snoop1130 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Man jailed for 26 years for murdering six-month-old stepson, concealing body By The Nation File photo The Criminal Court on Tuesday sentenced a man to 26 years and three months in jail for murdering his six-month-old stepson and concealing the body in September last year, and for abusing methamphetamines. The court initially sentenced Witthawat Jitthanopajai, 23, to life imprisonment on the murder charge, but commuted it to 25 years behind bars because he had pleaded guilty and cooperated with investigators. He was initially sentenced to two years for concealing the body and six months for abusing meth, but the terms were reduced to one year and three months respectively because he had also pleaded guilty to those charges. The court was told that Witthawat had murdered his stepson during the night of September 8 last year. He suffocated the baby after placing him face-down on his bed, putting a blanket and a pillow over him, and then lying on top of him for 30 minutes. Witthawat and the baby’s mother, Karnchana Thossawang, then put the body in a basket under some clothes and left it in a deserted plot on Soi Ratchada Niwet off Pracha Uthit road, in Bangkok’s Huai Khwang district. After pleading guilty, Karnchana was earlier sentenced to two years and three months in jail for helping her husband to conceal the body.

PJPom Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sometimes after reading reports like this I think I have landed in a parallel universe, the lack of response to these horrors is astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotBenz8888 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The floating home people could face death penalty, while these sickos get jail? In my world, the right people to get sentenced to death are those who killed a six months old baby, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thai justice sucks. Who are these judges who sentence a killer to 1 - 2 years for murder of an infant, Oh but they confessed, thus the reduced sentence. Sick, sick system, sick people.

Eh, they gave him life in jail for the murder , which was reduced to 25 years because he co-operated with the police . He also got an extra two years for concealing the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Horrific. It never ceases to shock me just how low some humans can go. Poor little kid is probably better off than spending a life with these two. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
