed than some random innocent little girl. Of course nobody stabbed is the best scenario.

Actually many criminals with assault charges are pleaded down to drug charges. So when a criminal gets a seemingly extensive sentence for drug possession its because they assaulted someone or used a weapon in a robbery. Stupid liberals that believe someone is in federal Prison for only drug possession is a moron.

It's true that lawyers often try to go for a diminished responsibility defence. And indeed they should. As it is their job to get the best outcome for their client.

 

Lawyers only intrepret the law, however, it is politicians that make the law. So if you're not happy with the fact that say women can plead "battered women's syndrome" and get off with reduced time, the blame is not with lawyers, though of course prominent female lawyers have lobbied for amending laws with such defences, it is the politicians who allow this to happen.

 

Politicians make the laws. Not lawyers. Lawyers interpret the law.

Very well put, a tragedy but it is a tragedy for the perp and her family too. 

I hope she will be in lockdown for life now.

Sadly those  with  bipolar disorders who are  not given follow up monitoring to ensure they  keep up their medication almost inevitably relapse and become potentially  dangerous.

At the incredibly  sad loss  of a small child as the cost of what  really is a social  failure perhaps it  will  give  cause to those who make clinical decisions to  ensure better  systems.

Yet few  would  understand  that at times the very graphic outcome of involuntary psychotic disorders is far outweighed by the callous damage  done  by the psychopaths who pass as "normal".

I did not mean now days,and did not mean to disparage germans,i should have said Nazi's,any offence was not intended,can't say that any country had a good record in days gone by,Thailand is woefully lagging behind on mental health treatment.

When releasing a known nut case back into the care of family they should be made responsible for their care and return them to custody if they notice a change for the worse. The responsibility and safety of others should be placed squarely on the shoulders of the family. If this is not acceptable to them then simply don’t release them. Harsh but if it saves the life of a 5yo or anyone else then it’s worth it.
