PHITSANULOK:-- A massive police operation has resulted in the arrest of a 45 year old man wanted in connection with the rape and strangulation murder of a 14 year old girl in Phitsanulok.

The man Son Humpiang, was trapped hiding in the cornfield of the father of the girl he is said to have raped and strangled to death in the Nakorn Thai area of the north eastern province of Thailand. He is a neighbour of the girl.

Plain clothes officers from a large task force mobilized in the wake of the horrific crime and acting on an arrest warrant led the man away to Nakorn Thai station. They were obliged to protect him from angry relatives of the victim, a grade two high school student in the vicinity.

A furious public were in no doubt about the guilt of the alleged murderer. The first comment on a Thai language news site screamed: "You revolting hellish animal" while a second poster said:"He shouldn't have got to the police station. He should have been beaten to death and sent on his way. If he goes to jail he will get out in a few years and do it again."

The case against the man is proceeding while he was remanded in custody.

Quick job by the police. But I have to agree with the villagers: the cops found him too quickly before they did.

[tomwct]

This guy was also a village chief or something. Piece of garbage! I think someone in prison will take care of him.

[uthaithanirules]

He goes to prison, gets out in a few years to do it again?

I doubt thats actually going to be true.

Either taken care of in prison or taken care of when he gets out

[shirtless]

I hope he gets whats coming , to much of this crime going on.

[BSJ]

Justice may not be swift....but eventually he will be released from jail.

[leeneeds]

The corn field should have been set on fire

IF they knew without doubt his guilt,

[Mango Bob]

When you can't find them anywhere else always look in the corn field.

[macksview]

vermin.

if he is found guilty, and does some jail time, hopefully the victims family have the money or contacts in jail to remind him of his crime.

he will be a nervous creep on his release.

on the other hand, money changes hands in a compensation payment at village level.

[JeremyBowskill]

Never a day passes without reading about some sex case doing stuff like this, I don't know the stats VS here and my home country but I surely read about it a hell of a lot more here. If found guilty, straight O.B.E, not a knighthood but One Behind the Ear and send his family the cost of the trial and the bullet.

Vigilante justice sounds nice except when they get the wrong man, or the punishment doesn't fit the crime. easy to call for it when the crimes are gruesome, tough to hear about if the guy gets beaten to death when all the guy did was steal some things but people's emotions got out of hand. mobs can get unruly pretty quickl

[wvavin]

There is no shortage of such animals running around Thailand.

[cumgranosalum]

"Allegedly" - I think the "hand 'em high" brigade as ever are revealing more about themselves than the incident.

[godden]

I just feel so bad for the family, devastating.

[doremifasol]

If convicted, I don't think he will make it out of jail.

Justice is served

I haven't read in the papers where rapist or murderers are regularly killed in prison.

[Brer Fox]

Vietnamese vigilantes don't mess about. The Thai locals should have done the same to their piece of garbage.

You're right. In the US there are a staggering about of black men with death or life sentences for crimes they didn't commit.

[Canuk23]

This short and ugly creep took the life of a 14 yo, bastard should suffer 10 folds for what he did no excuse, hes a MONSTER,

he was caught this time who knows if he did this before I would not be surprised.

No matter how heinous the crime, mob justice serves only to reduce society to the stone age. People can be stunningly ignorant and unthinking in their blind fury to lash out at the first target they find: I am reminded of this case in the UK a few years ago: http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/aug/30/childprotection.society

The police and judiciary may be woefully inadequate at times, but they are the best we have.

Or this even worse case http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/a-modern-british-murder-vigilante-neighbours-face-jail-after-convictions-over-murder-of-disabled-man-8909228.html

Mob justice, you just can't beat it. (No pun intended).

[LannaGuy]

IF he is proved guilty (DNA etc.) then I have no problem hanging him which is what he deserves and no amount of 'group therapy', 'counselling' and 'group hugs' is going to turn this worthless piece of shit into a decent human being

[SOTIRIOS]

.....one of the sick...sick results of this 'anything goes' attitude....

....I really wonder if some people have souls.......

...to use the word 'people' loosely.......

[gyrosman]

I love the use of the word " ALLEGEDLY", again if Thailand had a crime lab called; CSI, would it be considered a comedy ? I don't think Thailand needs more foreign teachers who come here for 3 months to play. But, I think retired professional law enforcement specialist would suit their needs better.

[mercman24]

"Alledgedly," yeah, right so he was playing hide and seek in a corn field was he, now i wonder why he would be doing that. ?? yep hang him high

[slipperylobster]

I don't understand why he commented that her pants were sexy? Is that his defense? I remember farang ladies being warned that they could be raped if they wore anything sexy.

This is kind of a cultural thing, isn't it? He might be insinuating that she was at fault for wearing (sexy?) pants.

From the top on down to this mangy critter....wearing something that is sexy/attractive does not have anything to do with the crime.

We've had presumably western posters on another thread saying women who are groped during songkran are asking for it because of the way they dress.

It seems this ridiculous attitude that men who commit sexual assault can be provoked by what women wear and that women are to blame when this happens is alive and well across cultural boundaries.

It's still BS for all that.

[Jackieiam]

Either taken care of in prison or taken care of when he gets out

You might be New in Thailand.

If you notice previous News on raping cases most criminals are repeat offender.

But now with the Pressure of Social media I think he'll be sentence to death like the previous Train rape case

[how241]

Hopefully, he gets what he deserves.

[Artisi]

Hopefully, he gets what he deserves.

It would appear the only thing he needs is removal from the free air supply.
