A man in Thailand broadcast himself murdering his 11-month-old daughter in a live video on Facebook late Monday before turning off the camera and hanging himself, the police said.

The four-minute recording of the man, Wuttisan Wongtalay, 20, hanging the girl from a building on the resort island of Phuket spread quickly, with the mother of the child ultimately seeing the video, according to the Thai police. It was online for about 20 hours.

The gruesome case is the latest in a string of violent crimes that have been broadcast over Facebook to a wide audience, sometimes of millions. The killing raised debate in Thailand and is likely to bring further pressure on Facebook, which has struggled to manage the huge number of broadcasts on its site.

In an emailed statement, a Facebook spokesman called the case “appalling,” adding, “There is absolutely no place for content of this kind on Facebook, and it has now been removed.”

In Thailand, there was broad anger over the crime, which the police said appeared to have been driven by jealousy. Mr. Wongtalay had fought with his wife the night before the killing after searching her phone and accusing her of having another relationship.

The video showed Mr. Wongtalay fixing a noose around his daughter’s neck and then dropping her off the side of a building. After a burst of crying, he climbed over the side to retrieve her body. His subsequent suicide was not shown online.

A second video of the police taking both of the bodies down that night remained on Facebook.

What a disgusting fad! Hope it's going to be out of fashion soon. Heartbreaking to see them grieving over the child's body

Vid is in death section. What a horrible thing to do to your own child. Can't even imagine how sick of a human being you have to be to do that.

It's normal to do suicide yourself, but please, do it on Your Own! (FB included)
What is going fucking on with Facebook?? Just cancel the live-killing-stupidity already, real people dont care about what you can or cant do in social medias, its all about the attention!

Someone with better internet search skills than me please help. Do we know if Wuttisan Wongtalay had any previous priors or run-ins with the law??? Or any documented problems from hospital or other health care professionals?

The left always goes straight to "ban facebook live" which imo is INCREDIBLY foolish. I always go straight to "why was this man walking the streets free"?
