Crime ‘Am Cyanide’ Denies All Charges as Court Sets 2026 Hearings

[webfact]

 

BANGKOK – 'Am Cyanide' has denied all charges in a court appearance, with witness hearings set for mid-next year. On 16th June 2025, at 9:00 AM, the court addressed evidence for case number A.928/2568, where the prosecutor charged Sararat Rangsivuthaporn, known as 'Am Cyanide', with poisoning and falsifying documents.

 

The prosecution alleges she deliberately poisoned Phusadee Samboonmee by contaminating her food, medicine, and drinks with cyanide, leading to the victim's death.

 

Additionally, she allegedly forged borrowing documents for the deceased’s father, a charge she denied and recognised as related to previous cases under court files referenced.

 

In court, Sararat insisted on her innocence, claiming friendship with the victim and no involvement in forgery. She argued that she wasn't present during the incident, citing the victim's cancer.

 

She also denied the restitution claim filed by the victim’s father, opting to submit a civil response within 15 days. The prosecution plans to present 54 witnesses over seven sessions, beginning their first testimony on 23rd June 2026. Sararat intends to summon four witnesses within a single session.

 

The court also reviewed evidence for another case, A.929/2568, where Sararat is charged with premeditated attempted murder and food tampering.

 

It involved an incident on 23rd September 2022, where she allegedly spiked Kantima Paesa-ard’s food and drink with cyanide, causing severe health issues.

 

Though surviving, Kantima was hospitalised with low blood pressure and required mechanical ventilation. Another attempt to poison her with cyanide-laced capsules, purportedly as a weight-loss aid, was unsuccessful as Kantima did not consume them. Sararat again denied all allegations.

With a nickname like Am Cyanide, you would have thought people would have suspected something beforehand.

I think the nickname was made by the media?
