rickfarang Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 A suspected paedophile in jail stuffed a sock down his own throat and then tried to slash both wrists on the edge of his toilet bowl. How they could claim this to be a suicide stretches the bounds of credibility. http://www.bangkokpost.net/breaking_news/breakingnews.php?id=116818 ____________________________________ Paedophile suspect dead in suicide (dpa) - A German national charged with raping a minor in Thailand was found dead in his prison cell in what was believed to be a suicide, police said Thursday. The body of Helmut Nehls, 64, was found Wednesday at a prison in the northeastern city of Udon Thani with his wrists slashed and a sock stuffed down his throat, police Captain Jirapong Singhasuriya said. He was believed to have died from suffocation, rather than loss of blood because the slashes to his wrists, inflicted with the jagged edge of a toilet bowl, were not deep, police said. "We are sure this was a suicide because no one could get in to his cell, and the key to his cell was with the supervisor, not the lower officers," Jirapong said. "Nehls had requested a solitary cell because he was suffering stress and was being bothered by the other prisoners," Jirapong added in a telephone interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Thai police arrested Nehls, who is from Zeppernick in the eastern German state of Sachsen-Anhalt, on Feby 10 on charges of raping and abducting a minor. He was arrested in a rented house in Udon Thani, 450 kilometres north-east of Bangkok, with a 12-year-old girl. Police found pornographic videos and a digital movie camera containing a clip of the young girl doing a strip tease. If he had been found guilty of raping a minor, Nehls faced 10 to 20 years in prison. Nehls, a former computer technician, had been visiting Thailand on a regular basis for the past 15 years and was fluent in the language, police said.

bust Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 "Nehls had requested a solitary cell because he was suffering stress and was being bothered by the other prisoners" Hope they'd been beating the crap out of him. I would really like the victims of these scum be able to claim compensation through the perps assets. Usually they are financially comfortable which is why so many of the go undetected for so long.

Hugh_Hoy Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Kind of a case of "Sock It To Me"? Oh well, only Americans over 50 probably get that one. No problem with me if the victims can get some financial compensation from the perps/estates of the perps. Just have to be careful that a new "cottage industry" of claiming abuse doesn't spring up. (In this particular case, there might be enough evidence.) HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuytrede Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I am impressed. Here we see the police publicly stating that someone suffocated from a sock stuffed down his throat who was in solitary confinement and only the supervisor had the key. Whom does this make a prime suspect of murder? And what's the reaction of the foreigners on these boards, those who cannot stop posting how much superior their civilization is? Oh... I forgot...no presumption of innocence for alleged pedophiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
