Somsak Pornnarai (Thai: สมศักดิ์ พรนารายณ์) or Saksit Khamsai (Lao: ສັກສິດ ຄຳໄຊ;[citation needed] 1962 – 30 April 1999) was a Laotian murderer, serial rapist and self-confessed serial killer who was convicted, sentenced to death and later executed for raping and murdering a 15-year-old teenager in Loei Province, Thailand.
After realizing that it was someone who was supposedly famous in the area, Somsak - with the help of some acquaintanes - acquired a fake Thai passport under the name "Saksit Khamsai" and fled to the Nakhon Ratchasima Province in Thailand.
However, before he could settle in, his sexual urges overtook him, leading him to travel to the nearby Chiang Khan district in search of a victim.
[2] There, he raped and attempted to kill a tricycle driver in the forest behind the Ban Na Sam School, but the victim survived.
When she woke up, he put his hand over her mouth and asked to sleep with her, but Jarunee refused and attempted to break free from his grasp.
[1] After finding Jarunee's corpse, her younger sister called the police and said that she had seen Somsak walking out of the house carrying a bag.
[2] Considering him the prime suspect, the local authorities searched for him until 4:30 PM, when they received a tip from a citizen who had seen Somsak at the bus stop in Chiang Khan.
Somsak subsequently admitted that he was an illegal immigrant from Laos and that he acquired a fake Thai passport by paying a bribe to a corrupt official.
Somsak's last meal consisted of plain rice, tofu soup with minced pork, khanom mo kaeng and a bottle of water.
