The village of Ban Khlong Tabak in Si Khiu district, Nakhon Ratchasima, is reeling after a horrifying series of dog poisonings, sparking fears of a sinister motive to pave the way for burglaries. The poisoning of four dogs belonging to local resident Mr Naren Mingkwan on August 14th resulted in three deaths and one critical injury.

 

The malevolent act saw poison laced with raw chicken placed near Mr Naren's fence, echoing a previous attack two months prior when two of his dogs succumbed to a similar fate.

 

Tragically, other villagers have experienced comparable losses, leaving the once lively community with only a few pets remaining, reported the Bangkok Post.

 

The distress among residents is palpable, with the belief growing that these acts aim to disable loyal guard dogs for a potential break-in. Yet, with no suspect identified, the atmosphere remains tense and uneasy.

 

Authorities are on high alert as local police intensify investigations and community patrols to prevent further attacks. The concern extends beyond the loss of beloved pets, highlighting potential security threats that have villagers vigilant and on edge.

 

Fears of further criminal activity have shaken the sense of community trust, prompting neighbours to rally together for protection.

 

As the investigation continues, the villagers hope for swift resolution and justice for their lost companions. This unsettling event underscores the need for heightened security measures as residents try to return to normal life while anxiously awaiting answers.
