Child serial killer spared from death penalty
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- A confessed serial killer who preyed on young children was sentenced to life in prison this morning.

Although charged with only the two cases for which police could find evidence, the man known only as “Nui” fully confessed to murdering and raping many more, and for that the Phra Khanong Provincial Court said it would spare his life.

Nui’s horrible crimes became known soon after he was caught on CCTV at the BTS Bearing station in the act of kidnapping 6-year-old “Cartoon” from a vehicle she was resting inside. That story gripped Thailand’s attention in December, especially when the 36-year-old drifter then told police it was the latest in a series of crimes involving the abuse, rape and murder of children.

There were at least nine victims, he claimed.

He was also charged with the murder of a 4-year-old girl in Loei and helped police to find her remains. [read more...]

Well I'm pretty sure the inmates at the Bangkok Hilton are going to make this child killer's life a living hell when he's in there. He's going to wish he got the death penalty.

[siampolee]

One can but hope that this objectionable piece of human excrement will indeed suffer the equivalent of ''the death of a thousand cuts'' whilst it festers in the Bangkok Hilton.

[alfredthegreat]

So will he get let out early if he is a good boy?

[GentlemanJim]

is he on bail while he appeals the conviction

Thailand hub of the truly bizarre

[djjamie]

In Thailand a drug smuggler who has the potential, through his drugs, to destroy the lives of people is given a death sentence, but a man that has already destroyed the lives of innocent children and left behind grief stricken relatives gets life in jail.

Lets hope he regrets living everyday that he has remaining on this earth.

If ever the death penalty is deserved, this piece of scum should be at the front of the queue.

[bulekee]

is he on bail while he appeals the conviction

Thailand hub of the truly bizarre

No,he's not a cop.

[kurnell]

I doubt the other inmates will care.

[MMarlow]

Thailand hub of the truly bizarre

What is bizarre, he's not on bail and he got life imprisonment.

Child serial killer spared from death penalty

They're saving it for more severe offenders like hit-and-run super car drivers?

[Nickymaster]

Ok. I don't know what is worse, death penalty or the rest or your life in a Thai prison. Inmates tend not to like children killers and abusers.

[bangkokheat]

i can see the judge going easy on this guy, nui seems to be on the path to rehab already telling the nice policeman and the honourable judge what a nawty boy he had been, im surprised he got life and not a term inline with his honesty, after all, it was only 2 victims they have evidence on, thats not many is it

Confessed Serial Child Rapist-Murderer Jailed For Life
By Khaosod English



BANGKOK: -- Phra Khanong Provincial Court has sentenced the man accused of sexually assaulting and murdering a number of children to life in prison.

Mr. Nui, whose surname has not been registered in the national database, is convicted of premeditated murder and sexual assault for the death of the 6-years old girl nicknamed Nong Cartoon, who went missing last December and was found dead several days later in Bang Na district of Bangkok.

The suspect was arrested after CCTV footage showed him leading the girl away, and Mr. Nui confessed to his crime.

He was initially sentenced to death today, but the judge reduced his penalty to a lifetime jailterm due to his cooperative manner during the investigation.

Our correspondent added that Mr. Nui listened to the verdict without showing any emotion throughout the court session.

The father to Nong Cartoon later told reporters he is still saddened by the incident, and said his family would conduct a religious ceremony on 13 April to mark the 100th day of her passing.

Police investigation indicated that Mr. Nui might have been responsible for at least 10 other cases of sexual assaults of young children in many provinces. Among these victims, 4 have been murdered by Mr. Nui, according to his own confession and police investigation.

The case of Nong Cartoon also spurs the authorities to amend police procedures related to missing children, namely abolishing the requirement that parents could only report missing children after 24 hours have elapsed since the children were last seen.

People like this have a very serious mental health problem. Sadly, the brain is part of the human body and, just like your heart or lungs, things can go wrong with it. That's why respectable human rights organisations oppose the death penalty. Unfortunately lowlife people, even for cases of this appalling and vile nature, still call for people to be hung, drawn and quartered. There are many despots whom have committed vile acts against their fellow human beings, or encouraged others to do so. I can think of thousands really: people such as Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Thaksin, Saddam, the Taliban, Bush and so on and so forth. Yet people in the main don't call for their execution. But their crimes ended the lives of children, women, innocents all. Seriously, we should be looking at the mental health of people who commit crimes that go against human values (such as they are) and as a society, a global society, work out ways in which these people can be kept safely away from the mainstream. I know that all you witch-hunters out there will oppose my words, but I'm telling it as I feel it.

[wilcopops]

just another opportunity for the ignorant to exercise their self-gratifying prejudices on TV

[Yunla]

I'm sure there's a lot of hard labor work under the hot sun that he can do for the rest of his days, with his leg-irons and bowl of rice per day salary. Make him contribute to improving society by digging and carrying, instead of just robbing the most precious things from society - children. Death sentences or just sitting around are not punishment, and doesn't help society. Hard labor is punishment and repayment at the same time.

Not sure how it works but maybe he got deal as he showed them where the body was of one of his victims so no death penalty. Life imprisonment will be worse anyway. Not worth putting this guy to death and risk putting to death an innocent person because the death penalty is still in use.

The man is clearly sick. It's sad that he won't get the medical treatment he needs to confront his problems, and that he will have no chance of reform leading to his having a normal life outside prison.

[Zatoichi]

They shoulda shot em.

[belg]

so a person with lets say 10 gram of illegal narcotics can get death penalty, but a serial killer's life is spared??? they think they will cure him ? in thailand???????????

[Lupatria]

“Nui” fully confessed to murdering and raping many more... There were at least nine victims

​But to go after all cases was to much paperwork? Amazing that laziness of the authorities spares you the gallows here.

Maybe they can't prove it. This happens in the US also. He also helped them find a body so maybe that is the reason. Just like it happens in the US. Life in Thai prison is going to be pretty bad for him, he is being punished.

Killing him ensures they will never solve his other possible murders. Keeping him alive means maybe he will lead them to bodies and give family members some closure one day.

[FiestyFarang]

Raping and murdering children - I know in Thailand your sentence is reduced if you confess to the crime but for such serious crimes like this there should be the death penalty, or if deemed mentally unfit to stand trial a life sentence in a secure mental hospital. Not only the children are dead under terrible circumstances but the parents and family lives are forever changed so much.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but what would you suggest a solution be to "be kept safely away from the mainstream"?

Ship them off to an uninhabited island somewhere in the southern Hemisphere?

Life in a thai jail oughta be much worse than death.. I'd very gladly take a death penalty rather than even 10 years in thai jail.

It's good to read that the father/family of the last victim have apparently found closure and are not out there baying for more blood and death like so many of the posters here. The perpetrator of these crimes is obviously mentally ill (he was never educated and didn't even know his family name from press reports). He may have an organic brain defect or just a warped and misformed view of human sexuality...in any case he's sick and needs to be locked up (I won't say and receive treatment as this is Thailand) where he can't harm other children.
