webfact Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Police arrest serial killer dubbed Thailand’s Jack The Ripper Picture: Siamchon News Somkid Pumpuang, the serial killer dubbed ‘Thailand’s Jack The Ripper’ was arrested at 10.30am on Wednesday morning, Thai media reported. The 55 year old was travelling by train from Surin to Bangkok when he was apprehended at Pak Chong train station. Police said he was found to be in possession of a knife. Somkid was released from prison in May having been pardoned for good behaviour. He had previously served 14 years in jail for killing 5 women he met in karaoke bars throughout north and northeast Thailand. Somkid had been the subject of a large scale manhunt since Sunday after police found the body of a woman at a property in Khon Kaen. She had been murdered and her ankles had been bound with a mobile phone charger cable. A video shared by Sanook News purportedly showed Somkid sleeping on a train just moments before his arrest.

WalkingOrders Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I usually have no comment about how Thailand works. But in this case I had to read this more then once to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong. This guy previously killed 5 women as a serial killer, and 14 years later he is let out for good behavior and then he murders again?!!!!!! It's to insane to be believed! Everyone involved in the decision to let this man out of jail should share the cell along with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many liberal countries with bleeding heart citizens that say "oh the death penalty doesn't deter "or It's barbaric" I say I don't care if it deters anyone from killing I just know that the slimeball that commits murder will never do it again.
