Let's pray that is not true

Oh, its true alright. This molly coddled mummy's boy, like most Thai men, wasn't getting what he wanted, in his way, when he wanted it and so did what he seen to be the correct thing to do. Went into a selfish rage and punished his wife for not holding him, coming to him when called and not giving him his way.

I see it everyday with young Thai boys and full grown Thai men. It's scary, it really is. RIP to his dear children.

Horrible event.........RiP the lovely, innocent kids...........

Why is this type of incident becoming so prevalent nowadays here in Thailand.........??

Horrible event.........RiP the lovely, innocent kids...........

Thai men want the women to stay at home and do nothing while they are out spend all the family money on boos, hookers (mia noi) and gambling. But today most Thai women have started to think for them self and don't want to be a second class citizen anymore as they have been treated in the past and that some (many) of the Thai men cant accept.

R.I.P. little babies.

What makes me so angry is it is always the children that suffer.

Poor innocent little ones, not old enough to have done wrong

Bloody mummies boy not getting his own way, takes it out on children. .

Man kills four children due to family problem



TRANG: -- A construction contractor shot dead four of his children at his house in Trang’s Pa Lien district Monday morning in what suspected to have been motivated in family problem.

After the killings, the suspect whose identity was not known at press time escaped to a cottage where he has been holing out and refusing to give himself up despite police attempt to convince him to lay down his handgun and to surrender.

Dozens of policemen have been laying siege to the cottage since the morning. During the siege, the suspect asked for water but when police gave him the water he rejected it apparently suspecting that the water was laced with sleeping pills.

Police however managed to slip into the suspect’s house through an open window and brought the four dead victims out. The four victims aged from three years old the youngest to 14 years old.

Pol Maj-Gen Daoloy Muendet, commander of Trang provincial police, said that the suspect was under heavy stress because of family problem. He added that his wife recently left him.

At about 2.30 pm, police said that the suspect asked to see his estranged wife at the cottage but police declined for fear that he might shoot his wife and commit suicide.

Relatives were brought in to try to talk the suspect to surrender but to no avail, said police, adding that police considered other options, including the use of force to disarm the suspect.

The last bullet that was meant for him unfortunately missed , but I think he will succeed when he thinks about what he did ti his family. RIP.

He can be LUCKY to be dead as well, otherwise other prisoners would kill him in prison for what he did.

R.I.P. little kids.

Oh, its true alright. This molly coddled mummy's boy, like most Thai men, wasn't getting what he wanted, in his way, when he wanted it and so did what he seen to be the correct thing to do.

Quite apart from the tragedy described here in which innocents have died, it's a miracle how perceptive, all-seeing and deeply skilled in diagnosis some can be when the victims bodies are barely cold.

You should be ashamed of your rush to judgment when knowing virtually nothing of the circumstances surrounding the case.

I learned in high school that women come and they go. No reason to stress over them and definitely no reason to kill because of them.

Sadly this man may have been mentally ill. Killing your family is just not something that any sane person can do.

Save money, don't rush to hospital, no reason to live for him, save the courts and cost of a trial. Less trouble for those left behind.

Just what sort of prehistoric DNA allows for this kind of 'reasoning'...?

Goes to show there are many sub-species of Homo Sapien.

Well that's how to win a woman's heart. Murder her kids. Brilliant.

He can be LUCKY to be dead as well, otherwise other prisoners would kill him in prison for what he did.

R.I.P. little kids.

Or the relatives, hers AND his, would do it during the "re-enactment". What a selfish, evil monster!

Oh, its true alright. This molly coddled mummy's boy, like most Thai men, wasn't getting what he wanted, in his way, when he wanted it and so did what he seen to be the correct thing to do.

It is very true that Thai women ruin Thai men, they let them do what they like when young kids, even female strangers fuss over young boys.

But this creep deserves to be dead,lucky escape for him.

I learned in high school that women come and they go. No reason to stress over them and definitely no reason to kill because of them.

While you might be right there is something you forgot

- there were children and in most cases women behave like they own them (having the force of the law behind them)

and they take away from the man what he loves most

(just to consider - I don't know if this was what happened in this case)

Ok. I will put myself in the firing line and say that whilst this is an enormous tragedy and that the man is entirely to blame for what he did, we should also consider the other side of the coin.

This type of thing is happening in many countries and I believe that there is more to it than meets the eye.

Any man that has ever been involved with a woman will know what can be done by them without remorse whatsoever.

That the guy is an animal goes without saying but the psychology behind the event remains to be seen.

I don't know what women you have been spending time with but no woman has ever made me want to kill anyone let alone my own children.

And your first sentence contradicts itself: "the man is entirely to blame" and " we should consider the other side of the coin". Why do we need to consider any other side if he is entirely to blame?

...the children were caught in the middle...

...the adults are responsible....they made the mess...and the children payed...like usual...

...unless there were drugs, alcohol or 'mental illness'......'It takes two to tango'

....who says the wife was not guilty of something to begin with...

....'Ignoring him'......

....some Thai women have a sociopathic skill in doing this...to the detriment of EVERYONE involved...

...then there is infidelity.....humiliation....ostracization...

...like I said.....the 'adults' make the mess.....

...the children pay......

...another shame.....adult egos....adult selfishness .....

...the children pay....

What a guy! He sure showed her...she will not be able to ignore his sorry ass for the rest of her life...poor babies...This would be a good time for normally unacceptable torture of the criminal...

Oh, its true alright. This molly coddled mummy's boy, like most Thai men, wasn't getting what he wanted, in his way, when he wanted it and so did what he seen to be the correct thing to do.

and your insightful, studied, unbiased, detached, un-ethnocentric and expert insights into the mass murder shooters...school and otherwise in the U.S please? I just know psychologists from round the world are waiting with baited breath to learn from your analysis

Whatever remains to be seen,.never any excuses for killing Your children.......

Horrible event.........RiP the lovely, innocent kids...........

Why is this type of incident becoming so prevalent nowadays here in Thailand.........??

because many thai men are mambsy pambsy , wish wasy , underdeveloped mama's boys . who always were given their " way " by there mom's . they have no social skills , no problem solving techniques and a lack of family values . their father was not there or did not care that his son was a potential mass murderer . have you ever wondered why you only see Thai women working ? it is because the job does not pay enough , the job has bad hours , the job is to hard , the job is not a cool job , it interferes with their x box time . it is no wonder more are not shot .................RIP children

This is not an isolated incident, but a common thread throughout Thai culture.

Totally bizarre behavior.

Oh, its true alright. This molly coddled mummy's boy, like most Thai men, wasn't getting what he wanted, in his way, when he wanted it and so did what he seen to be the correct thing to do.

That he is

Let's pray that is not true

Is that your solution to violence?...you pray?

what a weak take on a tragedy. If the fool would have stayed off the sauce long enough to get sober he would not have killed his kids.

I hope the bastard rots in hell.
