Eakkapop Thongtub

PHUKET: -- A one-year-old boy died on Saturday morning (September 28) in Thalang Hospital after a severe beating the previous evening, probably by a relative.

The little boy, who has not been named, was taken to the hospital on Friday night, unconscious and with bruises all over his body. He was given emergency treatment and put on oxygen before being transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital. He died there the following morning at 8:30.

Police were called in and an autopsy was performed that revealed the child had been beaten so hard that his liver and other internal organs were ruptured.

Pol Lt Col Prakob Boonkuan of Tah Chat Chai Police Station said, “The boy was living with relatives on his father’s side in Thalang because his parents were divorced.

“Our investigation team is trying to find who beat the child, but the relatives are not cooperating at all.”

The child’s body was sent to the forensic laboratory in Surat Thani to pin down the exact cause of death.

This is disgusting. The death penalty is too good for people who harm children. Let's see some proper justice done here please.

I belong to the hang high brigade in this case.

Throw the entire lot of them in jail in solitary confinement until they start talking. The beater is pond scum and the people protecting this person are the same.

If they are not talking it indicates culpability on their part or possibly fear but yeah book the lot of them, lock them up & surely one of them will soon talk. You would think this is one type of crime the police would at least care about. The report sounds like it was not just from an accidental fall but very deliberate.

Very, very sad. RIP.

Ya think?!

What on earth could a 1 yr old kid do to make any one angry enough to beat them to death. A slow death is to good for the person they should be left alone with a group of angry ladies to tear him apart...

This must be one scummy family.

There is a 50% chance that one member of the family will conveniently "commit suicide" in the next couple of days. It's called dealing with the matter in-house.

Whenever things like this happen, I lose my faith in humanity in general.

RIP little unnamed baby boy.

May the culprit and any family members protecting him/her suffer in hell for eternity.

[tragickingdom]

Wow, are the relatives rich and powerful? Normally the Thai police beat the crap out of suspects and now no arrests because they do not cooperate. Welcome to amazing Thailand.

Sick! So they don't want to cooperate? No problem, throw all of them in jail until one talks.

[Suffinator]

Vile - lock the lot of them up. Just read this on meebal.com. http://meebal.com/one-year-old-boy-beaten-to-death/ Makes you wonder what kind of animal could do such a thing.

[Businessman]

Simply horrible. RIP sweet innocent soul, you did not deserve this.

"A slow death is to good for the person they should be left alone with a group of angry ladies to tear him apart..."

... tear HIM apart? Already decided it was a male member of the family?

The boy was living with relatives on his fathers side in Thalang because his parents were divorced.

[Alwyn]

sickening... <deleted> is wrong with some people.. Fair justice would be to beat them to death in the same manner or even better, get the girl from "I spit on your grave" to the deed

[arminbkk]

What relative would protect a person like that?

Sad.

[unanimosity]

Seems pretty obvious when nobody will talk that the person that did it handles the purse strings.

[pacovl46]

Oh, you don't want to cooperate? No problem! How does 25 years in a Siberian hard-labor camp (i.e. crushing rocks with a sledgehammer 10 hours every day with only 2 meals per day) for each of you despicable ^%&*& sound?!

yes it should of said person again not him slip of the keyboard. i don't know the whole story not blaming anyone in particular he could of ran out side and got ran over. who's knows i don't.

BUT every time i look at my kids i just can't understand how some one could do that.... him or her male or female who ever did it is a monster..

[Halion]

What kind of person could inflict this on such a young child ? Perhaps they should be dealt with in a similar manner. Oh, !! for a moment I forgot that we are living in a civilized society. !!. I truly hope that they roast in hell.

[Joe Mamma]

Totally unacceptable!

[Andre0720]

Caning. Caning every day might be reasonable.

When this person finds it is no longer reasonable, would surely volunteer to put an end to his (or her) own life.
