The arrest was made following an extensive investigation led by Police Lieutenant General Panumas Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, under orders to crack down on foreign nationals committing crimes and living in Thailand. The operation, carried out by Police Colonel Jiraphong Rujiradamrongchai and his team from Immigration Division 3, involved close cooperation with international law enforcement agencies. Authorities received credible intelligence that the suspect, referred to only as Mr. K , for legal reasons, was hiding in Pattaya. A check with relevant agencies confirmed he was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice issued by Israeli authorities. Upon locating him in central Pattaya, officers swiftly moved in to apprehend him. According to Police Major General Chairit Anurit, Mr. K and an accomplice lured their victim to an apartment in Tel Aviv, where they savagely attacked him with glass bottles and stabbed him multiple times in the neck, leaving him with critical injuries. Following the attack, the suspects fled the scene. An Israeli court subsequently issued an arrest warrant for assault causing grievous bodily harm and obstruction of justice, carrying a potential prison sentence of over 23 years. Investigators determined that after learning of his accomplice's arrest, Mr. K fled Israel using a fake passport. He later entered Thailand legally with his real passport in late 2024 and had been residing in Pattaya ever since. Following his arrest, he was charged with overstaying his visa and is now facing deportation proceedings. Thai authorities are working closely with Israeli officials to facilitate his extradition. The Immigration Bureau has reiterated its commitment to ensuring Thailand does not become a haven for international fugitives, vowing continued cooperation with foreign law enforcement agencies. -- 2025-02-04

Picture from responders. A 39-year-old man died after being electrocuted by his own hairdryer while attempting to warm himself during a cold night. The incident occurred in a workers’ camp in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi, on the morning of 3 February. Authorities were alerted to the scene at a metal shack in the worker’s camp, where they found the body of Mr. Jaising Supasorn, who was lying lifeless on his side. The body showed signs of burns and blisters on the right thigh, genital area, and abdomen. A black hairdryer was found plugged in beside his feet, suggesting that he had left the device on and accidentally fallen asleep while using it to alleviate pain from a chronic illness. His wife, 37-year-old Natthaya Ramsri, explained that her husband had been suffering from chronic conditions, including heart disease and fluid buildup in the lungs. She mentioned that he often experienced coldness and would use the hairdryer to warm his body. She believes that after he left the dryer on to warm his legs, he fell asleep, and the appliance short-circuited, causing sparks that led to the fatal shock. Natthaya, who works at a local barbecue restaurant, described how her husband had been unable to walk for the past few months due to his health issues. They had been married for nearly 20 years and have three children together. Despite the sadness of his untimely death, she had mentally prepared herself, given her husband’s deteriorating health condition. Authorities have initiated an investigation into the cause of death, with a post-mortem examination underway to confirm the exact circumstances. -- 2025-02-04

Pictures from responders. A collision occurred on the morning of February 3 when a young man driving a car collided with the rear of a sidecar motorcycle, causing a 72-year-old man to fall into a canal and lose his life. At around 08:30 police were notified of the incident on Phetchakasem Road, heading towards Bangkok, in Ban Khong, Photharam District, Ratchaburi. Authorities, including officers from Photharam Police Station, local rescue teams, and a hospital doctor, arrived at the scene shortly thereafter. The victim, identified as 72-year-old Noo Meunsang, had been riding a sidecar motorcycle, collecting scrap materials for sale. His body was found by the roadside, after being pulled from the water, suffering injuries to his head and right leg, and he was declared dead at the scene. A white Toyota Velos SUV was found crashed into a tree nearby, with the driver, 33-year-old Surasak from Bang Pae, Ratchaburi, sustaining only minor injuries. He was subsequently treated at Photharam Hospital. In the nearby canal, emergency responders found the sidecar motorcycle submerged, with remnants of metal, a broken bicycle, and plastic bottles floating in the water. Initial investigations suggest that the young driver, who was trailing the sidecar, failed to brake in time after the motorcycle slowed down and collided with the rear of the vehicle. This caused the sidecar to be knocked into the canal, leading to the elderly man’s death. The police are continuing their investigation into the cause of the collision. Meanwhile, the body of the deceased has been sent for an autopsy before being handed over to the family. -- 2025-02-04

Probably due to the effects of smoke inhalation, which will delay a person’s thinking ability, as it reduces the oxygen levels in the brain while introducing harmful toxins like carbon monoxide and cyanide. These toxins interfere with oxygen in the bloodstream, leading to hypoxia, which impairs cognitive functions such as concentration and decision-making. Irritation from smoke on the respiratory system will also cause dizziness, headaches, and confusion, further slowing down mental processing and eventually these effects can lead to unconsciousness. A person may be partially or completely unaware of the effects of smoke inhalation and then it is too late. Most casualties in a fire die from smoke inhalation long before the flames reach them. The father exposed himself to ensure the safety of his children and hence paid the ultimate price.
