Why do you call those killers Mr. that Mr. this. When you call Mr. that means you respect them, honor them. My warm feeling goes to Phaeng's family. Her life was cut short.

From the story, 35 year old guy felt in love (one side) with a girl, and since he could not win the girl's heart, he invites his team (14 and 19 year-old boys) to help him raped the girl. When they all satisfied with what they did, they just killed that innocent girl.

Ohh...ນີ້ຫວາ ເມືອງພຸດ

in this incident, i think two younger men were convinced by the oldest guy to commit such a brutal crime. as they are young they may not be fully aware of the consequence of their actions. no matter what, they should be punished coz what they did is unforgivable. i understand that this is just a case which rarely happen but how dare they commit it.

How shocking. Why does the 35 yr old man have to get the 14 yr old boys involved. Their mind is still inoccent.
Laos is becoming like Thailand now. The worst are more to come.

In English, we usually don't do that to criminals. I think in Asian countries, they still give honorifics, even to criminals. Why? I really don't know.

In Japanese, I believe criminals are still called "XXX-san" or "XXX-sama" even if they are guilty.

And to the poster that said "Laos is becoming like Thailand now." Why would you say that? I mean, is the homocide rate in Laos rising?

And why Thailand? Asian countries have a particularly low homocide rate compared to anywhere else in the world. I believe that is a biased statement, much like the ones my parents make, because the only news they hear from Thailand is bad ones, never good ones, and so they believe Thailand is filled with criminals.

Sad story.

Yes, everything may happen everywhere when it comes to the love issue, which makes people become blind, stupid and insane, especially for people's first love.

Probably this would seldom happen in the western countries. Why? In their society love matter is transparent. Their teenagers can tell each other freely whether they like each other or not.

In Laos our teenagers cannot do like that, just keep in their mind, they feel akward to tell the truth. This kind of behaviour sometimes can end up with a tragedy as this story which happened in 2004.

I think, Lao parents need to pay attention to their kids when they just start having first love. Giving an advice to their kids is the only way for parents to avoid the bad thing may happen to their kids.

Thailand has the highest murder rate in East Asia.

These kinds of things happen everywhere, unless violent crime is statisticly increasing the report isn't signifigant in the broader sense. What is unusual is that people were caught and arrested. Most sex crimes in Laos go unpunished. Did you know it's not against the law to rape your wife?

you are wrong that rape your wife is not again the law. try it now, if you think is not again the law. in laos go ahead.

I agreed with you, why compared to Thailand ...why not USA ? I guess many Laotian watch Thai TV and only heard bad things about it but not good news. in my opinion USA probably have more homocide than Thailand. And people especially from USA freak out(like my paranoid parents) when they heard just 1 bad news from Laos. I guess everyone going to just keep on picking on our neigbor on the westside of the mekong but not the eastside(viet)probably worst there then the west of Mekong.

Even though Crime in America is still high, it has gone down over the years. But yet since the media constantly reports it, people believe its actually rising.

I checked out statistics online and indeed the most murders in SE Asia was in Thailand, followed by Indonesia. The country with the most murders, again no year stated, just says "most recent", is India, with the USA in 6th behind Mexico.

But remember, as it says on this website, "Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence."

So whats that mean? Thailand has murders, but the statistics may not prove there is a high prevalence of murders, just that more people are willing to report them, and there are more amounts of law enforcements officers.
