A 90 year old grandmother in a wheelchair pointed to the man she said raped her on Saturday afternoon in a house in a cassava plantation.

Earlier police had arrested 37 year old vagrant Manas or “B”.
He had allegedly gone into the woman’s home while the victim’s daughter and son-in-law were out tending the fields.
After the rape the ninety year old crawled out on her hands and knees in an effort to find her relatives who were 300 meters away.
Blood was pouring from internal injuries inflicted in the rape and locals in Khok Soong sub-district found her first and she was rushed to hospital.
Police examined CCTV at a shop and saw a man matching a description given and made a quick arrest.
Relatives of Manas said that he is insane and police sent him to a doctor in Khon Kaen to confirm this while DNA samples have been taken to confirm that it was him.
