Father in Thailand Kills 11-Month-Old Daughter Live on Facebook<br />By PAUL MOZURAPRIL 25, 2017<br />HONG KONG — A man in Thailand broadcast himself murdering his 11-month-old daughter in a live video<br />on Facebook late Monday before turning off the camera and hanging himself, the police said.<br />After major news outlets in Thailand broadcast the videos, prompting viewer complaints, the country’s News Broadcasting<br />Council issued a statement instructing the news media not to run the clips because it could lead to copycat violence.<br />The four-minute recording of the man, Wuttisan Wongtalay, 20, hanging the girl from a building on the resort island<br />of Phuket spread quickly, with the mother of the child ultimately seeing the video, according to the Thai police.<br />In an emailed statement, a Facebook spokesman called the case "appalling," adding, "There is absolutely no place for content of this kind on Facebook,<br />and it has now been removed." In Thailand, there was broad anger over the crime, which the police said appeared to have been driven by jealousy.<br />Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, addressed the issue at a company conference this month in response to<br />a case in which a man in Cleveland posted a video of himself shooting and killing a 74-year-old stranger.<br />The video showed Mr. Wongtalay fixing a noose around his daughter’s neck and then dropping her off the side of a building.<br />Still, as the Thailand case showed, some posts can slip by.
