Sexual assault suspect beaten to death in Thai prison

Sexual Assault Suspect Beaten to Death In Prison
By Khaosod English

Prasin Nunkaew, 41, was arrested on 9 July 2014 charged with raping his stepdaughter. Today, he was beaten to death by other inmates in Trang Remand Prison.

TRANG — A man accused of sexually assaulting his seven-year-old stepdaughter has been beaten to death in prison, police say, a day after he insisted he was innocent.

Prasin Nunkaew, 41, was arrested yesterday and charged with raping his stepdaughter on 6 July at a rubber farm in Trang district. Mr. Prasin's wife filed the complaint with police.

In a press conference held yesterday, police said Mr. Prasin disputed the charge and insisted on his innocence. He was later transferred to Trang Remand Prison to await trial.

However, this morning the prison officials discovered that Mr. Prasin had been beaten to death by fellow inmates in his holding cell after a fight broke out, said Pol.Cpt. Methee Pinyoprakarn, an officer at Trang Police Station.

Pol.Cpt. Methee claimed that the fight was not related to Mr. Prasin's rape charge, but failed to provide an explanation for the beating. He said the police are investigating the incident.

The incident came at a time when Thai society and media are gripped by the story of 13-year-old girl who was raped and murdered on a night train. An employee of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has been arrested and police say he has confessed to raping the girl in a sleeping car before throwing her body overboard.

The case has ignited a online campaign for punishing convicted rapists with the death penalty. Under current Thai laws, those convicted of rape can face 5-20 years in prison.

Today, Thai actress Panadda Wongpoodee and a dozen of students staged a demonstration at a train station in Nakhon Si Thammarat advocating for the execution of rape convicts. Contestants of the 2014 Miss Grand Thailand beauty pageant also submitted a proposal to Thailand's military government requesting the same measure.

All kiddie fiddlers (where there is absolute certainty that they did it) should be removed from the planet, definitely where rape is concerned.  If he did it, he got what he deserved.  If he didn't, let's hope karma takes care of his wife...but only once the daughter is old enough to look after herself.

I guess now the debate on the death penalty will wind down.

I don't know if this is a good news or bad news. I really encourage farang opinion on this one. Honest opinion please.

Charged but not yet convicted. This is not conclusive evidence of guilt.

Excellent news, I hope this becomes a trend... to be seen every day until they are all dead.

Everybody deserves a fair trail not to be beaten to death in jail waiting to face the court.

There were a few posters the other day saying that nonces in Thai prisons get treated differently than they would if in a prison in the West. I guess this clarifies that they don't. They are hated everywhere.

Yeah, let's go back to the good old days of lynching them in the public square as soon as they are arrested. Who needs trials?

What nationality are you these days?

Innocent until proven guilty...so this is a bad thing as even in western societies which adhere to this principle many are wrongly convicted..

Due process is an important part of individual rights and let the evidence thru the courts prove guilt...

Reasoning and analytical skills get closer to the truth than passion and emotional behaviors...

So if you yourself were just accused of a crime, you think that you should be beaten to death in prison on your first day before you got to stand trial or confess?

What a deluded comment. What if he was actually innocent since he hadn't even been convicted yet?

  • Popular Post

The guy could have been innocent, at least wait until he is found guilty as anyone can accuse you of this crime.

It is kind of "prison's rule" that an inmate, jailed for raping and killing a minor, will be raped, if no killed, in jail.

Even in Western prisons.

are you for real?what happen if somebody accuses you even innocent,are you still hopes it becomes a "trend"?

He was charged on the accusation of one person. His wife could have been out to get him for a myriad of other reasons, now we will never know. If we were dealing with a convicted rapist who was proven guilty I would be 100% ok with this. But it's most likely due to the death of the 13 year old girl as the article stated. People were angry about one thing and let their emotions carry over to something related.

IMO this is a positive action (& good news) that was taken on this POS and gives me a little more faith in the general Thai male populace than I previously possessed.

 

The authorities (courts, RTP, prison staff) have long demonstrated that they are unable and disinterested in carrying out their respective responsibilities.

Comment from an ex cop who you would expect would be pushing for fair & balanced judicial process, not lynching.

 

Given many of your comments I wonder how you carried out your daily work as a cop.

My football coach forced me to touch him when I was 10 and I have lived with it all more life, I hate these slimy bastards with a passion and if they are murdered in prison then I rejoice.

 

The problem in Australia this filth is put into a special wing away from the general population where they are pampered and cared for with love.

From cursory reading of this OP, it does not mention any evidence, or anything proving guilt.  It only mentions that his wife accused him of it.  If he was guilty, then he may have deserved what he got.  But guys saying this is great, good riddance, etc, are just buffoons jumping on a bandwagon of hatred.

or at least castrate them....

To be fair he has not yet been found guilty, my concern is why he was put in a cell with other inmates. As you would be aware, in Oz, these cockroaches are put in solitary confinement, to protect themselves from others taking serious action.

Is it me, or has everyone just totally ignored this line.???

Western prisons without the rule of laws ? Every civilised prison`s staff are preventing illegal behaviour, specially behaviour likt this, at least in the western country which I`m from

No.  I don't do fiction.

 

Have you ever considered over 16 year olds?
