DNA tests will see if the remains found in Loei belong to missing 4 year old girl.

BANGKOK: -- POLICE HAVE found several bones at an uninhabited spot in Loei where a confessed serial rapist and murderer allegedly attacked and strangled a girl earlier this year.

DNA tests will be conducted to determine if the bones belonged to a 4-year-old girl who went missing on February 5.

The search for the bones in Loei began earlier this week after a man, known only as Nui, was arrested for allegedly raping and killing a 6-year-old girl in Bangkok on December 6.

He has pleaded guilty.

Police allege he told them he had committed many other crimes, including two in Loei.

Since then, police have checked records of missing children in the province. Two cases are very likely linked to Nui, one involving the 4-year-old girl who went missing during a festival, and the other involving a 7-year-old boy who disappeared at a merit-making event inside the compound of a local temple on November 10.

Loei police chief Maj-General Sakda Wongsiriyanont said searchers had scoured area where the boy had gone missing since Tuesday.

About 150 police and rescue workers conducted a further search yesterday and found the T-shirt the boy was wearing on the day he disappeared. The boy's mother and grandmother burst into tears upon seeing the shirt. Nui has continued insisting that he molested the boy but did not kill him.

The Office of Forensic Science yesterday confirmed that DNA tests on a human skull found in Bangkok's Soi La Salle belonged to the 6-year-old girl whom Nui said he raped and strangled on the night of December 6.

Pol Lt-General Jarumporn Suramanee, adviser to the National Police Office, said the DNA tests on the bones discovered in Loei would take more time.

Meanwhile, Galya Rajanagarindra Institute's director Taweesilp Visanuyothin has suggested that Nui might be suffering from an anti-social personality disorder and deviant sexual preferences, but not mental disorder.

"He must have been fully conscious of his actions while committing the crimes," Taweesilp said. He said his analysis was based on available information, not detailed examination yet.

"Police have not yet contacted us to arrange the suspect's examination," Taweesilp said.

His institute is one of the country's key psychiatric facilities.

Sorasit Jongjarern, chief of Bangkok Remand Prison, said experts would be invited to determine the state of Nui's mental health, though he too is convinced that the suspect is not mentally ill.

"I think he's just drunk," the prison chief said.

Corrections Department's director general Suchart Wong-ananchai ordered Sorasit to closely monitor Nui round the clock out of concerns that he might commit suicide or be attacked by other inmates.

"There are no worrying signs," Sorasit said.

I guess getting the job of prison chief doesn't involve getting past Mathayom 3 then. Fool.

So basically, first time around they didn't do sh*t in terms of a search.

As for the comment about being drunk, you can see the level of intellect among law enforcement in this country. Basically they are utter bone heads.

KILL this idiot but first give it to <deleted> by a dozen of horse.

Good to see that the psychiatrist has ruled out the insanity defense. I suspect there is a lot more to be revealed.

"but not mental disorder"

My non-professional opinion - he's a certifiable sociopath, crazy as the mad hatter to do what he has done over and over again.

#3 - spot on. The 7yo boy who went missing from a temple compound - the logical thing to do at the time would be to scour the immediate vicinity. But this was only done, a month later, after intense publicity, reducing the likelihood of finding clues (or the child, if he was still alive). Can this police force sink any lower? RIP dear kiddies.

This guy will not fare well in general population in prison. I know that is always said about guys who commit heinous crimes, but usually they do OK. But child rapists and murderers are in for a rough time, and perhaps murder.

I am beginning to realize that if these criminals did not admit to their crimes and go to the lengths they do to help the police,virtually no crimes would be solved in Thailand

Oh how would I like to have a chat with this guy in a closed room with no witness.

This story saddens me to no end!

What I see and hope is that the Thai community wakes up

and understands that society has predators in their midst and that

children are usually on their radar. No country is without these type of people unfortunately!

The last moments of these kids lives absolutely horrifies me!

I do not support the death penalty and after they study this man and his habits

predator habits and share with schools events and the whole of Thailand

they should help him on his way to the next life!

Dead man walking?

"might be suffering from an anti-social personality disorder and deviant sexual preferences"? I would say that was a given, wouldn't you? Only 1 way to cure him, by making him a worm buffet. Only hope the guards give him regular kickings, the inmates put glass and p!ss in his food and when he finally gets to hell Satan makes him share a room with the cast from Hellraiser. Straight lethal injection is way too good for this pedo.

Thank goodness this maniac is a Thai and not a foreigner for obvious reasons.

Just a drunk?

Average Thai drunk??

Be careful out there!!!!!

"I think he's just drunk," the prison chief said.

Can there be a better advertisement for prison reform in Thailand than this?
