Disabled Child Dies in Sattahip

Police Captain SaiJai of Sattahip police station received notification of the death of a young child at a house in his jurisdiction. He went along to the scene along with medics and a rescue foundation unit to provide assistance. At the scene he found 73 year old Khun Wassana and her deceased grandson Itthikorn.

Khun Wassana was obviously distraught. She had brought up and cared for the young boy since he was a baby. Her son, the child's father Khun Munwong aged 35 who is in the Thai military had left the boy with his mother Khun Wassana after he had split up with his wife soon after she gave birth to the baby.

The little boy Itthikorn had a serious disability suffering from a rare condition that had caused his head to almost twice the normal size.

Police Captain SaiJai and the village headman and concerned local residents got together to take the child to the local temple for funeral rites to be arranged.
