Thai woman executed in 1979 for conspiracy in a kidnapping and murder plot of a child.. Daily Brutality


Here's a name I bet you never heard before, Ginggaew Lorsoongnern. She was a Thai woman executed in 1979 for conspiracy in a kidnapping and murder plot of a child. She was the second woman in Thai history to be executed by gunfire.


** This is the infamous red door through which condemned Thai prisoners entered their execution chamber.


Lorsoongnern had been fired from her housekeeping and childcare job by Vichai and Jitra Srijareonsukying, a Bangkok couple with a six-year-old son. She needed money, and after a discussion with her boyfriend, who already had a criminal record, they decided to hold the young boy ransom.


On October 18th, 1978, Ginggaew picked up the boy from school and took him to a hiding place in Nakhon Ratchasima Province in Isan. The boy's captors demanded 200,000 baht from the family. They were instructed to find a flag left by them between the Jantuek and Pakchong railway stations and leave a bag holding the ransom money in that location.


The desperate parents searched in vain for the flag but were unable to find it. The kidnappers, angered at not receiving their funds, stabbed the boy numerous times and buried him alive.


In an attempt to avoid being haunted by the boy's spirit, they performed a specific burial ritual and put him undergroud with specific Thai burial goods.


Authorities would later say that Ginggaew attempted to stop the murder, but ultimately failed.


She was tried, and on January 12th, 1979, the Prime Minister of Thailand sentenced her to death by firing squad. The following day she was transferred to Bang Kwang Central Prison in Nonthaburi Province for her sentence to be carried out.


** An example of the Thai execution set up.


The Thai method of executing someone by gunfire was to tie them to a wooden cross with their hands in what is described as a "prayerful position." The condemned was facing a wall. A screen was placed between the executioner and the prisoner.


Behind the screen, the executioner had a mounted automatic rifle that would be used to fire up to 15 rounds into the vicinity of the heart of the convicted criminal. This was intended to terminate life immediately.


This execution method was carried out on Giggaew, and her body was transported to the morgue (which happened to be conveniently located next to the execution room). According to the website ExecutedToday.com (yes, that is a real website) this is what happened next in the words of the executioner:
