Man slashes 13-year-old daughter’s throat over Facebook use

The police on Monday arrested a man for slashing his daughter’s throat after an argument about her Facebook and smartphone use.

The 41-year-old man confessed to attacking his 13-year-old daughter with a knife.

Reports say he attacked his daughter with a knife following a dispute over her “excessive use of Facebook and a smartphone.”

However, the girl survived the attack and is being treated in hospital.

Reports said the father was apprehended while on the run with another five-year-old daughter of his, thinking that he had murdered his 13-year-old daughter.

Meanwhile, the Thai man, Surin Kaewrae, has previously been sentenced to three years for other crimes.

In the bid to justify his action, Surin told police that he had many arguments with his daughter previously, adding that he had told her several times to study rather than chat with her boyfriend, but his daughter never listened.

Police said later, Surin’s wife and the victim’s mother, Hattaya Kaewrae, attempted to physically attack her husband but was held back by police.

Report said Surin has been charged with attempted murder and he is in police custody.
