Family appeal for help in returning bodies of daughter and children murdered in Germany

KALASIN:-- A mother and father from Kalasin province have appealed for help in returning the bodies of their daughter and grandchildren who were murdered by their husband in Germany.

On Friday, Chamras Chaida, 53, and wife Daeng, 51, met with the governor of Kalasin Winnai Witthayanukul to seek his help in returning their bodies from Germany so they can be given a proper funeral in their home province.

The bodies of Lamai Rubino, 37, Sukhontharat Romsabai (Pear), 19, and Sudarat Saenbutr, (Su) 14 are being held at a temple in Germany after they were murdered by Lamai’s husband Antonio Rubino, 53, at the family home in Ravensburg on July 1st.

The story has made national news in Germany where police have charged Antonio Rubino with the triple murder.

At the crime scene, officers reportedly found a note written by Rubino where he announced his plans to kill the family and then himself due to the breakdown of the marriage to Lamai.

Mr Chamras said his daughter had been married to her husband for more than a decade after the pair met in 2005 while Antonio was on holiday in Thailand. Less than a year later they were married.

In 2007, Lamai moved to Germany with her two daughters from a previous marriage who had since been adopted by Antonio.

The pair have another son believed to be around 5 years old who Antonio spared during the attack.

Mr Chamras added that the family just want the bodies of their loved ones returned to Kalasin so they can be given a final farewell.

The Department of Constitutional Affairs are in contact with the authorities in Germany over the matter.

Thailand won't release the dead body of the British Lady that passed away in A Hospital until money is forthcoming.

So surely the Thai family have to "Pay" for the release of their family too.

Only fair.

3 thai nationals were murdered v a frail lady travelling without travel insurance. No comparison. The boy who was spared is the erk in this matter. Awful scenario.

They obviously didn't have travel insurance. They've lived in Germany since 2007.

The family in Germany were DOA so no medical charges will have been incurred.

Even if medical costs had been incurred they would have been paid for by the Federal Republic of Germany as (just guessing) the family will have become naturalised German citizens.

Most countries do not pay to have their citizens bodies flown to foreign countries on the whim of relatives in those countries. As far as the FedRep is concerned those people are already home.

Most impressive "Thaivisaness" on your part.

RIP

If someone finds a link to a fundraising effort to facilitate the return of the bodies to their family please post.

In all fairness, they are going to be cremated here anyway, so just let them be cremated in Germany and their ashes sent home. That is what will happen to me, no point in wasting good money, in shipping a dead body.

....it takes a lot to lead a normal human to murder one would think....

...would think that he gave specifics rather than 'breakdown of marriage.....

...more like 'betrayal in the highest order'....

...a terrible tragedy.....but.....

....tired of hearing about these innocent victims.....

...from a land where you see that even the monks have no innocence.....???

The Thai family doesn't have to pay anything to release the bodies.

It's how to get the bodies to Thailand that the family can cremate them.

Your example about a British lady where the hospital wants to get paid has nothing to do with it.

It might be very much better for the family, and cheaper, to go to Germany, have the bodies cremated over there with the services if a local wat, and then transport the ashes to Thailand for a local funeral.

The German government should pay for all costs to get the bodies to Thailand. I know that the German government is already informed of the "special circumstances" and I guess it's just a formality and a matter of time that the family in Kalasin will receive the bodies to cremate them.

Some odd remarks but "betrayal of highest order" such as?

Bad pennies in every part of society globally. If your an expat you should be better informed than most.

RIP to the three and for the hubby may he rot in jail.

According to German media reports, the mother had a gik on the sideline when the hubby worked during shifts but this is no reason for him to kill his wife and his two adopted daughters.

As for sending the bodies back to Thailand it will need to be paid by the families in Thailand or friends of the family in Germany. It is very expensive to send three coffins back to Thailand which could cost 200 - 300,000 Baht.

Thanks. Any info on the boy? Does he have immediate family to care for the boy?

These are "special circumstances" and the German government will finally have to pay for the tickets. They can try to get the money from the piece of shit, sell the Benz and house,etc...

Awaiting post from the German goverment, more and more are getting involved and to get the bodies to Thailand shouldn't be a problem if they can take hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

It would be great to send the prieck who did that to the family/ village and let them deal with it. German tax payers are already way over their limit.

You can't just print new Euro bills.Thanks to Merkel.

You are very twisted.

The 2 cases are not comparable in any way.

a tragic end to a family.

we can understand the pain and grief of the Thai relatives

for their loss and their intention to put a befitting closure

by according the family members a proper last rites.

we hope their wishes will be fulfilled.
