A murderer was executed by lethal injection at the Bang Kwang Prison on Monday afternoon, the first execution of a convict since 2009.

The mother of a 14-year-old schoolgirl who was found raped and murdered in her home in Chachoengsao’s Ban Pho district on the night of July 12 said on Thursday that she would not cremate her child’s body until the suspect apologised for what he had done.
