Police Leutenant Tharathep of The Leam Chabang Police and a unit of the Sawang Pratheep Rescue Foundation were called to give assistance to a woman who claimed to have been raped and assaulted.
They went immediately to the scene at a security box outside Sukhum Karn Chang Co., Ltd. on the side of highway 36 in Tambon Thoong Sookkhala, Amphur Sriracha.
A lady aged 40 was laying on the ground in a dazed and confused state. She claimed that she had been beaten up and raped by her uncle Khun Soonthorn aged 45.
The police went to interview Khun Soonthorn who lives nearby. It appears that the victim was drinking with Khun Soonthorn the previous evening and when he got drunk he became violent when he asked her to pay back 3,000 Baht that she had borrowed from him. When she refused he knocked her unconscious and raped her in front of his wife who had returned to the room and saw everything that happened.
Both Khun Soonthorn and his wife had minor injuries and further enquiries and interviews will be needed to find out exactly what happened.
