The brother-in-law (an adult?) should be two counts of first-degree murder, but proving this might be difficult.

probably because he was jealous of the mothers attention given to the kids and not him.

Shame the mother didn't suffer the same fate.

Does this add up?

Which side of the family is the alleged murderer? On the side of the drug-imprisoned biological father, or on the side of the new partner?

Am I missing something?

[Burma Bill]

Whatever the circumstances, 2 very young, innocent boys have been subjected to appalling physical abuse ending with their deaths. RIP in Paradise young lads and may your mother and "uncle" rot in hell!

Both the man and the woman are exhibiting animal dominance behaviour. In the wild when a male lion takes over a pride it kills all the cubs fathered by its predecessor and the female lions (mothers) allow it to do so. This can also occur with other mammals but is not as well documented. So, both these people are no more than animals and should be treated as such. They shouldn't be allowed in humand society and be destroyed (humanely or otherwise depending on your point of view). There have been 2 similar stories in the UK press recently so this behaviour is not confined to Thailand.

A heartless man.

RIP little ones.

Do you know the family and the full facts?

 

Why was the ex arrested and not the mother?

 

To me, on the report that I have read it is a case of she said/he said.

 

It is up to the police and the courts to decide and I don't envy them at all.

 

I certainly wouldn't want to make that choice on the strength of a newspaper report.

The second the "new man" started hurting the kids she as a mother should have protected them, instead she watched them die.. 

an innocent party or implicated, either way she is as guilty as he is.

And you know this for certain, and got the information from where?

The mother claiming some false reasons for the boys injuries, is

shameful. RIP to the poor little boys who did not get a chance to

live a long life. First degree murder for the brother in law. Period.
