Former boxer beats his mother to death after he's told not to go out on a motorcycle - all caught on CCTV

Daily News caption: The moment a mother is murdered

 

Daily News reported on a tragedy in Buriram in the north east of Thailand after a 31 year old son was caught on CCTV beating his own mother to death.

 

He has severe mental health issues and had been forbidden to ride a motorcycle.

 

The CCTV showed the moment when Prawit's aunty, 60 year old Sangwan, came out to stop him riding the bike.

 

His mother, aged 56, got involved and both ladies were pushed over in the scuffle.

 

Seeing things were taking a turn for the worse Sangwan ran off to get help.

 

Meanwhile "Wit" - utilizing a variety of weapons lying around such as a ceramic plank and a metal pipe - attacked his mother in the head and smashed her in the face.

 

He was seen getting another weapon after the first stage of the frenzied attack took place.

 

He then wrapped her head in plastic before walking off. 

 

He was soon in custody, sedated and charged with matricide - the killing of his own mother known in Thai as "matukhaat".

 

A relative who is also assistant phu yai ban said that Wit had learned Thai boxing since childhood and fought under the name of "Prawit Sit Phrakhru" - the last part of the name being the area where the murder occurred.

 

He had been conscripted into the army in Lopburi but before his discharge he attacked a trainer.

 

Since then he had suffered a series of mental problems in which he had paranoia, hallucinations and heard voices. 

 

It was suspected that he had not been taking his meds and reacted terribly to being told he couldn't use the motorcycle; relatives had feared he would hurt himself if he went out on the bike. 

 

Now he is in the custody of the Muang Buriram police.

You hear some pretty horrible stories in Thailand but this must be one of the worst. Matricide must be one of the worst crimes.

[realfunster]

Tragic case, she was just trying to take care of her boy.

 

That is, at a minimum, 2 mental illness related killings in the last fortnight. Kanchanaburi attack being the other.

 

Do you reckon it’s time for Thailand to up their game on mental health services ?

[CrunchWrapSupreme]

"Mental health" again, huh. Call a spade a spade. A person with no regard for humanity, who ought to be removed from it.

 

Seems he had enough mental health to study Muai Thai for years, then do a stint in the army though, huh?

 

Saw it on Thai Rath last night, they have no qualms about putting a full, deadly beating on national television. Didn't hear much about mental health, though I did certainly hear what one would expect, "ya ba".

Another Monster in our midst; be careful out there because we are surrounded by Mentaly sick people here !

Nice guy....wish I had a son like that. RIP mum!

[HashBrownHarry]

Stories like this are becoming alarmingly frequent - not good.

[KhunBENQ]

It's starts with non education particularly of the spoiled boy brats.

When I see a five year old boxing his grandmother when he does not get what he wants with no consequence.

Another brutal murder which is passed off by the BIB as a case of a mentally disturbed young man who, no doubt, probably needs love and compassion and hugs and should probably never need to be put in prison - heavens no - but release when he Wais and apologizes and becomes a monk for a few days.  Oh my goodness, the poor young man.  Oh my.  ????

BTW, I walked past the TV this morning and watched - aghast - as this <I don't have the word> beat and beat and beat and beat his mother's head in.

Would this have happened if he has been raised to be a real man, instead of an over grown child? 

 

Some Thai men represent an overly entitled gender here in the LOS. Boys from an early age are told they are special. What parents need to start doing is to tell their sons:

 

1. You are nothing special. You become special when you prove yourself to be a worthy person. An exemplary character. A cut above the rest. Someone who gives and does not just take.

 

2. Your sister is special. She works hard, she is ambitious, and she is not lazy. Prove yourself to be at least equal to her. Women run this country.

 

3. Respect is not freely given. It must be earned. Go out into the world and earn respect.
 
4. Make your mark on the world. And pay your own way. All Thai men should be asked to leave home by the age of 20. Unless they are severely handicapped, or have real, true, special needs.

Only thing they can do is up their game. Apparently there are 400 psychiatrists in Thailand, for a population of nearly 70 million.

Yes, so many people who think that everyone's out to get them and that no one can be trusted and thus fearful of everyone

How old are Muay Thai fighters?

 

 

 

 

Muay Thai fighters train many hours a day and often begin when they are 6-8 years of age. They typically take their first fight when they are 8-10 years old and may accumulate as many as 120-150 (3 times as many as an active boxer) before they reach their mid-twenties.

absolutely agree .....  I would haze at a guess he's a ya ba addict,   not too mental to learn Muay Thai,  not too mental to join the army,     but to mental to ride the motorbike and not heed his mums advice ....  remove him from society

According to me, it´s time for a self assessment. That does not read like a sane comment.

Has it occurred to you that his mental health may have deteriorated later in his life?

 

p.s He didn't join the army, he was conscripted.

And kicked out the army  for attacking an instructor

You might want to look into chronic traumatic encephalopathy. As the article states he had been trained in Thai boxing from a very early age. Repeated blows to the head do extreme damage to the brain and CTE can cause all sorts of behavioral and mental health problems. This guy is probably a textbook case for CTE. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not using CTE as an excuse, what he did is evil, but CTE might be the explanation and there’s no doubt in my mind that he has it!

Possibly brain damage due to fighting, being punched and kicked on the head, attacked his trainer in the army, diagnosed prob not taking meds, triggered and killed.  Possibly meds mixed with other substances, tragedy waiting to happen

Correct. Mental health is taken about as seriously as traffic safety, or honest politics. They can do better.

I have to disagree with this one.  Telling individual boys that they are trash in order to counter balance the men that are will just damage that child.  You're drifting into revenge feminism then.

 

Raise young men to believe that they are no more special than anyone else, but don't try to make them feel that they are inferior to women just because you don't like how Thai men behave generally.

 

Male or female, children are innocent.  Don't punish them for the crimes of their gender.

[rudi49jr]

Hope this sorry excuse for a man spends the rest of his life in jail.

Er doesn't it happen in every country?  I believe  the ancient Greeks wrote dramas about matricide. Or are you suggesting  tragic murder is unique to Thailand...lol

Damn @Meat Pie 47, you summoned him.

It's funny you preach this, cuz as far as I can see you would fail point 1 already ????

 

Ridiculous bashing, based on jealous and superiority complex.

 

Take a deep good look at yourself.

Second in two days. Yesterday someone killed his mother after she refused to give him 100 baht to buy drugs. We read similar over and over again, and often it is because the killer is mentally ill yet allowed to roam free on the streets to be a deadly danger to others. And if we don't read of mother killers, we read over and over again of relatives raping children. Sometimes even teachers doing it.
