Court condemns a kidnapper and killer of an 11-year old girl to death

TRANG: -- A neighbor who kidnapped and killed an 11-year old girl and then dumped her body in a sewer was on Wednesday sentenced to death by the Trang provincial court.

The kidnap and murder of Nong Pleng whose body was found three days after her disappearance from home in a sewer running parallel to the Wat Phra Ngam-Ban Kuang road in Trang’s Muang district provoked public indignation in the province in mid-May last year.

Police launched an investigation and, finally, managed to pin down a missing neighbor, 36-year old Prathompong Muenbaan, as a prime suspect. He was eventually arrested and indicted in the court on charges of abduction, murder and cover-up of the murder.

Pathompong denied all the charges during the police interrogation and during his trial.

After the announcement of the verdict, the victim’s mother, Mrs Panomwan, said she was satisfied with the verdict and thanked all officials involved in resolving the case and the conviction of the culprit.

Sentence seems about right.

What method of death does Thailand now use?

[Rocceao]

Hopefully for him, a long and painful one that will last a week.

[geronimo]

lethal injection

[Bluespunk]

Denied charges during interrogation and trial.

No confession even for a reduced sentence.

Must have been strong evidence to overcome his claims of innocence.

lethal injection

Thanks, what was it previously, firing squad, hanging?

Firing squad.

The liberals will be here soon (when they finally manage to get out of bed) to condemn the death penalty this piece of scum deservedly got.

"Pathompong denied all the charges during the police interrogation and during his trial".

I hope they had the right man,

If he is, then It is a relief knowing he is not going to be around.

"managed to pin down a missing neighbor, 36-year old Prathompong Muenbaan, as a prime suspect." Hmm. strange that he denied the charge during interrogation and never confessed, which is unusual.

[BSJ]

The firing squad or lethal injection is far to quick for this POS!

There was no firing squad in Thailand!

They used machine gun,which was controlled by electric push button.

This is common knowledge ignorant mates!

Read books written by Chavoret Jaruboon: "The Last Executioner" and another one,about his life and work.

They are available in English on international markets,as well as in Kindle,googlebooks and in Thai language.5US$ only - a steal!very interesting reading.

Susan Aldous(The Angel of BangKuang) also wrote something about him(interviews).

If you can not read because of your poor eyesight,then you may watch

the movie"The Last Executioner" based on above mentioned books.

I understand,that position of executioner is currently vacant...

It wouldn't matter. He would have been killed in prison eventually

[jaltsc]

"A neighbor who kidnapped and killed an 11-year old girl and then dumped her body in a sewer was on Wednesday sentenced to death..."

If he truly committed this heinous act, it's too bad that they can't give him a life sentence and transfer him to Pelican Bay, California. Guaranteed, infinitely worse than death.

Second worst sentence...Solitary confinement while being forced to listen to Barry Manilow 24/7.

I would agree IF the DNA evidence is complete and the case is reviewed and is watertight (semen, blood, witnesses etc.) then he deserves to be taken out as do all the others but it never happens here

[JeremyBowskill]

Good, burn in hell you nonce. Personally I wish they would extend this to all pedophiles, even the teachers caught recently with kiddie porn on their computers. Might seem a bit harsh but as long as there are people paying to see it/making it, then it will continue. Start topping people for it and it may not end the problem but will certainly clear the necks of unwanted scumbags a bit.

In Thailand you can never be sure that the designated culprit is the real culprit. But the death penalty does not interfere me if it is deserved.

[dhream]

Let me give you another slant on the death penalty. Forget the old innocent man argument. Although, for me that's cast iron.

Consider one Peter Sutcliffe, aka the Yorkshire Ripper.

A monster, sentenced to life. He has been savagely attacked several times, blinded in one eye by a dinner fork, and has chronic diabetes, and is reportedly terrified of losing sight in his remaining eye due to an future attack or diabetes. So, would you rather have hung him in the 80's a quick and I'm told, painless. Or relish his decline into hell over Decades? And the Kicker? After all this he's still going to die, probably in terror or in great pain. Now does the death penalty look so Good?

BTW it's also cheaper to jail someone for life, than to execute them, ask any rich appeals lawyer. Who pays for those Appeals? We taxpayers.

So three strong arguments why everyone but the perp. wins when life is handed down. The opposite argument has one position, revenge. Not much of an argument, more a goatherders simplistic biblical logic.

I may be liberal, but I guarantee I got out of bed before you did this morning!

I sincerely hope that the evidence was more than the fact that he was a missing neighbour!

It is really unusual for someone to deny it all the way and end up with a death sentence that would have been avoided by a guilty plea. It adds some weight to the question of guilt, how much weight depends very much on the evidence which we have not seen.

Interestingly even the non-liberalls are quick to suggest that the police are inept and corrupt in one thread, and then ignore that in a case like this.

Yes child killers are the scum of the earth and deserve the harshest of punishments, but you can't have your cake and eat it. If the police and legal system are so awful in the case of the two burmese boys accused of killing the English couple the common sense tells you that the police and legal system cannot be trusted in this case.... oh yes, but that's different you will say. Well, its the same.

I'd rather be accused of being a liberal than be as stupid as some of the comments I see on here.

Where as I get the point you make and am also glad he is suffering, yes I would rather he was topped in the 80's for 2 reasons, 1 it sends out a strong message to sex cases and 2 the money wasted on housing that pile of filth would be in the millions and better used elsewhere,trim down the appeals process to 1 appeal not lasting more than 5 years and heat OAP's living rooms in winter instead.

I understand,that position of executioner is currently vacant...

During the Rattanakosin period, Thailand--then called Siam--was under the "Law of the Three Seals", also called “Kotmai Tra Samduang”. This system was codified in 1805 during the reign of King Rama I under absolute monarchy and remained in place until Thailand transitioned into a constitutional monarchy, following a bloodless revolution in 1932. There were 21 different forms of capital punishment under the Law of the Three Seals, many of them extremely cruel--for example, those convicted of treason would be wrapped in oil-soaked cloth and set on fire. Execution methods have changed over the years. In 1938, for example, convicts were executed using a single automatic rifle. In 2001 five convicts were executed by firing squad in a public execution, provoking strong criticism from human rights groups. A total of 325 inmates have been executed at Bang Kwang. Most of these were executed by machine gun. The last execution of this type took place on 11 December 2002. This was then changed to lethal injection. Four inmates were executed by this method on 12 December 2003. Six years later, on 24 August 2009, two more inmates were executed. There hasn’t been any executions since.

In 2003 Thailand adopted lethal injection as the official method of execution.

What rapist are we talking about ? This case involved the kidnap and murder of a child but I see no mention of rape.

Since when has questioning the legitimacy of a death sentence been the same as defending a rapist?

You are very competent indeed.I know this subject only from beletristic sources.Chavoret Jaruboon claims 55 executions

using push button gun,spending 550 bullets.Only 1 person survived(she did not survive 2nd shot).

there is another movie - half fiction:"Bangkok Hilton" tv movie,execution there was very dramatic and melodramatic.

They should play this movie in LOS every 2nd month,like they play "Friends" in VangVien.
