Yesterday, Thailand’s national police force made significant progress in cracking down on an infamous call centre gang, implicated in a shocking triple-murder case that sent shockwaves through the community of Pak Nam.

 

The call centre gang is accused of defrauding a Thai man, leading him to murder his family and himself. 22 warrants have been issued, with ten arrests made so far.

 

The case originated from the tragic event on August 28, when a man named Sanit in a fit of insanity used a knife to kill his wife and two children, aged 13 and 11 years old, before attempting to kill himself. The incident occurred in the jurisdiction of the Bang Kaeo Police Station in Samut Prakan Province.

 

The atrocity was sparked by financial stress, stemming from debt incurred from a car purchase guarantee for a neighbour amounting to 800,000 baht. With the Legal Execution Department poised to seize his home, Sanit was also burdened by his wife borrowing money through an application, which resulted in them being defrauded by the call centre gang for over 1.7 million baht. This series of events caused great distress and outcry among the public.
