Khwanchai Iamchaeng, a 20-year-old woman from Thailand, has been sentenced to life in prison in Sweden for the murder of a 17-year-old boy. The crime involved luring the victim to a tram stop under the guise of purchasing his headphones, only for him to be fatally shot.

 

Despite initially being acquitted in district court due to lack of evidence, Iamchaeng's conviction was ultimately secured in the Göta Court of Appeal. This decision marks her as Sweden’s first female gang shooter to receive a life sentence, highlighting the severity with which the court regarded her involvement.

 

The murder took place in Norrköping, a city currently entangled in gang conflicts. Iamchaeng was linked to the shooting despite limited direct evidence, as the court concluded that no reasonable alternative explanation for the murder existed. Ann Ganelind, the court's presiding judge, emphasised this point, stating that the close proximity at which the crime occurred left little doubt about Iamchaeng's involvement.

 

The victim was reportedly listed on a "hit list" within the violent gang disputes in Norrköping, specifically between the Kalo network and another rival group from Marielund. This ongoing feud involves "enemy" lists that have resulted in multiple acts of violence.

 

Originally from Gävle, Iamchaeng alleged she was coerced into various activities upon her arrival in Norrköping. She maintained that her intention was to buy headphones when the shooting incident transpired unexpectedly, leading her to flee.

 

In addition to life imprisonment for murder, Iamchaeng has been convicted of attempted murder and serious weapons offences. Her case underscores the escalating gang violence in Sweden and the subsequent legal ramifications for those involved. The verdict serves as a significant development in addressing gang-related crimes within the country, reported Expressen, Sweden.

Would it not be interesting to learn how this young woman got to be is Sweden in order to be involved in such a depraved and vicious  environment?

Too young to be on the game in TH but more likely some obese punter took her mom back and she followed and started running with local immigrant trash.

Interesting. According to an acquaintance, the migrant violence has been rampant for a while already.

Sentence for life does not mean much in Sweden. If she keeps on putting her make on every day and batting her eyelashes she will be out after some years. She would only have to be worried when she gets sent home to Thailand to finish her sentence. Now that would be not as nice as the Prisonhotels in Sweden.

A friends former Filipina GF ended up hooking up with a Canadian man and emigrated along with her 14 year old son to the Vancover area.  Three years later he was convicted of manslaughter in an Asian gang related killing.   It's a sad fact that kids dumped into a place where they don't fit in often find gangs the only place where they find acceptance.

Was there much of this before mass Muslim immigration? 

 

I don't recall there being many Swedish gangland murders in the news in the 60's and 70's.

It does sound like the legal system did want to make an example out of her.  Life in a Swedish prison will be better than Thailand but it's still not great at the age of 20 and looking at a number of your prime years being locked up.

No religion was mentioned in the post, it's possible she is Muslim if from the south, but I would be surprised.

Probably not Muslim as she is from Nakhon Sawan according to her Facebook page.

Thailand receives first (1st) place. 

Well done Thailand 👍

 

I reckon in 15 years or so, when she gets out she'll be a candidate for a bar girl job at one of the 'old duck' bars on Soi Pothole. 

 

It would be fun and interesting drinking a few beers and listening to her many stories.

"Since the 2000s, street gangs in predominantly immigrant suburbs of large cities have become more involved in organized crime including shootings and bombings, with 80% of shootings in Sweden occurring in a “criminal environment” mostly in disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (2022). As the financial stakes have risen, so have the disputes between gangs.^[1]"

 

^{so according to your source, you just confirmed his post.}

if she was a Muslim, she would be wearing a head covering like most Muslim Thai women from the southern provinces.

these are not migrants. A migrant moves within their own country or across international borders, often for work or temporary situations. 

These are immigrants who moves to another country intending to settle there permanently.

[Woke to Sounds]

A most despicable creature. Too bad she won't rot in prison. It's those damned drugs again! C'mon Sweden, get off the woke bandwagon already.

Not surprising, I'd say she's been receiving training from her, now retired 'bar girl' mother.

why do you assume that the punter was obese?  What would his BMI have to do with anything?

everything seems to "underscore" something these days ( according to AI)   and that which doesn't underscore inevitably  "highlights"  

I would have thought the" power" of AI would be such that we wouldn't have to read the same phrases over and over again

I can't speak for others but I find these AI generated articles rather annoying

Perhaps you could benefit from your own posted link and info.

Excerpt: "Since the 2000s, street gangs in predominantly immigrant suburbs of large cities have become more involved in organized crime including shootings and bombings, with 80% of shootings in Sweden occurring in a “criminal environment” mostly in disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods according".

And try using this silly reference to racism again....

Nothing to do with 'race', it is about religion and culture.

And one must understand the distinction between 'Arab Muslims', and 'Asian Muslims, the latter being in no way in the same terms of level of violence, terrorism, and gang crimes as the Arab Muslims.
