(15 July) A man in Samut
Prakarn province was mobbed by his neighbours after they caught him attempting to rape his 13 year

The girl, identified as Ms. A, told police that Mr.

has a drinking disorder, and always
knocked on her door when he is drunk. However, she never opened the door, as her mother warned her
not to.
