Description

He was supposed to be gone forever.
Sentenced for the murders of five women in 2005, Somkid Pumpuang — known as Thailand’s Jack the Ripper — charmed his way into reduced sentences, convinced officials he was a model prisoner, and walked free in 2019.

Within six months, another woman was dead.

This is a remastered and retold version of our very first episode. With new research, updated production, and deeper storytelling, we revisit the case that shocked Thailand — and ask how a system meant to deliver justice instead handed a serial killer back his freedom.
