I think we can all agree: A man who exploits a child for sex before beating her to death, dumping her body and going about his normal life like nothing happened, 100% deserves to face ‘hell’ in prison.
We do not need journalists turning a child killing sex predator into a pity party.
This is not an exhaustive collection of horrid headlines around the murder of Donhomla Tunchanok but I wanted to document them anyway.
When men murder women and girls, journalists, sub editors and editors fall over themselves in the rush to turn them into โ€ฆ things.
A ride on mower is used in a femicide – she becomes the MOWER MURDER.
A wheelie bin is used in a femicide – she becomes the WHEELIE BIN MURDER.
A suitcase is used in a femicide – she becomes the SUITCASE MURDER.
Meanwhile, the same media that reduces Donhomla to a suitcase is outdoing each other in humanising the man who allegedly killed her.
We know he drives trucks, we know he lost weight, we know he โ€˜faces hellโ€™ in prison, we know his ‘head has been shaved’, we know he had a โ€˜sad’ life, we know he had a โ€˜lonelyโ€™ life, we know he had a โ€˜quietโ€™ life โ€ฆ is there anything we donโ€™t know about him?
