For those who are condemning the parents for poor parenting, they may very well have had strong suspicion about what she was up to (tats, attire, make up), but as someone who has lived in a village for many years, these "working girls" rarely openly announce when they return home that they are engaged in prostitution, particularly to their parents. There's a lot of vague euphemisms to conceal exactly where they are working (Chonburi rather than Pattaya) and what kind of work they are engaged in (restaurant, hotel, karaoke singer rather than beer bar, etc.) For those who think stuffing the body in a suitcase makes this a crime worthy of the death penalty, please tell me how you would get a dead body out of your condo, if things got out of hand and someone died. There's was a French case about 5 years ago where a guy named Jonathann Duval killed his wife at home, took the body out to a wooded area, set it on fire, and then went through this months long charade pretending that she must have been abducted while out jogging. He participated in all these vigils and community searches for her, and frequently ate dinner with his in-laws right up until the evidence pointing to him became so overwhelming that he finally confessed. All of France was up in arms because he had misled everyone, and acted like he was a total monster, but I kept saying to myself 'What choice did he have?' It was either confess or keep up the charade. Same situation here. Once the murder occurred, and unless you are prepared to confess, you're gonna do whatever it takes to avoid detection. What's going to determine the penalty is what lead up to the murder and the motive, not so much what steps he took to conceal the crime after it occurred.
