A 64 year old woman from Kamphaeng Phet province, who believes her daughter is the 15th cyanide-poisoning victim of Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, also known as the Thai cyanide serial killer, met with Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police investigators yesterday, stated a police source.

 

The woman responded to a letter from the police and reported to the deputy national police chief’s team of investigators at the Police Club on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. She provided information about her daughter Montathip, 37 years old, who died in Bangkok seven years ago. The woman reportedly told the police that she personally suspected Sararat to be responsible for her daughter’s death, despite not having any evidence to back this belief. She expressed her gratitude to the deputy national police chief for accepting her daughter’s case for investigation, hoping that Montathip would receive justice.

 

CSD deputy commander Pol Col Anek Taosuparp revealed that a meeting took place yesterday, Monday, May 1, to discuss the cases involving Sararat, stating that the investigation was approximately 80% complete. Regarding the 33 year old victim, Siriporn Khanwong, Pol. Col. Anek reported that no evidence had been discovered to implicate anyone other than Sararat.

A real can of worms in this case, I wonder how long she has been free to do the things that are only now coming to light.

It does seem strange that perfectly healthy people can just drop dead one day, and yet not be fully investigated by police or hospitals as to the cause of death.

They are just wrapped up, sent to the  temple and lets get on with the ceremony.

Cases closed, which unfortunately allowed this women to continue her activities.

I imagine a lot of relatives will be urgently looking to see if a loved one's path crossed the killer's.......they can smell the scent of bitter almonds mixed with a hint of compensation.

A close relative died back home about 4 days ago and the GF is amazed that I haven’t cut my holiday short and already flown back to the UK on the first available flight? I’m trying to explain to her that despite the person having advanced Alzheimer’s and dying in a hospital, a separate doctor still has to sign off that the death was from natural causes before the body can even be released and funeral planning can start?  She’s looking at me as if I have 2 heads and stating that in Thailand they’d wrap you up and bundle you out the door to the temple the very same day!

You'd never expect any danger from her judging by her looks. It's scary to think a serial killer could be right next to you at the mall or something.

 

People are often wary of men, I think due to portrayal of males in the media - and women are generally assumed innocent.

The Thai mentality often is that the person is dead, nothing can be done about it now so let's move on. Saves taking responsibility, saves having to work to  investigate thoroughly. It's their way of thinking and in a way it makes sense (different culture, different attitude to death) but it can, as we see, have consequences.

Agreed. Why were no autopsies performed on suspicious deaths ? Had that occurred and records of the autopsies maintained in a data base, I would think the pattern would have been recognized much sooner. Although during the pandemic, lots of deaths were "credited" to covid automatically.

A friend of mine here died in what I think were suspicious circumstances. He was elderly and his wife simply wanted to get rid of him, I think. She visited him only once during the week he was in hospital, crying out in agony before he died. I suspected poisoning after he survived 'falling down the stairs' at home, and the (state) hospital claimed he was tested for poisons. Which I very much doubt, and for which poisons anyway?

Did you report your suspicions to the police or any of his family members? If your friend was expat did you relay your suspicions to his embassy?

His half-Thai daughter came over from London and dealt with everything. It was she who raised the question of poisoning with the hospital, prompted by me and, as I said, it was brushed off. If the hospital said they tested and found nothing, then what? No point in hitting your head against a brick wall.
