Angler’s Shock as Fishing Line Reels in Security Guard’s Body
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A man out fishing received the shock of his life when he discovered he had not hooked a fish but the body of a missing security guard. The incident occurred around 08:00 on 29 April, near the beach at Pom Phra Chulachomklao in Moo 5, Laem Fa Pha sub-district, Phra Samut Chedi district, Samut Prakan province. Police investigator Pol Lt Col Thongchai Srisamrong responded to the scene along with a forensic doctor from Phra Samut Chedi Sawatyanon Hospital and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation. The body of a man was found face down in the water, clad in the uniform of a private security company. He was wearing trainers and is believed to have been dead for at least 10–12 hours. No signs of injury or foul play were found on the body. A wallet containing 210 baht in cash, a cash card, a phone pawn receipt, a torch, and a national ID card was recovered. The deceased was identified as Mr. Siri a 48-year-old native of Phon Sawan district, Si Sa Ket province. Mr. Thana a 30-year-old welder, was the first to discover the body. On his day off, he had travelled to the beach for some fishing. While scouting the area, he noticed a piece of blue cloth floating near a collapsed jetty but thought little of it. After casting his line into the same area, he felt a tug and assumed he had hooked a large fish. As he reeled in the line, he realised the hook had snagged on the cloth. He began pulling harder to free the line, only to discover, to his horror, that the hook had latched onto a corpse. Shocked, he called over a nearby scrap collector to confirm what he had found, before alerting the police and rescue services. While authorities conducted a preliminary examination of the body, Mr. Bancha 62, a senior security officer at the deceased’s company, arrived at the scene and confirmed the man was one of his subordinates. He explained that the deceased had been employed at a shipbuilding and repair facility in Phra Samut Chedi for the past six or seven months. His last logged patrols were recorded at 19:00 and 20:00, via a company Line group used to confirm security checks across five designated zones. His last known location was checkpoint 2, a dock area with gangplanks and floating pontoons that shift with the current when boats pass, potentially creating unstable footing. It is believed that the guard may have lost his balance and fallen into the water. Throughout the night, fellow security staff scoured the area in vain. It wasn’t until the following morning that his body was discovered, washed up on the nearby beach. The police recorded the incident and transferred the body to the forensic institute for a post-mortem examination. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-04-30. -

Crime Fugitive Fake Doctor Arrested After Eight Years on the Run for Fatal Injection Incident
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities have arrested the owner of an illegal clinic who administered a fatal injection to a patient eight years ago, later admitting he was not a licensed doctor but had merely worked in healthcare settings. Police from Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), led by Pol Lt Gen Jiraphop Bhuridej, alongside officers from the Special Operations Division, apprehended the suspect, identified only as Wichaya, outside a rural property in Sam Phrao Subdistrict, Mueang District, Udon Thani Province. The charges against Wichaya include causing death through negligence, selling and importing modern pharmaceuticals without authorisation, and practising medicine without a licence. The incident dates back to 4 July 2017, when a woman in Samut Prakan Province filed a police complaint after her husband died following treatment at a clinic in Soi Thetsaban Bang Pu 1. The man, who had sought help for pain in his right upper arm, was diagnosed with muscle inflammation and received a single injection at the clinic, which was later discovered to be owned and operated illegally by Wichaya. The patient’s condition deteriorated rapidly after the treatment. He was rushed to hospital but died shortly afterwards, raising suspicions about the true cause of death. Following the complaint, health officials from the Samut Prakan Provincial Public Health Office and police investigators inspected the clinic. They found it operating without a licensed doctor, stocked with medical equipment, used syringes, and patient records, including that of the deceased man. Investigators also discovered the medication administered, Prednisone, a corticosteroid that must be prescribed and managed carefully. Wichaya admitted to being the clinic owner but denied being a qualified doctor, claiming he had simply worked in a healthcare facility for over a decade before opening the unauthorised practice. The deceased man’s wife confirmed that Wichaya personally examined her husband, administered the fatal injection, and dispensed additional anti-inflammatory and antihistamine medications. Further inquiries revealed that a registered doctor had officially ceased work at the clinic months before the fatal incident, yet Wichaya continued operating illegally. It was also discovered that Wichaya had previously faced similar accusations. After years on the run, police tracked him to Udon Thani, where he had been hiding. Officers arrested him without incident and transferred him to Samut Prakan Provincial Police Station to face legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-04-30. -
