In an unusual twist, a man was seized at Mo Chit Bus Terminal after spinning a yarn about his pregnant wife being trapped under debris. Fifty-year-old Somnitch Duangnet alleged that his spouse, 23-year-old Korwipha Sonbubpha, who was supposedly four months pregnant and stuck on the fourth floor of the collapsed State Audit Office, could not be reached. The tale turned out to be pure fiction, prompting swift action from the authorities.

 

Korwipha, the woman at the centre of these shocking claims, confirmed to reporters that Somnitch used her identity card without consent. The card in question had been surrendered following Korwipha’s stint at a shopping centre in the Rama 9 area in 2019. Her family was initially terrified after hearing the fabricated story, only finding relief once reassured of her safety.

 

Disturbed and confused by the misuse of her identity, Korwipha reported the incident to Bang Sue Police Station, citing no previous relationship with Somnitch. With the details unraveling, police swiftly detained Somnitch at Mo Chit Bus Terminal.

 

 

 

Led by Police Major General Noppasin Poolsawat, the Metropolitan Police Bureau spearheaded the investigation to discern Somnitch's motives.

 

Simultaneously, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) addressed concerns over tremors felt in Bangkok following a minor aftershock from an earlier earthquake in Myanmar. Although vibrations triggered temporary evacuations from high-rise buildings at 11.08am on the same day, the TMD reassured citizens that the aftershock posed no serious threat.

 

In conclusion, while the fabricated claim stirred local alarm, it did not equate to immediate danger. The police swiftly took measures to address the hoax, showing commitment to maintaining public trust and safety. The day's seismic activities, although dawning initial panic, were ultimately benign according to local authorities.

Mental illness is a world wide problem, not just here in Thailand.

That’s clear, but I mean this is a Thai news and Forum for expats/residents in this land. Approximately 1 in 8 people worldwide, or nearly 1 billion individuals, live with a mental health disorder..🤔
