Bangkok - Thai police arrested a 23-year-old man suspected of being a serial rapists of women, cows and banana trees, media reports said Tuesday.
Ekkarat Dapngern was arrested by a squad of 10 policemen Monday afternoon in his hideaway in Nakorn Sri Thammarat province, 560 kilometres south of Bangkok, said the Phuchadgarn daily newspaper.
There were several warrants out for Ekkarat's arrest on rape charges and numerous complaints from irate farmers that he had assaulted their cows and banana trees. A 5,000 baht (147 dollars) reward was offered for his arrest.
Police found sniffing glue, several photos of women and a few love letters addressed to 'nong wua,' or 'little sister cow,' in Ekkarat's shack.
Asked why he assaulted cows, Ekkarat reportedly answered, 'Anyone who has had sex with a cow knows there is nothing odd about it at all.'
The maximum jail sentence for rape in Thailand is four years.
