Nine-Year-Old Child Killed by Explosive Device in Phichit Province
UPDATE Two Teenagers Arrested After Homemade Bomb Kills Nine-Year-Old Boy in Phichit Picture courtesy of Matichon. Phichit police have arrested two teenagers after a homemade bomb left on the roadside killed a nine-year-old boy in an incident that has shocked the local community. The victim, identified as “Nong Nai,” was playing in his village when he picked up a suspicious object, which exploded in his hands. The devastating blast resulted in his immediate death. The boy’s grieving family has already held funeral rites, but until now, the case had seen little progress, prompting relatives to seek justice via social media. For over ten days, the case remained stagnant, with police from Wang Sai Phun Police Station making no significant progress. Shockingly, officers reportedly told the boy’s mother that such incidents were a natural part of life and that teenage bomb-making was common. Furthermore, police initially wrote in their report that the family had no intention of pressing charges, a claim the boy’s mother, Mrs Rasamee, strongly denied. “The moment I lost my son, my heart was already shattered. Then to hear police say such things, it just broke me even more,” she said. It was only after the district chief and local officials intervened that the case gained momentum, leading to the arrests. On 3 April, at 10:00, Pol Maj Gen Thadet Klomklieng, commander of Phichit provincial police, led a team of officers, bomb disposal experts (EOD), and local police to reinvestigate the scene in Wang Sai Phun district. They discovered another homemade explosive near the initial blast site. The bomb was safely detonated by the EOD team, and authorities temporarily sealed off the area for further searches. An hour later, a joint police and administrative task force arrested two teenage suspects, identified as 17-year-old Mr Palm and 16-year-old Mr Man. During questioning, the pair admitted to making the explosive devices, allegedly to use during Songkran celebrations. They also revealed that four other local youths were involved, whom are now being pursued by police. Following their arrest, both teenagers expressed remorse, repeatedly apologising to Mrs Rasamee, who was seen crying uncontrollably. Meanwhile, Pol Maj Gen Thadet stated that efforts were ongoing to locate the remaining suspects and ensure the safety of local residents. Authorities have also contacted the provincial justice office to arrange compensation and support for the grieving family. Local residents, including the boy’s grandfather, Mr Boonmee, 74, expressed deep sorrow over the incident. He recounted the harrowing moment he heard the explosion and rushed outside to find his grandson fatally wounded. “There was another child with him, but he managed to step back just in time. My grandson, however, was hit directly by the blast,” he said. Mrs Rasamee remains deeply distressed, not only by her son’s death but also by the way the case was initially handled. “We just want justice. My son was just a curious child, and he had no idea what he was picking up,” she said. Authorities have assured the family that further investigations will be conducted to prevent similar tragedies in the future. -- 2025-04-04 -

Elderly Disabled Man Dies in Forest Fire in Khon Kaen
Picture from responders. A forest fire in Ban Kho, Mueang District, has claimed the life of an 83-year-old disabled man after flames spread to his home, leaving him unable to escape. Authorities are investigating whether the blaze was deliberately set. At 18:30 on 2 April, Police Lieutenant Pan Sang Phuapho, an investigator from Welu Wan Police Station, received a report of a fatality linked to a fire near a home in Moo 4, Ban Kho Subdistrict, Khon Kaen. Emergency responders, including rescue teams and forensic doctors from Sri Nakarin Hospital, rushed to the scene. The charred body of Mr Sanan, 83, was found lying on his back near a clump of bamboo behind the house. His arms and legs were severely burned. A preliminary examination was conducted before the body was transferred to the Forensic Medicine Department at Khon Kaen University’s Faculty of Medicine for further examination. The victim’s 32-year-old son, Mr Chaiya, recounted that his father had been disabled since an accident in November 2024, requiring him to use a walking aid. He lived alone while his son worked during the day, returning home each evening. At around 18:00, Mr Chaiya returned home to find a raging fire engulfing the forest near his father’s house. He rushed inside, calling out for his father. However, upon reaching the back of the house, he found his father had already succumbed to the smoke and flames. In shock, he contacted his employer, who helped alert local authorities. The fire had spread extensively, scorching the area around the house. Police Colonel Pipat Pimklom, Superintendent of Welu Wan Police Station, stated that authorities would meet with local community leaders to discuss preventing illegal forest burning, which has been strictly prohibited by the Khon Kaen provincial government. Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire and whether it was the result of illegal agricultural burning. Anyone found responsible will face legal consequences. -- 2025-04-04 -

Drunk Woman Dies After Crashing Motorcycle into Power Pole
Looks like she fell asleep, nearly 4am. Wasn't travelling that fast. I'd say no helmet, probably would have survived if wearing a helmet. Sad, so many riders dying needlessly. I'm sure her family are in grief, so sad. -
