(10 October) The police in Nakhon Ratchasima province have arrested two juveniles accused of rape and murder a 14-year-old girl.
The girl′s dead body was found at her family′s cabin, located in a cornfield in Sung Noen district.
According to the police, boys of 15 and 16 years old raped and murdered their victim as she visited her family estate to do laundry. The suspects later hid the girl’s dead body inside water storage and fled the scene, police said.
Police added that the footprints left at the scene led them to one of the suspects’ house, and later led to the arrest of the boys.
Postmortem investigation revealed that the girl had been raped before she was killed, presumably, from suffocation.

The girl′s mother said she was a nice daughter and performed well at school.
