Thai authorities on Wednesday sent back six family members of a Cambodian migrant worker accused of raping and murdering a Thai woman in Bangkok last week.

The suspect, 24-year-old construction worker Rith Saroath, fled Thailand, leaving his family behind, after his alleged forcible rape and murder of Ruk Khun Airada, a 25-year-old Thai national on October 21.

Saroath escaped to Cambodia and hid out in his home in Battambang’s Thmar Koul district until he was arrested and sent to Thailand at the Thai authorities’ request. His expelled relatives, four men and two women, were detained for six days by Thai police and were released in exchange for Saroath, according to police in Battambang’s Kamrieng district.

May the full force of the law come down on him hard.

Kind of surprised though. Usually the Khmer is not as violent as the Thai male.

This is a GREAT example of how the law in western countries should operate...

If France could do the same and return to their country or hell, all families of Arab foreigners who massacred the Jews and the French, we would be very happy. But France is fearful. I am French.

"His expelled relatives, four men and two women, were detained for six days by Thai police and were released in exchange for Saroath"

Interesting approach to justice - kidnapping and holding relatives hostage in exchange for a suspect.
