A Thai woman called on the police to speed up their work after Mother-in-law’s ex-boyfriend and be three friends raped on May 9 in the Isaan province of Udon Thani. The rapists remain at large.

The 27-year-old victim described the brutal sexual assault to Channel 7, saying that on the morning of the rape, she had argued with her husband and was packing her things to return home to her family. The first rapist, her 63-year-old mother-in-law’s ex-boyfriend, approached her as she was waiting for a public bus at a bus stop.

The suspect offered her a ride to Udon Thani train station, but she refused. The man then punched the victim in the face and stomach before putting her in his motorcycle with a sidecar.

The man called his three friends to meet in a forested area on the side of the road, ten kilometers from the bus stop. There, the four rapists abused the victim for several hours before threatening her with a knife, telling her not to tell anyone about the sexual assault, and leaving the scene.

The victim remained in the forest until a witness spotted her and took her to a nearby hospital. She then filed a complaint against the four suspects at Meuang Udon Thani Police Station, but the case was dropped.

The mother-in-law told the media that she was in a relationship with the first rapist for about a year until she found out that he was already married.

The mother-in-law said the rapist was a womanizer and flirted with many women in the community. He was also a sadist and always used violence during sex.

The daughter-in-law has a developmental delay or learning disability, which is why the mother-in-law fears that the attackers could evade prosecution.

The victim and her family said they were worried for her safety because the rapists knew many influential people. They hoped the police would bring the suspects to justice as soon as possible.
