Somkid Pumpuang, known as the “Jack the Ripper of Thailand,” is a convicted serial killer who murdered multiple women. In 2005, he was sentenced to life in prison for murdering five women, all of whom were masseuses or karaoke hostesses, but was released early in 2019 for “good behavior.” Just six months after his release, he murdered another woman, leading to a nationwide manhunt and his swift recapture.
