The Kanchanaburi provincial court on Wednesday (Sept 6) ordered a man who allegedly slit the throat of a five-year old girl to death to be detained for 12 days pending further police investigation into the case.
The suspect, 24-year old Anusorn “Benz” Saipin, reportedly told police inquiry officers after he was arrested on Tuesday (Sept 5) that he killed her because the girl frightened him when she got into his house while he was sleeping.
He told police that he woke up and thought the girl was a spirit that had come to take his life.
Mr Anusorn said the girl ran into the kitchen. He followed her and slashed her throat with a kitchen knife.
He added that he washed the blood-stained floor and put the victim’s body into a fertilizer bag and dumped it near a septic pond in the neighbourhood of his house in Srisawat district of Kanchanaburi.
The girl’s body was found on Sept 3.
Pol Lt-Gen Sutthipong Wongpin, commissioner of Region 7 Provincial Police Bureau, said he had instructed police handling the case to gather as much evidence as possible to make a solid case.
Three charges were leveled by the police against the suspect which include premeditated murder, hiding the victim’s body to cover up the crime and carrying weapon in public.
Another tragic story. Either this man is a callous psychopath or extremely disturbed.Either way, another innocent life has been lost.
