No clear proof 3-year-old was raped, says forensics chief

No clear proof 3-year-old was raped, says forensics chief

The Institute of Forensic Medicine said on Monday (May 18) that there is no clear evidence the three-year-old girl, Nong Chompoo, whose naked was found in the mountainous region of Mukdahan’s Dong Luang district last week, had been sexually assaulted.

Dr Saksit Bunyalak, head of Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital’s forensics department, said that though wounds had been found in the child’s genitals, it still cannot be confirmed that she was raped.
“The cause of her death has not been revealed, but she had several wounds on her body and genitals. The wounds cannot confirm she was raped. The media has wrongly jumped to conclusions and prompted public criticism of the hospital’s forensics department.”
