Ms. Daranee was found tied up with her mouth sealed with tape in the back seat and was immediately rescued.

 

During questioning, Mr. Rattapong admitted that he had orchestrated the abduction due to jealousy. He revealed that after breaking up with Ms. Daranee, he was upset when he learned she had started a new relationship. Pretending to need assistance, he asked her to meet him at a convenience store near Soi Satsan Tabaem 4 on Pracha Uthit 90 Road in Samut Prakan Province.

 

When Ms. Daranee arrived, Mr. Rattapong and Mr. Pitiphum forced her into the car, tying her hands and feet. The struggle inside the vehicle drew attention from locals, prompting the police intervention.
