‘Am Cyanide’: The story of Thailand’s female serial-murder suspect

[webfact]

Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn

Police have launched an investigation into what they suspect is Thailand’s first female serial killer. The number of her alleged victims rose over the past week as more people came forward to voice their suspicions.

 

Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, 36, was arrested on April 25 after police were alerted to the death of her friend, 32-year-old Siriporn Khanwong. As of press time, the investigation had expanded to cover as many as 14 deaths and one suspected survivor of poisoning. Cyanide has been identified as the likely murder weapon, and money as the motive.

 

Background of suspect

 

Sararat, nicknamed “Am”, is a graduate of Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University just west of Bangkok. Lecturers recall nothing out of the ordinary about her looks or behavior during her university years. Sararat majored in public relations and completed her studies in 2009.

 

She had reportedly been married to a policeman, Pol Lt-Colonel Witoon Rangsiwuthaporn, until last year. The couple had two children together.

 

Residents of the Kanchanaburi police flats where the couple used to live said Sararat was reserved and only talked to well-off police families.

 

At least two of her suspected victims are policewomen.

 

Late last year, Sararat became the common-law wife of Suttisak Poonkwan. He died on March 12 and police have now listed him as a potential poisoning victim.

 

Sararat was four-months’ pregnant at the time of her arrest.
