Thai court delivers justice: Cyanide serial killer sentenced to death

[snoop1130]

 

The Criminal Court of Thailand delivered a nail-biting verdict today, sentencing the notorious cyanide serial killer to death for her chilling role in the murder of 14 innocent people. The Criminal Court wasn’t pulling any punches, as her accomplices didn’t get off lightly either.

 

The cyanide serial killer’s ex-police officer husband, Police Lieutenant Colonel Witun Rangsiwutthaphon, has been given a one-year jail sentence while the murderer’s lawyer, Thanicha Eksuwannawat or “Lawyer Patch” got two years in prison.

 

Today, November 20, the Criminal Court scheduled a reading of the verdict for the murderer, Sararat “Am” Rangsiwuthaporn, also known as Am Cyanide, and Pol. Lt. Col. Witun and Lawyer Patch.

 

The courtroom on Ratchadaphisek Road was electric as families of the victims, including Siriporn Khanwong’s grieving mother, Thongpin, awaited the verdict. Clutching a photo of her beloved daughter, an emotional Thongpin vowed to seek justice, revealing the gaping hole left in her life since Siriporn’s untimely death.

 

“I want justice. I don’t want my child to die in vain. Don’t trust others easily, even those close to you. People can’t afford to hurt each other to the brink of death.”

 

 

The chilling case has gripped the nation since springing into the spotlight 19 months ago. Am Cyanide was accused of coldly poisoning her 32 year old friend Siriporn with potassium cyanide during what should have been a peaceful outing to release fish at a Ratchaburi pier.

 

Siriporn tragically died, allegedly while her so-called friend watched on, pocketing her valuables worth over 154,000 baht.

 

The court ruled decisively on the case, which saw a staggering 15 related instances brought to prosecutors. After the initial incident on April 14, 2023, Am Cyanide reportedly cunningly turned over Siriporn’s possessions to cover her tracks, with her legal team and spouse playing crucial roles in trying to shield her from justice.

 

All three, bold enough to deny their charges and fight the accusations in court, were met with the unwavering arm of the law. Am Cyanide languishes in the Central Women’s Correctional Institution, while her co-defendants initially found themselves temporarily bailed out at 100,000 baht each.

 

Matchicon reported that the court has yet to revisit 14 other cases involving the Thai cyanide serial killer, adding the suspects will likely appeal against their sentences.
