'Woman lied about being robbed by taxi driver'

By The Nation

 

 

A woman who claimed she was robbed by a taxi driver in Bangkok early Wednesday has admitted to filing a false complaint with police, a senior police officer said on Thursday.
 

Pol Maj-General Thirapat Wongratpithak, commander of the Metropolitan Police Division 4, said Thongprakai Suksriraj, 26, “admitted during the interrogation that she had made up the story”.

 

“Her wounds were self-inflicted with an eyebrow tweezer. Now, police are waiting for medical results on whether she also used drugs.”

 

Thongprakai had field a complaint at Lat Prao Police Station at 3.45am on Wednesday, saying she was robbed of her handbag with Bt14,000 in cash at the Nida intersection while taking a taxi from an entertainment venue in the Ratchadaphisek area to her condominium in Seri Thai.

 

A police source said the investigators doubted her account and interrogated her for hours before taking her for a medical check-up to Nopparat Hospital.

 

The source added that investigators also checked footage from security cameras at the intersection and did not see the robbery incident.

 

Thirapat said scrutiny of footage from security cameras along the route found that the woman did take a taxi but she went straight to her condominium and did not stop at the intersection to withdraw money from an ATM as claimed.

 

The footage at the condo showed that she had got off the taxi and gone inside alone and she emerged with a friend about 30 minutes later and went to the police station.

 

Thirapat said police will hold a press conference later today and announce charges against the woman.

[colinneil]

Took the police long enough to find out she was telling porkies.

TV members were on to it straight away.

She went out got p++sed, spent to much money, then though, ohh s++t what should i do now.

 

Makes up a pathetic story about being robbed, disgusting woman, could have made things very difficult for the taxi driver.

She's not the sharpest pair of tweezers in the beauty case, is she?

On the original thread, some posters called it a fake claim. Kudos.

After spending years in LOS (acronym with variable meanings) you learn to know one when you see one

False accusers should receive the same sentence as the (supposed) perpetrator would have received.

She should be sued for sullying the good name of taxi drivers.

...another normal-looking woman that can create an elaborate psycho tale painting her as a victim....

 

....everyone should keep that in mind....

 

....it must happen 10's to 100's of thousands of times a day....to greater and lesser degrees...

Even though she appears to have falsified the claims, the above statement from the police is a bit extreme, denying her medical treatment without knowing what she was on during an interrogation.

Those self inflicted scratches/scars should serve as a permanent reminder of what an idiot she is

Scary. Imagine having a girlfriend like that? Scarier.

What makes you think that she"was on" something?

 

How do you know police did not ask her whether she was taking medicines, prescribed or otherwise, or illegal substances?

Those scratches, made with an eyebrow tweezers, look too superficial to leave scars.
