Thailand: Man kills baby daughter, self live on Facebook
Phuket, Apr 26 (IBNS): A Thai man murdered her daughter and later committed suicide, with the entire saga being recorded live on Facebook, reports said.
The incident took place on Monday at a deserted hotel in Phuket, Thailand.
Police said that the man hanged himself after hanging his daughter, following an argument with his wife.
The murder footage was available online for hours but was taken down following a request by the Thai Ministry of Digital Economy.
Reacting to the incident, a Facebook statement read, "This is an appalling incident and our hearts go out to the family of the victim. There is absolutely no place for content of this kind on Facebook and it has now been removed."
Earlier this year, a similar live footage led to the arrest of three men for gang-raping a woman in Uppsala, Sweden.
Over the years, Facebook Live has been used to stream death, rape, abuse and animal abuse, inviting backlash from social media users.
"We prioritise reports with serious safety implications for our community, and are working on making that review process go even faster," a Facebook executive's blog read following the live streaming of US killing.
The company had said that it is "constantly exploring ways that new technologies can help us make sure Facebook is a safe environment."
