Condemned convict declines to appeal against his death sentence

BANGKOK:-- A railway worker who was condemned to death by the Appeals Court for raping and killing a 13-year old girl travelling on a night train has declined his right of appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court.

The condemned convict, Wanchai Saengkhao, submitted a petition through his lawyer to Hua Hin provincial court declaring his decision not to appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court.

As such, the case is regarded as closed and the convict will face his judgement.

However, a judicial source said that execution would not be carried out until the convict has petitioned for Royal pardon. Only when his petition is rejected or there is no response to his petition after a certain period, then execution can proceed.

The case was widely reported by the media because it took place in a night train right in the middle of several other passengers who were totally unaware of the crime. The body of the victim was thrown out of the speeding train.

Now there's a loophole that has just been waiting to be exploited by scum like this piece of faeces.

Well let us hope that the petition isn't filed for a number of years as the rule could very well be different by then.

I would imagine that death might be an easy way out for him.

The last capital punishment execution in Thailand was in 2009....it don't happen often.

Thailand has not carried out any executions in over ten years except for two in 2009.

My guess he will remain on death row for many years not knowing if every birthday will be his last... maybe in ten or twenty years time (or probably sooner if when Thailand does away with the death sentence) his sentence will be reduced to life.

Unfortunately this raping,murdering slug will probably be back on the streets in about 10-20 years. I hope someone inside has the decency to do what the courts will not.

[Andaman Al]

The defence lawyers must be so pissed that they cannot screw another 100k baht out the legal system by presenting a pointless appeal before this oxygen thief is whacked by the state.

"A railway worker who was condemned to death..."

I would think that a more appropriate sentence than death would be to make him the permanent shower attendant for the general prison population.

[doremifasol]

A loophole..........Just when I though the scum manned up...............

[nichol]

Don't let it/him take what he thinks will be the easier way out by getting it over quickly

Make it/him wait on death row for 20 years then turn him over to the girl's family

Unlike western prisons rape of males in a male prison in Thailand is very rare and met with disgust by Thais. More often than not a prisoner would have sex with one of the prison pigs long before considering committing a homosexual act. usually 3000b for a pig, 5000b for a female pig and for 8000b you can choose which female pig and lets face it who would want an ugly pig. Thais are very accepting of ladyboys but are not accepting of homosexuality. Back to this convict and the horrendous crime he committed, I am of the opinion he should be a an asylum not a prison but wherever he is held it should be for eternity.

Retoohs, you've now ruined the dreams of closet homosexuals on this forum who salivate at the thought of prison buggery and never miss an opportunity to tell us, often in lurid detail, what could or should happen to convicts. It always makes me laugh.

Or did a stretch.

I wonder how rapists and pedophiles are treated in prison here? In the west they get bashed/killed. Seeing the picture of this guys smug smiley face makes me feel ill

To claim that some Thai prisoner would pay thousands of Baht for a pig is ridiculous.

Here is some more info from an actual inmate that sees the things quite differently.

Death is not the answer here Once he is dead he does not know anything. Put him to HARD Labor for the rest of his natural Life. 7 Days a week.

You can be sure he will think about what he did for the rest of his life and wish he had not taken that route
