Man beats his 2-year-old daughter, 2 infant sons to death for crying out loud
A horrific incident has shaken the community of Khen district in Bangkok after a father was charged with the heartbreaking crime of beating his two-year-old daughter and two infant sons to death.
According to BBC reports, the police suspect that Songsak Songsaeng, who also had two other infant sons from a previous marriage, may have been responsible for their deaths as well. This shocking revelation came to light after the discovery of the body of a two-year-old girl buried beneath a kitchen floor last week.

As authorities delve deeper into this devastating case, it has been revealed that Songsak claims to have a history of mental illness. Apparently, he could not bear the sound of his children crying, leading to this unimaginable tragedy.
Compounding the tragedy, Songsak’s wife has also been charged in connection with the death of their two-year-old daughter, while his ex-wife faces charges related to the deaths of the two boys. All three individuals have been taken into custody. It is heart-wrenching to learn that Songsak has been through four marriages in his life.
The alarm was raised earlier this month when concerned neighbours in the Bang Khen district of Bangkok reported suspected domestic violence. The police swiftly intervened and rescued the couple’s two daughters, aged 12 and four, who were found at home without their parents.
The 12-year-old provided crucial information, revealing that her parents had mercilessly beaten her two-year-old sister, ultimately leading to her tragic demise.
Thanks to her cooperation, the authorities were able to locate the buried body beneath a kitchen floor in north-west Thailand last week.
Furthermore, Thai authorities have charged Songsak with the murder of two other sons he had with his third wife. The connection was made through DNA testing, linking him to the bodies of two infants unearthed a decade ago.
In a heart-rending revelation, Songsak’s third wife came forward, stating that he had killed all four of their infant sons and provided the police with two burial locations. Investigators now suspect that the remaining two may be buried beneath an area where a petrol statio now stands.
