Mystery Surrounds Murder of Unknown Man Found in Krabi Forest
UPDATE Former Village Assistant Arrested for Fatal Shooting in Krabi Picture courtesy of CH7 In Krabi province, police have arrested a former village assistant headman for the fatal shooting of a man suspected of stealing rubber scraps. The body of the victim, later identified as Mr. Suriya, also known as “Chaeng,” aged 35, was discovered on the Southern Seaboard Road in Moo 3, Ao Luek Nuea subdistrict, Ao Luek district. The condition of the corpse suggested he had been dead for at least five to six days. Investigators found ten spent 9mm bullet casings at the scene, as well as a makeshift shelter about 20 metres away. Relatives of the victim had previously reported him missing to police in Plai Phraya district. Following an intensive investigation, officers arrested Mr. Preecha, a former assistant village headman, at a petrol station in Ao Luek. A 9mm handgun was seized during the arrest. The suspect confessed to the killing, claiming he had suffered repeated thefts of rubber scraps from his plantation, each time losing approximately one sack of material. On the night of 13 March, he allegedly set up a stakeout and spotted the victim arriving on a motorcycle to steal from the plantation. Mr. Preecha stated that he shouted for the victim to stop and fired warning shots. When the victim fled, he continued firing until he later discovered the man had died. He then fled the scene before being apprehended by police. Authorities have charged the suspect with murder and illegal possession of a firearm as investigations continue. -- 2025-03-27 -

Trump’s Order Mandating Proof of Citizenship for Voter Registration Sparks Legal Concerns
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that dramatically alters the U.S. election system by requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The order also includes broad changes to mail-in voting and election equipment, raising concerns about potential voter disenfranchisement and the legality of such sweeping reforms. Election law experts quickly pointed out that Trump’s directive is likely to face legal challenges, as courts have previously blocked states from imposing similar proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections. Under existing law, individuals registering to vote must swear under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens. Legal experts argue that adding a documentary requirement could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering, particularly those without immediate access to the required identification. The order instructs the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), an independent federal body, to revise voter registration forms and mandate documents such as U.S. passports or government-issued IDs that explicitly confirm citizenship. However, only about half of Americans held passports as of last year, according to the State Department, and certain forms of identification listed in the order—such as REAL IDs and military identification cards—do not always indicate citizenship. Additionally, birth certificates are not included as an acceptable form of proof under the directive, further complicating the registration process for many eligible voters. Trump has long promoted the idea that noncitizens vote in U.S. elections, despite a lack of significant evidence supporting such claims. Federal law already makes it a crime for noncitizens to vote, and election officials routinely review records to ensure compliance. Legal scholars swiftly criticized the executive order, asserting that Trump lacks the authority to impose these changes. “A whole lot of this is illegal,” said Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law. He noted that the president does not have jurisdiction over the Election Assistance Commission or the management of elections. Justin Levitt, a constitutional law scholar at Loyola Law School, echoed this view, stating, “The president’s got almost no power over federal elections. One of the things that was very clear during my time in the last administration is how little authority the president has over elections—by design.” The Constitution delegates election oversight to Congress and the states, granting them control over the "times, places, and manner of holding elections." Republican lawmakers have also pursued a legislative path toward a proof-of-citizenship requirement with the introduction of the SAVE Act. Unlike Trump’s order, the bill would allow voters to use birth certificates to verify citizenship. However, election officials and voting rights advocates argue that such measures still risk disenfranchising voters who lack access to their documents. Beyond voter registration requirements, the executive order makes additional sweeping changes to election procedures. It prohibits the use of voting machines that rely on QR codes, potentially forcing states to replace costly election equipment. It also mandates that all ballots must be received by Election Day, directly challenging states that currently allow mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if received later. The order further directs the Department of Government Efficiency and other federal agencies to scrutinize state voter rolls in an effort to identify ineligible voters. Levitt pointed out that past Republican efforts to uncover widespread voter fraud have largely been unsuccessful, raising questions about the feasibility of such a directive. With legal challenges expected to mount, the executive order’s future remains uncertain. Experts anticipate that courts will once again intervene, as they have in previous cases involving voter registration and election law changes at the federal level.

Police Investigate Murder of Man Shot Eight Times and Dumped on Mountain in Rayong
Picture courtesy of CH7 Police in Rayong province are investigating the murder of a 39-year-old man, whose decomposed body was discovered on a remote mountainside, riddled with gunshot wounds. Officers from Pluak Daeng Police Station, along with forensic experts, had to use high-clearance vehicles and off-road motorcycles to navigate the rugged terrain leading to the crime scene, approximately five kilometres into the mountains of Moo 1, Ban Khlong Nam Daeng, Nong Rai subdistrict, Pluak Daeng district, Rayong. The victim was later identified as Mr. Prayuth, aged 39. His body had decomposed to the extent that some parts were only skeletal remains, with signs of animals having eaten parts. He was found wearing long trousers, a t-shirt, and black trainers. A small amount of cash was discovered in his possession. Initial examination of his clothing revealed eight bullet holes, and police recovered shotgun shells and spent cartridges at the scene. His motorcycle was also found nearby. Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had gone to the area with two other individuals to tap rubber trees. He had been missing from his home for approximately two weeks before his body was discovered. Authorities have sent the remains for forensic examination to determine the exact cause of death. Meanwhile, investigators are questioning witnesses and attempting to locate the individuals who accompanied the victim on the day he disappeared. -- 2025-03-27 -
