Man Kills Infant Daughter on Facebook Live, Then Kills Himself

Recently, a 75-year-old man was killed for no reason via Facebook Live, and now a man in Thailand has killed his 11-month-old daughter and himself via the platform's live feature. According to the police, the bodies of Wuttisan Wongtalay and his child were found in an abandoned hotel in Phuket after news broke of the horrific video. The Facebook Live broadcast was made on Monday, and video from the broadcast was not taken down until Tuesday afternoon. Police Colonel Jirasek Siemsak said "He felt neglected by his wife because they had been fighting, so he took his 11-month-old daughter to the site of the crime which is the abandoned hotel," Jirasak said. "Then we found the bodies hanging off the hotel." Police have not questioned the widow of Wongtalay, because the woman is currently grieving the loss of her child and husband. Jirasek gave thoughts on the mother's loss, saying "The mother of the child was crying and was very sad. I am also very sad. It is a personal dispute, and they were still very young."

This unfortunate broadcast took place after Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg issued a statement last week saying that his company had "a lot of work" to do in terms of addressing the Facebook Live problem. Last year, a Chicago man was shot in his neighborhood while broadcasting on Facebook Live.
