Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 39-year-old man has been arrested for the fatal shooting of a Phetchabun native in a rented room in Samut Sakhon province. The suspect claimed he acted in a fit of rage after the victim allegedly stole from him and assaulted his family. The incident took place at around 10:10 on 28 May in Om Noi Subdistrict, Krathum Baen District. The victim, Mr Suchart, 38, was shot once in the right cheek with the bullet exiting through the left side of his neck. He succumbed to his injuries shortly after. Police from Samut Sakhon Provincial Police, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Teeradej Athipakakul, coordinated the arrest on 30 May, of the suspect, Mr Teerawit, also known as “Ek”, following his voluntary surrender. Officers from Krathum Baen Police Station and the Provincial Investigation Division were also involved in the operation. Mr Teerawit reportedly contacted the provincial police commander directly to arrange his surrender. After turning himself in, he confessed to the shooting during questioning. According to police, Mr Teerawit stated that he had acted in retaliation after the victim, Mr Suchart, allegedly committed theft and physically assaulted members of his family. He claimed that this provoked him to use a firearm in anger, resulting in the fatal shooting. Following the interrogation, police formally charged Mr Teerawit with murder. He was transferred to Krathum Baen Police Station for further legal proceedings. Authorities are continuing their investigation and will collect additional evidence to establish the full circumstances surrounding the case. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-31. -

Crime 3 Female Municipal Officers Arrested for Forging Documents to Illegally Withdraw Money
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Three female municipal employees in Phichit province have been arrested at their workplace after being found guilty of forging documents using the identities of vulnerable citizens to fraudulently obtain credit cards and cash withdrawals totalling over 2 million baht. One suspect admitted to using the money to pay off underground debt and gamble on online lotteries. The arrests were carried out by a team led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Witiya Sriprasertphap, Commander of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), in cooperation with senior officers from Division 4 of the Crime Suppression Division and representatives of Kiatnakin Bank. The suspects, Ms. Nucharee (42), a financial officer, Ms. Julaporn (55), a general affairs officer and Ms. Amornrat (51), a data entry assistant, were apprehended under arrest warrants issued by the Criminal Court on 27 May 2025. They face charges of fraud, forgery and use of forged documents and misuse of electronic banking cards belonging to others. Seized from the suspects’ municipal office were 507 debt notices in other people’s names, 116 credit and cash cards belonging to other individuals, 35 sets of photocopied ID cards and household registrations and two desktop computers. According to police, the suspects began the scheme in mid-2024. Posing as government agents offering aid, they approached vulnerable citizens, including disabled individuals, bedridden patients, and low-income families and convinced them to hand over personal identification and banking documents. The suspects then used image editing software to superimpose the victims’ faces onto official government employee templates and fabricated income certificates and bank statements, falsely portraying the victims as salaried civil servants with substantial financial activity. These forged documents were submitted to various financial institutions to apply for personal loan credit cards. Once approved, the cards, issued under the victims’ names, were sent to the suspects’ office, where they were used to withdraw cash for personal use. Pol. Col. Eksit Pansita, one of the lead investigators, said suspicions arose when Kiatnakin Phatra Bank and Kasikornbank noticed unusually high volumes of loan applications, around 40 cases, linked to the same municipal office in Phichit. Investigations revealed that most applicants were unaware their identities had been used, prompting the banks to alert the CIB. It was discovered that the suspects had exploited the victims’ identities to withdraw funds, typically up to 50,000 baht per card, since 2024. The total damages currently stand at approximately 2 million baht. To avoid detection, the trio made minimum monthly payments on the accounts to conceal abnormal activity. During questioning, Ms. Nucharee admitted her involvement, stating she needed the money to repay underground debts and fund online gambling. The other two suspects denied the charges. All three have been transferred to the Crime Suppression Division for prosecution. Mr. Napat Thepthai, a Kiatnakin Bank representative, issued a public warning: “Personal identification documents, especially ID cards, are vital when applying for loans. Handing them over to others comes with serious risks, as this case demonstrates.” He advised any potential victims to urgently contact the banks involved. If found to be innocent, the fraudulent contracts would be cancelled, credit histories cleared and legal action taken against the offenders. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-31. -
