Crime Mother Arrested After Abandoning Newborn on Roadside.
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 32-year-old woman has been arrested after abandoning her newborn daughter in a rucksack on the side of a busy road in Samut Prakan province. The infant was discovered alive the following day, having survived exposure to heavy rain. The baby girl was found shortly after 07:30 on the 17 July, by a local resident collecting recyclables near the Khlong Bangkasi bridge in the Bang Pla area. Noticing a black backpack left suspiciously by the roadside, the man unzipped it and was shocked to find a newborn child inside. He immediately rushed the baby to his home and alerted police and emergency responders. Rescue teams from the Naruebodindra emergency unit and the Ruamkatanyu Foundation responded swiftly and transferred the child to Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodindra Hospital. Miraculously, despite being left out overnight in harsh weather, the infant was reported to be in good health. Following the discovery, police launched an urgent investigation, reviewing extensive CCTV footage. Cameras captured a woman leaving a room in the Thai Prakan Village area of Bang Sao Thong at around 20:15 on 16 July. She was seen placing a backpack in the front basket of a motorcycle and later stopping on the bridge, where she left the bag before riding away. Officers from Bang Phli Police Station identified and detained the woman, named as Ms. Ploy, a native of Sisaket Province. She confessed to abandoning her baby, claiming she had concealed her pregnancy from her family and delivered the baby alone in her rented room. According to her statement, the child’s father had ended the relationship early in her pregnancy. “I used emergency contraception and we were careful, but I got pregnant anyway,” she reportedly told investigators. “I was terrified and didn’t want my family to know. I gave birth on my own on 16 July and cut the umbilical cord myself.” Ms. Ploy said she left the baby in a location where she believed someone would quickly find her, near where lorry drivers often park overnight. “I stopped and looked at her, told her I was sorry, but I couldn’t keep her. Then I went back to check from the other side of the road, but I’d already made up my mind.” The incident came as a complete shock to Ms. Ploy’s extended family. Her aunt told reporters the family had suspected she was pregnant, but Ms. Ploy had denied it, claiming weight gain. “We only found out the truth when we recognised her and the motorbike from news footage,” she said. The family now wishes to raise the baby themselves, though legal procedures are still ongoing. Police have charged Ms. Ploy under Section 306 of the The Criminal Code for abandoning a child under the age of nine. The offence carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison, a fine of up to 60,000 baht, or both. Authorities said her actions, while grave, do not meet the legal threshold for attempted murder due to the evident intent for the child to be found. Pol. Col. Pairoj Phetphloy, superintendent of Bang Phli Police Station, confirmed that officers acted swiftly on the case due to its seriousness and public concern. “We’ve handled this with urgency,” he said. “Fortunately, the baby is now safe and in care.” The case has triggered a debate about the need for better social services for single mothers and the stigma surrounding unplanned pregnancies.

Crime Drunken Man Accidentally Shoots Wife in the Hip After Motorbike Hits Pothole
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 39-year-old woman is recovering in hospital after being accidentally shot in the hip by her husband, who was carrying a homemade gun while riding pillion on a motorbike. The firearm discharged when the vehicle hit a pothole, police said. The incident occurred at around 02:30 on 18 July in Nong Na Kham subdistrict, Udon Thani. Local police were alerted by Udon Thani Hospital’s emergency team after the woman was rushed in with a gunshot wound. The victim, Ms. Janejira, was found to have a large wound on her right hip, with X-rays revealing ten shotgun pellets embedded in the flesh. Residue around the wound suggested a close-range discharge. Her husband, Mr. Chainarong, 30, remained at her side at the emergency unit, claiming the shooting was unintentional. Chainarong, who was visibly intoxicated at the time, told police that he and his wife had attended a small drinking gathering with friends at a nearby dormitory. When it was time to return home, he was too drunk to drive, so his wife took the wheel of their motorbike, with him riding pillion. While riding through a shortcut in Soi Nong Sai 1, the motorcycle reportedly hit a pothole. Chainarong said the shotgun pistol, he was carrying in his trouser pocket discharged accidentally, striking his wife. After she told him she had been shot, he took control of the bike and drove back to the dormitory to seek help from friends, who contacted emergency services. Police from Muang Udon Thani Police Station, however, were not fully convinced by his initial account and took Chainarong into custody for questioning after he had sobered up. CCTV footage confirmed that the couple had left the dormitory around 01:20 with Chainarong returning alone at 01:28 seeking help. Later in the morning, police searched the couple’s friends residence, where they discovered a homemade shotgun pistol and a used 12-gauge cartridge hidden inside the home. Chainarong admitted to owning the weapon, stating he had purchased it in Bangkok for 2,500 baht due to safety concerns while working in Udon Thani, where he claimed there were many local youths. “I always carry it for protection. Last night, I took it with me while drinking with friends and kept it in my trouser pocket,” he said. “On the way back, when the bike hit a pothole, the gun went off. I didn’t mean to shoot her. I feel terrible about what happened.” Chainarong added that he had hidden the weapon in a friend’s room before taking his wife to hospital. He denied any argument had taken place and insisted the incident was an accident. Police have charged him with illegal possession of a firearm and causing injury through negligence. He remains in custody pending further investigation and legal proceedings. Fortunately, Ms. Janejira’s condition is now stable, although she remains in pain due to the embedded pellets. Chainarong said he had been allowed to visit her in hospital and apologised, expressing relief that she had survived. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-07-19 -
