A Thai man filmed himself killing his baby daughter on Facebook Live, before taking his own life, Thai police say.

The 21-year-old hanged his daughter, and then himself, at a deserted hotel in Phuket on Monday, reportedly after an argument with his wife.

A copy of the video was still available on Facebook on Tuesday afternoon.

Earlier this month, Facebook pledged to review its processes after footage of an American killing a man in Cleveland stayed online for hours.

Relatives of the Thai man, who has not been named, saw the distressing footage and alerted the police – but the authorities arrived too late to save the man and his daughter.

The footage shows the man tying a knot around his daughter’s neck, before dropping her from a rooftop. He then retrieves the body.
