A tragic event in Thai history began with a woman, Ginggaew Lorsoungnern, whose fate was destined to be tied to an innocent child forever. Back in 1979, a family in Bangkok hired her as a domestic helper, and the couple had a six-year-old son. However, when Ginggaew lost his job, a chain of terrible events began.

Ginggaew's life is in trouble, and her boyfriend encourages her to kidnap the boy in anticipation of a hefty ransom. She is thus drawn into a devastating conspiracy that is soon joined by five co-conspirators. The incident occurred on October 18, 1978, and that same night, Ginggaew picked up the boy from the school and took him to the hiding place of his accomplices. They blackmailed the boy's family for 200,000 baht on the condition of finding a flag between two specific train stations and putting the ransom in a bag. However, because it was late, the parents were unable to find the flag.

This gruesome episode escalated to an extreme, resulting in the boy being stabbed and then buried underground. Incredibly, the coroner later found dirt in the boy's lungs, meaning he was not completely dead when the boy was thrown into the grave. Ginggaew allegedly tried to protect the boy, but ultimately to no avail. However, because she was at the heart of the entire conspiracy, these senseless efforts did not save her from the death penalty.

When executions are carried out in Thailand, priority is usually given to the execution of women, so although Gasem and Pin were also sentenced to death, Ginggaew was executed early. Hours before leaving, she repeatedly fainted, crying and pleading: "I didn't do it, I didn't kill the boy." Please don't kill me, I didn't kill him. ”

At 5 p.m., Ginggaew was taken to the execution chamber, but she immediately fell to the ground, whimpering and weak. She could barely stand, and as she approached the execution chamber, she was once again awakened from a coma.

Preparations were well underway, with members of the firing squad working together to send her to the execution frame, tying her waist, shoulders and elbows, while Ginggaew was still crying. Her arms were raised over the beams in a prayerful gesture, but she still struggled, trying to break free, but all in vain. The firing squad pulled a screen to show the location of her heart, and then the executioner loaded the bullet and aimed at the target on the screen.

Ginggaew was still struggling, and normally once prisoners were immobilized on the execution frame, they would give up resisting, but she was different, her cries were suffocating. After the execution, doctors came to check her pulse and retinal response and confirmed that she was dead. Then the convoy quickly untied her straps and placed her on the ground, and she twitched. Although this was not uncommon after execution, they did not pay too much attention and carried Ginggaew into the morgue.

However, the scene inside the morgue suddenly became appalling, and Ginggaew screamed and tried to stand up. This situation immediately alerted the executives. Upon closer examination, they found that her body still retained some signs of life because the bullet had not hit her heart. So, she was sent to the execution rack again, and the second execution was finally successful.

The executioner recalled: "Ginggaew ended up the same as that little boy's, the only difference being that he suffocated in blood instead of dirt. This tragedy is thought-provoking, the wrong choice of a woman and the cruelty of a group of people eventually led to the loss of two lives.
