Chilling CCTV footage shows four men carrying a drunk woman out of a bar before she was allegedly gang raped and murdered. Nong Gift, 21, had been watching the Champions League final with friends last Saturday in Chanthaburi, Thailand, when she had too much to drink.
The cosmetics seller passed out inside the pub, with relatives claiming she was drugged, and was carried out at 2am and put in the back of a pick-up truck by four men who said they would take her home.
But the men, including one who is said to have known her, drove her to a secluded orchard where she was allegedly raped and beaten to death.
The gang, Nattaphong Saenkraud, 24, Patti Boonthal, 23, Panya Chan Somdee, 18, and Suitsit Jaechim, 24, reportedly confessed their involvement to police.
On Wednesday they were taken on a crime re-enactment. During the crime re-enactment the four men were taken to the bar, shown loading a woman into their truck, and taken to a warehouse at the orchard where the attack happened.
One of the group, the man who knew her, claims he only drove her and the other men to the area where she was killed. All the men have been detained by police.
Police Major General Charn Jitjunjun said: ‘The victim was found dead on the same night. Four men have been arrested and confessed to their part in the crime.
‘The victim was raped by four people and we believe beaten until she died. Her body was found with foam around her mouth, a nose bleed and part of her clothes on the floor.’ A devastated friend who had been with Nong earlier in the evening said she had left her with the group of men because she thought they were friends.
There was also women in the group when she left, and one woman even helped to carry her into the truck. Airziz Opachat said: ‘I’m sorry. If we knew that last night was the last time we were together. I will take care of you better.
I’m sorry I did not take care of you better.’ The other girls all left earlier in the evening and Airziz said that Nong ‘didn’t seem very drunk’.
She added: ‘Nong already knew one of the men. She was friendly with everyone. It was normal for her to be out chatting with people. ‘I thought that she had arrived with these men and was friends with them.’
Nong’s body was found in the fruit processing area. Police are now carrying out post mortem examinations on Nong’s body to discover whether she was drugged and the exact cause of her death.
Police Major General Charn Jitjunjun added: ‘The full investigation has not been concluded and police are still establishing the exact situation. ‘Relatives of the victim believe she was drugged. She was used to drinking alcohol and would not have been unconscious like this.’
