A confessed serial killer who preyed on young children was sentenced to life in prison this morning.
Although charged with only the two cases for which police could find evidence, the man known only as “Nui” fully confessed to murdering and raping many more, and for that the Phra Khanong Provincial Court said it would spare his life.
Nui’s horrible crimes became known soon after he was caught on CCTV at the BTS Bearing station in the act of kidnapping 6-year-old “Cartoon” from a vehicle she was resting inside. That story gripped Thailand’s attention in December, especially when the 36-year-old drifter then told police it was the latest in a series of crimes involving the abuse, rape and murder of children.
There were at least nine victims, he claimed.
He was also charged with the murder of a 4-year-old girl in Loei and helped police to find her remains.
Although the charges carried a death penalty, the court ruled to spare his life due to the confession, Khaosod reported.
Investigators had determined that Nui started victimizing others as a teenager after himself being raped as a child.
The 36-year-old man, who goes by the name Nui and doesn’t possess a last name, has been charged for only the two cases among the nine children he raped.
