Man cuts off thieving teens' penises
34 minutes ago
BANGKOK (Reuters) - A Thai house painter cut off the penises of two teenagers with a knife after he found out they had stolen 50,000 baht (676 pounds) of his savings from an ATM machine, police say.
Manit Srithammathan, 40, told police the teenagers, now in hospital, deserved the punishment as they had betrayed his kindness in letting them stay at his Bangkok suburban house, they said on Saturday.
"There's nothing they deserved more for stealing the money I saved that could have helped me get a job abroad," a police spokesman quoted him as saying.
The painter, facing charges of life-threatening assaults and unlawful confinement, said he could not control his rage as the boys, aged 14 and 15, refused to confess to the theft which he discovered after checking a video record kept by the bank.
Manit threw the severed penises into a canal before his neighbours tipped police off about the incident.
Yikes!
That'll teach them to d*ck with him!
I bet those little pricks won't do that again.
And this happened in a place called Ban-cock
Thank God they didn't sleep with his wife
Wow. This guy's got balls.
This kind of story is always coming from Thailand.HMM.
At least now they have more opportunities for employment in "The Sex Capital of the Far East".
Hey, it's Thailand...he just saved them boys from having their manhood rot and fall off after a night with bangkok suzy anyway
Two new klong fish...
Wouldn't that be peni' for the plural?
It took six posts to state the obvious.
At least these thieves won't be reporducing anytime soon. That sounds like justice in its own way...
That'll learn 'em, all right.
Well on the bright side, their prospects for a career in opera just got a lot better.
``Those girls won't steal from him again.``
A penis does not make the man friend. Ask John Edwards. Its the hair.
This is exactly the kind of punishment that would put a quick end to crime. Too bad it's not being used more often.
Note, that apparently the guy let the teenagers into his house, he was nice to them, and this is how they repaid him. Note also, that even when he had proof, they refused to confess and apologize. I don't see any reason, why such criminals should be allowed to procreate.
I hope the painter gets off with probation.
