Huay Yai police have arrested a Thai man who
allegedly got his neighbors drunk then raped their two daughters after
the parents passed out.
Somboon Kradkrai, 48, was arrested Oct. 15 near his
daughter’s home in Prachinburi where he allegedly fled after the Sept.
19 assault on the two girls, both under age 15. Somboon admitted to
attempted rape, but claimed he did not go through with it.
The evidence, however, suggests otherwise. The
victims’ mother said she took her daughters to the hospital after they
told her of the attack and doctors reportedly found physical evidence of
rape.
The mother said the incident began when Somboon
showed up at their house around 9 p.m. Sept. 19 with food and whiskey,
asking for her and her husband to join him for drinks. After a number of
rounds, she said she suggested Somboon go home, but he insisted they
each have one more.
She claims after that final drink she and her husband
passed out. When they awoke, they found their daughters disturbed and
questioned them as to the problem. The girls, she said, claimed they’d
been raped by Somboon, who threatened to kill them if they told anyone.
After the mother filed a police report, the suspected
rapist allegedly fled for Issan where he was eventually tracked down.
