Three year old who soiled the bed battered to death by uncle

An aunt and uncle have been charged with killing their three year old niece in Prakhanong, Bangkok.

Police said that the little girl’s uncle Sompong Phuangsombat, 29, attacked her with a broom handle after he was annoyed when she soiled her bed. Not content with beating the little girl he picked up a metal rod and beat her so severely that she died in hospital later Monday, reported Daily News.

Both Sompong and the aunt, 19 year old Phawimon Pinthong have been charged with assault causing death to Supatcha Phitsanayabut. The attack happened at their third floor room in Niran Residence 5 in Soi On Nut 46.

The little girl’s mother had left her with the girl’s grandmother a few weeks back but the aunt and uncle had decided to look after her thinking that the little girl would make a good friend for their own child who was lonely.

But after just a week of “looking after her” Sompong started to hurt her, police said. Then on Monday after the child soiled her bed he went beserk and attacked her. The girl went into shock and passed out and died later in Kluay Nam Thai Hospital.

An autopsy has been ordered at Chulalongkorn Hospital as investigations continue.
