Fraudster Arrested in Major Land Deed Scam Worth Over 100 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of CIB. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has arrested a notorious female fraudster involved in a sophisticated criminal network responsible for forging land title deeds and defrauding victims out of more than 100 million baht across multiple provinces. Officers from the Crime Suppression Division (CSD), led by Pol. Lt. Col. Korpong Wongsalangkan, apprehended the suspect, Ms. Rattaya, in front of a dormitory in Samut Prakan province. She was detained under an arrest warrant issued by the Thanyaburi Provincial Court on 12 March 2025, charging her with “forgery and use of forged documents.” Police investigations revealed that Ms. Rattaya was a key player in a well-organised criminal ring engaged in complex document forgery operations. The group’s primary tactic was the fabrication of counterfeit land deeds and powers of attorney, which were then used to deceive investors and land buyers. One of the most common schemes involved impersonating representatives of loan companies, persuading victims to invest or take out high-interest loans using forged land deeds as collateral. In some cases, legitimate land titles, obtained under false pretences, were used to fraudulently sell property to unsuspecting buyers, supported by forged documents claiming that the actual owners had authorised the transactions. In truth, many of the property owners had no knowledge their land was being used in such dealings. To bolster their credibility, the fraudsters orchestrated staged property transactions, misleading victims by claiming that “insiders” at the Land Department were managing the paperwork. Fake documents were then presented to convince victims of the transaction’s legitimacy. The fraud was widespread, with numerous victims reported in Surin, Buriram, Sikhoraphum, Rattanaburi, Tha Tum, and several other districts. The extent of the damage became clear when a group of victims joined forces and filed a complaint with the CSD on 19 March 2025. Many victims had lost life savings, believing they were investing in lucrative land deals or legitimate loan agreements. In some tragic cases, the emotional toll was so severe that victims contemplated suicide, though timely intervention by family members prevented fatalities. Authorities later discovered that Ms. Rattaya had a long criminal history, with over 20 previous charges, mostly involving fraud, use of forged documents, and repeat deception. Police believe she may be linked to a wider network of fraudsters operating across several provinces. Following her arrest, Ms. Rattaya was transferred to Thanyaburi Provincial Court for legal proceedings. The operation was conducted in strict compliance with the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act, B.E. 2565 (2022). The case has highlighted the growing threat of document forgery and financial scams in Thailand and prompted calls for greater vigilance and tougher crackdowns on criminal networks exploiting gaps in the system. -- 2025-04-13 -

Murder-Suicide: Man Kills Stepson and Injures Ex-Wife Before Taking Own Life
Picture from responders. In a disturbing incident in Trat province, a man fatally drowned his 11-year-old stepson, stabbed his ex-wife, and later took his own life by hanging. The events unfolded on the afternoon of 11 April near a reservoir in Khao Saming district. Rescue personnel from the Sawang Boon Rescue Foundation in Trat were alerted at 16:00 about a suspected suicide near the reservoir. Upon arrival, they found the body of a man, aged 35, hanging from a tree with a nylon rope. He was shirtless, wearing long denim trousers, and a red Honda Wave motorcycle was parked nearby. A local resident who regularly brings his dog to the site for a swim, discovered the body and immediately alerted authorities. Soon after, a 31-year-old woman, referred to as Ms. B, contacted rescue officials and identified the deceased as her former partner, originally from Rayong province. She revealed that her 11-year-old son had been with him at the time of the incident. According to Ms. B, she and the man had been in a relationship for over a decade. Though they separated at the end of the previous year due to ongoing conflicts, the man continued to request visits with the boy, whom he had raised since early childhood. On the day of the incident, he contacted Ms. B to arrange what he claimed would be a final meeting with the child. The situation escalated into a violent altercation on a roadside in Bo Rai district, during which Ms. B was stabbed and later admitted to Bo Rai Hospital. Her son was abducted from the scene by the man. Later that night, at around 23:00, divers from the rescue foundation located the boy’s body submerged in the reservoir. His body showed signs of bruising. Investigators also noted muddy child-sized handprints on the man’s clothing, further supporting the theory that he had forcibly drowned the boy before ending his own life. Police are continuing the investigation, though they believe the man was attempting to evade the consequences of his actions through suicide. -- 2025-04-13 -
