Around a hundred people ordered cyanide online from this company with police having got all their names and among them are a famous actress and a nurse.

Those who purchased cyanide must have a purpose for doing so and if any suspicions arise the buyers will be summoned for questioning, he said.

 

So what is a legitimate purpose for buying cyanide? And why is it available online to anyone?

That is the question of the day. What do normal everyday people use cyanide for.  Looks like this investigation has opened up a full can of worms.

Leaning on the word "factory" why would they sell cyanide to public individuals?

Twist in Thai cyanide serial killer case: Actress and nurses investigated for buying same poison as killer
by Petch Petpailin

There has been another twist in the Thai cyanide serial killer case. Not only has the serial killer’s husband been charged with aiding and abetting her crimes and released on bail but the Royal Thai Police (RTP) is investigating the purchase of some cyanide by a famous Thai actress and 10 nurses, who reportedly bought the poison from the same lot number as the killer.

 

Sararat “Am” Rangsiwuthaporn, the Thai cyanide serial killer, has been charged with the murder of 10 of the 14 victims so far. The RTP has finished gathering evidence in the other four cases and it is reported that Am will be charged for those as well.

One case remains unresolved, the mysterious death of a 37 year old Thai woman named Monthathip “Sai” Khao-in. Sai’s mother filed a complaint with the police that her daughter came back from abroad and died after a meeting with Am. The case is under the responsibility of Thong Lor Police Station.

 

Am’s ex-husband, Police Lieutenant Colonel Withun “Off” Rangsiwuthaporn, was found to be supporting his ex-wife in her criminal actions and was arrested on three charges, including misappropriation, fraud, and forgery of documents.

The Nakhon Pathom Criminal Court temporarily released Off on bail for 100,000 baht yesterday. Off insisted to the court that he was not involved in the murders but confessed he knew about the assets and money. Off has to wear an electronic monitoring (EM) tag.

 

According to the Daily News, Off visited Am at the Central Woman Correctional Institution in Bangkok with the RTP Deputy Commissioner Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn to convince his ex-wife to admit to her actions and confess everything to the police.

 

Big Joke also reported to the media yesterday that officers discovered 10 nurses and a famous Thai actress bought cyanide from the same lot number as Am. They have been summoned for questioning on Monday, May 8 to answer questions about their actions.

Agreed. You'd think you'd need some sort of licence to obtain this stuff, no?

So Police Lieutenant Colonel Withun “Off” Rangsiwuthaporn knew about the assets and money, but never questioned how they were acquired...

My worry is what have the 10 nurses been doing with this substance. Each nurse should be investigated, espically where suspicious deaths have occurred whilst they were on duty

Actress to be questioned by Thai police over her purchase of cyanide

 

Preechaya Pongthananikorn (Ice)

 

Police will summon an actress for questioning next Monday, after it was discovered that she had bought cyanide from the same lot as that obtained by a serial murder suspect.

 

The mother of the actress, who was identified police as Preechaya Pongthananikorn, reportedly told the police that the actress bought the cyanide online on April 25th for about 3,000 baht and the chemical was delivered two days later.

 

She insisted that the cyanide was intended for poisoning reptiles, such as cobras and monitor lizards, in the back yard of their house, adding that some of the reptiles had attacked their dogs.

Since it isn't a restricted chemical, everyone is able to buy it, and 100 people among a population of 70 million I would hardly call everyday people

What would you call them if they are not your everyday type of person? Are they Chemists?, Gold purifiers?, Science instructors?.  I am confused.  The 100 people are the ones who bought out of the same batch as Aem Cyanide, so we have no idea now as to how much cyanide is sold and to whom.

Sodium Cyanide has many legal uses, look it up on Wikipedia.

 

It is not a restricted chemical, so everyone can buy it online.

 

There are 100 people of a population of 70 million that have bought, and other than the actrice, who already explained what she intended to use it for, no other names have been made public.

 

So other than your conspiracy loving self, what evidence do you have that the other 99 are just every day people, and not businesses who had a legal purpose for it?

Thai actress insists she was unaware that possessing cyanide without a permit is illegal

 

 

Actress Preechaya Pongthananikorn has offered a public apology for ordering cyanide online to poison snakes and monitor lizards in the backyard of her house, not knowing that it is illegal to possess the lethal chemical without a permit.

 

In her interview during the popular TV talk show “Hone Krasae”, together with her mother, the actress wept as she apologised for her mistake. She said that one day, while watching a TV news program, she and her Swiss boyfriend had argued about cyanide, as her boyfriend said that possessing the lethal chemical is illegal in Switzerland, while she insisted that it can be bought online in Thailand.

 

Preechaya said that, on April 25th, she ordered potassium cyanide online and paid 3,132 baht for it, adding that she thought she might have been cheated. Two days later, however, the chemical was delivered by parcel to her house.

Better double check your sources, you need a permit to have it here in Thailand as possessing cyanide without a license is illegal in Thailand, per the above posted article.

That is one source.

 

There is an article in the other newspaper, dated 4 May, that says purchasing small amounts is NOT illegal, and only a license is needed when purchasing a substantial amount.

It's incredible that the question of the legality of possessing it has only just come to light. Not once has it been mentioned re the "Em" case. And now this!

[degrub]

It is just the method for murder in the “Am” cases. Quantity possessed is secondary, lesser charge, if relevant

Not really much of a twist.  Unless they're all cyanide murders as well.

Of course she was unaware. It's not her job to know all restricted substances in Thailand. It's the seller's obligation to check if she has the relevant permits to own the chemical. 

[SeaBee]

Incidentally, monitor lizards are a protected species in Thailand so that's another layer of illegality there.
