Result! Instead of finding a new girlfriend, he can now look forward to be someone´s girlfriend in jail. Good Job!

Same story every day. Part of the culture. Lost face can and often does have deadly consequences in the land of smiles.

Multiple I hope...

Said this before - punishment for murder should be related to the age of the person you murder. You get a standard say 25 years sentence for the murder PLUS half the expected life expectancy left of the victim. Killing a pensioner would give you 25 years, but killing a teen would give you say 25 + an additional 30. The punishment should not just be about the death, but the the length of life lost.

Please indicate that you are not serious...

You are suggesting that killing 'you', is not as bad as killing a younger person.

Because of course, you would forgive the killer since he has taken not too many years off of your life.

So people should be invited to kill older people, as these people would somehow agree that their death was not that bad after all.

Need one hell of a lawyer......

Hehehe

So please......

Has been said before, but due diligence seems common sense,  before jumping into a relationship or affair with a fine Thai girl.

Not very well thought out.

hang on, didn't that usually bring shame on the loser of face, and then they would end themselves privately, even nobly, due to said shame and dishonour?

wait wait, I forgot it's Thailand, were Buddhism isn't Buddhism, democracy isn't democracy and losing face is stabbing your ex significant other to death...

 

Thailand is number one, in killing, and maiming Ex-partners./partners IMO. must keep it there.

Punish them every week. 20 hits with a baseball bat then knife up the bum 20 times.

 

Every week for 25 years.

Death sentence ... nobody deserves to live among us if intentionally killing someone.

 

Jail or death doesn't seem to be a deterrent, but will at least eliminate it being repeated by the same person.

You claimed his idea encourages people to kill old people.

That anyone who would want to commit a crime, which could end up in murder, to choose an older fellow, which would be at his advantage.

LOL....

 

If there were any changes in Thailand sentencing would be based on the wealth....not age of the victim.

 

The baht is revered here not sanctity of life.

LOL.  Intention is the sticking point in all murder trials.

the problem is that once in jail he'll be treated somewhat as a hero, a man who saved his faceloss... I know, this is a crooked, to simple way of thinking, but this really happens!

If you agree with this, you should take into consideration not only the killed person's age, but also their health, wealth, quality of life, marital status, social standing etc. etc. ad infinitum.

Well, certainly some of those things on your list make sense.

 

Nothing wrong with starting at 25 years then adding on more years for the destruction he caused to the victims family and so on.

 

I mean murder sentences are handed out routinely with the judge taking into account a whole variety of unique factors of the crime anyway, right? Every case is different. Some more severely punished than others

I agree, but there must not be such hard and fast rules like 25 years in jail + half of the remaining life expectancy. Every case is different, as you rightly said.

The Kathu plod are thinking if this was a premeditated murder. I would suggest carrying a knife and then following her and stabbing her to death was Premediated i.e. if he couldn't have her he made sure no one would have her so he killed her.

I hope he gets a proper kicking behind bars more than once.
