Panel to study crimes of child-killer
THE NATION



BANGKOK: -- NATIONAL POLICE commissioner General Adul Saengsing-kaew has set up an ad hoc committee to look into crimes committed by a child-rapist and killer.

The panel, overseen by top police officers, was established in the wake of chilling revelations that the man, identified only as Nui, sexually abused many children after he was released from jail last year, and allegedly killed some of them.

"There is a high possibility that the Crime Suppression Division will take over Nui's case," Metropolitan Police commissioner Camronwit Toopgrajank said.

The suspect is currently being detained pending investigation by Bang Na Police Station into the rape and killing of a six-year-old girl who went missing on December 6. The girl's parents picked up her remains from the Institute of Forensic Medicine yesterday. The Rights and Liberties Protection Department has given the parents Bt100,000 in compensation.

In Loei, police said they discovered human remains at a spot where Nui allegedly killed another little girl. Also found at the spot were a stainless-steel necklace with a Garuda pendant, a blue shirt, a pair of yellow shorts and pink sandals - all said to be worn by the four-year-old when she disappeared earlier this year. The victim's distraught mother said she wanted to get hold of Nui and kill him with her bare hands.

Initial study of the skull suggests the girl suffered heavy blows to the head.

Meanwhile, in Don Muang district, more than 200 policemen, soldiers and rescue workers yesterday scoured a field where Nui allegedly attacked another girl. Police fear the worst, even though Nui insists he did not kill her.

"There has been no complaint filed about the missing girl but locals said they had heard an announcement that some parents were looking for their daughter at a recent fair," Metropolitan Police Division 2 commander Suranit Phrombutr said yesterday.

Thai police are a joke and a disgrace to Thailand

One hundred thousand baht compensation for the life of your child. Two thousand GBP, $3000 US. Well I guess that is enough to buy a Browning 1/2 inch with armour piercing rounds and blow the bastard apart limb by limb wherever he is for his next photo shoot.

The Thais are going to "study" this case.

[Docno]

Look, there are serial killers and serial rapists in many (if not most) countries, and many get away with it for much longer than this beast. The Green River Killer in the US may have killed over 100 women in the 80s and 90s. US police, with all their motivation, training, and technology couldn't catch him for years. I think it makes sense for the police to 'study this case', so they can determine what could have been done differently... what needs to change. This is what police services do all over the world. And new investigative policies and legal procedures are sometimes introduced as a result. But people here would prefer to criticise everything...

Child killer/rapists are a little different than adult serial killers, although there are probably more similarities than differences. There is a lot of information already available about these guys, their profiles, how they operate and how to detect them. I very, very much doubt that a Thai killer/rapist is much different than a western one, even though many people would like to think that there are.

I have a problem with the police allowing for these re-enactments. Killer/rapists get gratification and satisfaction out of reliving their crimes. These crimes were sexually satisfying and fulfilled a whole host of needs for this persons otherwise empty existence. Reliving them is a positive experience. It is a reward and provides very little in return. His only regret is about being caught.

We have no idea how many children are victims. Most people when they are caught have committed many crimes before they were convicted. There could be a lot of victims and he could be slow in giving a full accounting.

Not sure giving 100k to a d!psh@t father who leaves a kid alone in a car is sending out quite the right message............. Should find himself in court himself, I'm sure he is suffering anyway but some kind of suspended sentence is needed surely.

No-one is saying the psychology of the criminal should be studied. Rather the police need to study how the case was handled (which includes investigatory procedures, the agencies involved and communication among them, and the existing laws that help or hinder the investigation). I agree with everything else you say... though there may be cultural differences in what motivates killers and this would be important to understand (for example, victims or calendar dates might be chosen for certain religious/superstitious reasons). That's a different topic, however...

You have to laugh at a police force that has a division dedicated to 'crime suppression'. In most countries, that would be the purpose of the whole police force.

Nui and people like him will continue to carry on their sprees for extended periods as long as the thai police force exist primarily as a vehicle of personal enrichment for its employees.

Enjoy paying 500baht to get away with drink driving? Well, here's the flip side of thay coin.
