A 29 year old Thai man called King has been arrested after he abducted a 6 year old Cambodian boy and took him to various places in Bangkok to beg. 

 

The grandmother of the boy - a Cambodian lady called Samwana -  had gone to Phrakhanong police on Monday after Pao had gone missing from outside a convenience store in Sukhumvit Soi 79.

 

The suspect - who had previously served a 2 year 5 month sentence for a similar offence in Nakhon Pathom and had committed this crime on multiple occasions - was soon identified and the Krajok Ngao foundation got involved in the search. 

 

A member of the public reported seeing the pair begging at the Victory Monument but the authorities were not in time.

Then on Wednesday they were spotted on a pedestrian bridge at Sukhumvit Soi 18 but again had left before officials arrived.

 

Finally they got a report of them begging at Imperial World, Samrong, where an arrest was made and the boy was taken into care. 

 

A plastic cup and two ten baht coins were taken into evidence, reported INN.

No more stretching. ???????????? This power was terminated in England, Scotland, and Wales by the Criminal Justice Act of 1948, although corporal punishment for mutiny, incitement to mutiny, and gross personal violence to an officer of a prison when committed by a male person was permitted in England and Wales until 1967.

There was the Death sentence for high treason until 1998 in the UK now max sentence is life. Probably why there has not been a coup there, if you get my drift.
