Prosecutors are set to review 14 additional cases against Sararat “Aem Cyanide” Rangsiwuthaporn, who is accused of poisoning multiple victims with cyanide, according to Department of Criminal Litigation Director-General Sanjai Chanphong.

 

Mr Sanjai stated that nearly 40,000 pages of documents related to the cases have been submitted by senior police officials, Pol Lt Gen Thanayut Wuthijarasdamrong and Pol Col Anek Taosuparb. These cases involve 14 victims and stem from investigations into Sararat’s alleged serial killings.

 

Prosecutors will determine whether a single individual or a working group will oversee the case review. No timeline has been set for this process.

 

Sararat, 37, is currently in custody after the Criminal Court sentenced her to death on 20 November for the murder of her friend, Siriporn Khanwong, using potassium cyanide. She was convicted of premeditated murder for theft and attempting to cover up the crime.


The court also sentenced Sararat’s ex-husband, former police officer Withoon Rangsiwuthaporn, 40, to one year and four months in prison. Her lawyer, Thanicha Aeksuwannawat, 36, received a two-year jail term for helping conceal evidence. Both were released on 100,000-baht bail.

 

The first case involving Siriporn’s death led to a broader investigation revealing a total of 15 victims—14 fatalities and one survivor.

 

Pol Lt Gen Thanayut said Provincial Police Region 7, along with the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), has compiled comprehensive evidence, including testimonies and expert analyses, to support prosecution. He emphasised that Sararat’s actions were premeditated and cold-blooded, adding that further victims may have been at risk had she not been apprehended.

 

The investigations into these additional cases were prompted by the initial court ruling on 20 November, which highlighted a clear motive and method in Sararat’s alleged crimes, reported Bangkok Post.
