PRACHINBURI – A young mother was arrested by police in southeaster Thailand Teusday on charges of assault causing death to her baby boy, domestic violence and drug abuse after she beat her own child to death.
The 19-year old accused admitted to the district police in Kabin Buri that she hit the head of her two-year old boy with her bare hand after he cried endlessly. However, the baby grabbed her hair, driving her into rage and she hit him twice on the head until he stopped crying.
