Crime Drug-Addicted Son Arrested After Cutting Motorbike Brakes in Attempt to Harm Parents
Picture courtesy of Amarin. Police in Buriram province have arrested a 29-year-old man accused of repeatedly terrorising his elderly parents, culminating in an alleged attempt to cause them fatal harm by cutting the brake cables on their motorbike. Officers from Non Suwan Police Station were called to investigate after the elderly couple, residents of Non Suwan District, sought urgent assistance. They reported that their son, Mr Manatchai, had been violently unstable due to ongoing drug addiction. According to the parents, he routinely destroyed property, threatened them for money, and became violent when refused. In a deeply troubling revelation, the parents stated, their son deliberately cut the brake lines on the motorcycle they used daily, in what they believe was a calculated attempt to cause a fatal accident. The man is also alleged to have a history of severe domestic abuse. In 2023, while his niece was still a secondary school student, he reportedly assaulted her so badly that she suffered a swollen spleen and bruised kidneys. Although she was hospitalised for a time, long-term complications contributed to her death in late April 2025. He is also said to have carried knives, secretly manufactured firearms in his parents’ home and threatened anyone who confronted him. Police moved to arrest Mr Manatchai and initial urine testing confirmed the presence of narcotics in his system. He confessed to drug use but denied harming his parents or tampering with their vehicle. He did, however, admit to the previous assault on his niece, claiming he had already faced punishment for that offence. He has now been charged with illegal drug use and investigators are gathering further evidence to determine whether additional charges, such as attempted murder or criminal damage, should be filed. When visited at the police station, the suspect’s parents brought food and rice but insisted they would not post bail. “He is still our son,” his mother said, “but we cannot go on living in fear like this. It’s been over ten years of violence and threats. He never changes.” The family expressed relief at the arrest, noting their advanced age and the years of suffering they have endured. They said they still hope their son will eventually overcome his addiction and return to a normal, peaceful life. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-05-15. -

Crime Two Online Gambling Website Admins Arrested; Over 10 Million Baht in Assets Seized
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. Thai police have arrested two administrators behind illegal online gambling websites, seizing assets worth over 10 million baht in a major crackdown that could lead to further high-level arrests. In a press briefing at Nakhon Pathom Provincial Police Headquarters on 14 May, authorities announced the arrest of seven individuals connected to two gambling websites, pananthai and play.surinam888, both reportedly operated from Mueang District in Nakhon Pathom. The suspects include 30-year-old Mr Karakot and 24-year-old Ms Sasiporn, who are believed to be the primary operators of the illicit platforms. Investigations led to arrest warrants being issued, followed by coordinated raids on 10 locations: four in Nakhon Pathom, five in Bangkok, and one in Chonburi. Seized items include: • A red Ford sedan and a grey Ford Ranger pickup truck • One 9mm handgun with 40 rounds of ammunition • Four desktop computers, four laptops, five routers • Two mobile phones and one iPad • 17 bank passbooks and two ATM cards • Various personal items branded with gambling website logos, including tumblers, luggage, blankets, and t-shirts Seven other suspects have also been identified and are under investigation: Mr Thongchai (31), Mr Waratchathorn (30), Mr Charoen (28), Mr Noraphan (25), Mr Phuchong (33), Mr Thanakorn (22), and Ms Nathamon (26). Mr Karakot faces an additional charge in Chonburi for failing to report a change of residence, while Ms Sasiporn has been charged under a warrant issued by the Bangkok Criminal Court. Authorities discovered the website servers were hosted in Nakhon Pathom. Police are now expanding the investigation, focusing on potential links between the gambling network and high-ranking government officials or military personnel. Should such connections be substantiated, further arrest warrants will be issued. The investigation remains ongoing. Authorities are determined to pursue all leads and bring all those involved to justice. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-05-15.
