Chiang Mai: 30 year old admits to raping 74 year old

Sanook is reporting that a 30 year old Thai man has told police he raped and robbed a 74 year old Chiang Mai woman because his wife was pregnant and he couldn’t have sex with her. He also claimed that he was drunk.

The rapist, who already has priors and previous jail time for assault and robbery, had been in charge of a children’s fun slide at a travelling fair set up in a neighbouring village.

30 year old ‘Nim’ was quickly arrested after the incident last Sunday night in Nam Bor Luang sub-district of San Pa Tong.

A re-enactment at the house of the victim descended into chaos as 100 villagers turned up to try to lynch him. Police had to take him away and do the re-enactment at a secure location nearby.
