THAILAND: MAN CONVICTED OF MURDERING FAMILY, SENTENCED TO DIE

A Thai provincial court on 11 September 2019 convicted and sentenced a 37-year-old man for murdering five family members – including his pregnant wife.
An Uttaradit court condemned Weerapol Pin-amorn to die for murdering his wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law and cousins. He can appeal his case to the Supreme Court.
Weerapol was arrested in January while attempting to flee the country following the brutal incident. Upon his capture, police said he confessed to the five murders. Prior to the murders, the gunman said he had been fighting with Kanyarat Kingkaew, his pregnant wife, and her family over possessions after they’d broken up that day.
