Alleged rapist of teen refuses to re-enact crime

By The Nation

 

 

CHACHOENGSAO: -- A man accused of raping and murdering a 14-year-old girl in the Ban Pho district of Chachoengsao province on July 12 refused to perform a crime re-enactment and apologised before the girl's body, provincial police chief Pol Maj-General Theerapol Jindaluang said on Friday.

 

The suspect, Supornchai Noonoi, 31, an alleged serial rapist linked to at least four other rape cases – in Khon Kaen in 2008, 2015 and last year, as well as another rape in June of a 30-year-old woman in Chon Buri's Panat Nikhom district – did not confess to the crime against the teen out of remorse, Theerapol explained. 

 

Supornchai, who was nabbed on Wednesday based on DNA evidence, confessed because he was confronted with clearly incriminating evidences, which are sufficient to prosecute him even without a crime re-enactment, Theerapol said. 

 

Police were also worried that the angry crowd at the re-enactment scenes might attack the suspect and escorting police officers, he admitted. 

 

A group of 60 people, led by the murder victim's relatives, had showed up at the Ban Pho Police Station on Thursday afternoon to demand that the officers bring the suspect to perform a crime re-enactment and apologise before the girl's body. Despite police claims that the officers had to gather evidence for submission along with a detention request to court on Friday and that the suspect was linked to more cases, the villagers insisted on the demand for an apology from the suspect. 

 

They even suggested to bring the girl's body to the precinct for the suspect to apologise in front of everyone. 

 

The protest went on for hours until Theerapol patiently explained the law and promised to proceed with the investigation carefully and fast. The villagers left at around 7pm.

He was released after 1 year for murder crime previously. I wonder if he will be released again after another year behind the bars.

If he is a serial rapist why is he out on the streets and not imprisoned?

This man is a despicable piece of excrement, but it's not his responsibility to do anything. What morals could you possibly hold a murdering rapist up to? Criminals are not obliged to help the police with their work loads/jobs. That is the job solely of the police. You can be more lenient with sentencing if they do help, but this is all moot as this person needs to be put away for the rest of his life if found guilty. 

 

You don't need to do re-enactments for the purposes of securing a conviction. Sentences are often simply given out on the whim of a judge. The re-enactments are nothing more than a photo opp and an ego boost.

kind of a big issue; laymen here do not understand the law and make Demands; actually explains a lot here

Can't really be surprised he didn't want to reenact the rape

[edwinchester]

Was it really as long ago as last week that the police were told to stop these reenactments?

[AGareth2]

If guilty he should be given the death penalty

How can one be an alleged rapist but at the same time have sufficient proof of guilt against the perpetrator at the same time?

He has yet to be convicted by a court

[ezzra]

This scum is nothing but a defected human being, a sub human in fact, should have

tossed out to garbage pile when first he was born....

Rapists always seem to get early release. There was another one in the news the other day who raped a nurse in the Nong Khai Hospital. Is it because rape is only considered to be a minor offence?

Thailand it seems is a man's world. Obviously women don't have much say determining the law within this sexist justice system.

Ahhhhhh

Another repesentative of the "kill, kill, kill, kill" brigade.

A very, very long prison sentence would be a better person.

[sinbin]

The guy confessed to the crime and his DNA tested positive to him  being involved. So why do these idiots go through a charade of a reenactment, with finger pointing? A total waste of police time IMO.

Turns the whole thing into a 'circus.
I remember quite a few years ago when a guy re enacted a murder of a child, they used a Tellytubby doll, pathetic.

Sentences handed down for these serious crimes are a joke. How is it possible to be released after 1 year for rape and murder?

better to do it with the guilty ones than the innocent ones.

Nope. He was convicted for murder previously, released after 1 year in jail. Capital punishment is the only way to stop murder.

[Minnehaha]

could they not find another suitable woman to sit in for the reenactment? 

 

how on earth is a reenactment even used to prove guilt? DNA evidence is pretty accurate when done correctly. perhaps I dont understand reenacting evidence

So every country with capital punishment have zero murder rates?

I do get that part, but from what I understand, he did confess to the crime, at which point the "alleged" ought to be "confirmed" even without a court verdict?

 

Granted there are cases where someone would just jump into the fire and take blame for a crime not comitted, doesnt feel to be the case here though.

Countries with the death penalty have, on average, a considerably higher murder rate than those which do not. Fact.

[Pridilives]

Reenact used by police when want convict wrong person. Police have custody mean can torture if not do reenact. When stay court how can say innocent if have video reenact. Better cancel all reenact

Wouldn't give him the same "high" as the real thing. Start with castration, followed by a lengthy booking at the Bangkok Hilton...

guy is scum of the earth, sure; but this re-enactment crap is not even civilized
