Thai Man Kills Lover, Decapitates Her Child

5-year-old stuffed into four plastic bags

Share

(Newser) – A man in Bangkok has confessed to murdering his lover and then shooting and dismembering her 5-year-old child, setting off a media frenzy in Thailand. The child's body parts were found in a deserted housing project, stuffed into four separate plastic bags. They were discovered by a garbage man on Monday, who first opened the bag that contained the head. The suspect, who police allowed to hold a press conference, said he committed the murders after his lover pressured him to kill one of her ex-husbands.

This man is a murderer, but not nearly as terrible as that woman who had 15 abortions. Reply

@dontlikeyou: how do you know? so? and are you implying that only muslims would do something that screwed up? because if so you need to go read some work on the holocaust, because a great number of Nazis were devout Christians, as were Americans at My Lai...
