Daily News Thai Caption: Cult leaders arrested

 

A bizarre case of cultism and fraud is emerging after the arrest of two transgender individuals in the Thai capital Bangkok.

 

Haru, 39, and Tripetchratana, 20, were arrested on warrants issued by the Taling Chan court for causing grievous bodily harm and a string of other crimes relating to illegal detention and menacing behavior. 

 

They held three former nurses and two children against their will at a luxury condo in the Rama 8 area of the city.

 

The victims were held for three years and subjected to torture like having boiling water poured on them.

 

The children were assaulted by slapping. It has been alleged that if they were not slapped hard enough it had to be done again.

 

The victims had their heads shaven. 

 

Deputy met chief Pol Maj-Gen Thiradech Thammasuthee said that the ladyboys were not Koreans as had earlier been suggested in the media. They are Thais.

They allegedly tricked their victims into believing that they were Korean and that the victims owed millions of baht. 

 

The transgenders are now being interrogated at the Bowon Mongkhon police station. 

 

In a later report Daily News said that a large number of books, drawings and religious paraphenalia had been found at the condo.

 

Haru has denied the charges except pouring boiling water on the victims. 

 

He said that he was employed by UNICEF in a research capacity in South Korea and Thailand on various projects and had studied jewelry design in the UK.

 

He claimed to have studied medicine in Korea though he had not graduated and further claimed to have been a doctor's assistant at Chula in the pandemic.

Police have discovered that he was charged with fraud in Thonburi in 2019 and Thong Lo in 2014 and has changed his name 9 times.

 

Tripetchratana has admitted guilt on all charges but blamed Haru for telling him what to do.

 

He astonished police by describing how he was ordered to get money from the victims' friends and family.

 

He said that the adult victims were ordered to assault the children and if it was not done to Haru's liking it was repeated. 

 

He claimed to have been attacked by the nurses originally.

 

Investigations into the case continue.

you couldn't make that up, well S. King might get close

Weirdo's! ????

[ThailandRyan]

Movie rights to be auctioned off at a date to be determined.  I am sure there already is a movie or story about this somewhere.  Thailand where life truly imitates art and they believe it as fact....sad.  I hope the victims get the mental health evaluation and assistance they will be needing.  

[RandolphGB]

Seems like there's more to this story. Three years seems a long time to keep five people inside a condo while torturing them. 

 

Let's hope these men are brought to justice.

 

[realfunster]

Wow - hard to keep up with that story. Disgusting, frightening and full of tangential non-sequitors..the main protagonist appears to be delusional based on all the various jobs/studies they claim to have undertaken. 

[Liverpool Lou]

'Kin LBs.

[sammieuk1]

So they were homegrown Thai ladyboys and extortionists that astonished police by describing how he was ordered to get money from the victims' friends and family..

Now I'm astonished to how that is possible they sound more like the police than the police????

Evil. Execution is too good for these weirdo types. 

[Tarteso]

 Rotten minds.

Yeah, but prison on the other hand may well be oddly attractive to them

[Trevor Collins]

Did no-one notice the adult nurses went missing for three years? No missing persons report?

[shackleton]

You could not make this up 

How did they get away with it for 3 years ????

But in prison their chuckle muscle will get worn out and splutter all the time. 

[Confuscious]

Too weird to believe everything in this story.

3 nurses held in a codominium for 3 years and nobody noticed anything?
Pouring hot water on them?
Without screaming?
Beating children without a scream?

There is more to this story ...

Anyhow, very dim chance that the perpetrators will ever see a jail from the inside.
Remember the girl who was poured hot water over her body when she went to the police for help?
AFAIK, nobody spend 1 day in jail.

[rwill]

Any chance it is the same condo another poster was complaining about his neighbors doing drugs, making noise, etc...

Not if it is painfully slow execution.   Perhaps the boiling water treatment should be applied first!

My research is telling me that transgender is an adjective and its use as a noun is regarded as pejorative and offensive.

[BumGun]

Well, that was a wide ride of a read !

[owl sees all]

 

What a strange story!

So why didn't the families and friends report this to police?
