Crime Man Slashes Monk’s Assistant in the Neck in Front of Child Giving Alms
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a horrifying act of violence, a 42-year-old man in Buriram province launched a brutal knife attack on a monk’s lay helper in broad daylight, slashing him repeatedly in the neck in front of a terrified 12-year-old girl giving alms to monks. The incident occurred at a crossroads in Ban Plub Pla, Moo 2, Sadao subdistrict, Plubplachai district. Police were alerted to the scene, where they found 48-year-old Mr Prasert, known locally as “Tui”, lying critically injured after being attacked with a long cleaver-style knife. Residents rushed him to hospital, where he remains in serious condition. According to Pol. Lt. Wathana Atsalee and Pol. Col. Yannayong Thongbaiyai of Plubplachai Police Station, the attack took place while Mr Prasert was assisting a monk on the morning alms round, as he did every day. Eyewitnesses described the assailant, identified as Mr Yodrak or “A”, as having parked his modified tricycle motorbike at the side of the road as if lying in wait. Monk Thanin, 53, said a young girl was giving alms at the time and had just finished when Mr Prasert bent down to gather offerings. Suddenly, Mr Yodrak leapt from his vehicle and charged at Mr Prasert with a machete, slashing his neck multiple times from behind. The victim attempted to flee and collapsed in nearby bushes. Villagers quickly intervened, prompting the attacker to flee the scene on his motorbike. The child’s grandmother, Mrs Phaka, 64, told reporters that her 12-year-old granddaughter had been giving alms alone in front of the house when the assault unfolded just metres away. “It was horrifying,” she said, recalling how she screamed for the man to stop. The victim’s sister, Ms Rujirej, 49, said the two men had previous disputes despite living in separate villages. She added that Mr Yodrak had recently been seen sharpening knives late at night. Police later arrested Mr Yodrak and seized the bloodied weapon. In his confession, he claimed the motive was revenge. He alleged that a year ago, Mr Prasert had tried to stab him but failed when a passerby intervened. Since then, he said, he had harboured a deep grudge and had tried several times to attack him but never had the opportunity, until now. Shockingly, Mr Yodrak showed no remorse, stating: “I’m still not satisfied. If I see him again, I’ll do it again.” He added an apology “to the monk” for the disturbance but not to the victim. Drug tests on Mr Yodrak came back negative. Police have initially charged him with causing grievous bodily harm and are continuing their investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-20 -

Crime Finance Chief Arrested in Her Office for Embezzling ฿9 Million in Local Government Funds
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A senior finance officer at a local administrative office in Yasothon province has been arrested at her workplace for embezzling more than 9 million baht in public funds. The suspect allegedly siphoned the money into personal and family bank accounts under the guise of legitimate budget disbursements. At approximately 11:30 on 18 June, a team led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Jaroonkiat Pankeaw, Deputy Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Prasong Chalempun, Commander of the Anti-Corruption Division (ACD), together with officials from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), arrested Ms. Wanida 46, Director of the Finance Division of the Kham Phai Subdistrict Administrative Organisation in Thai Charoen District, Yasothon. She was detained in her office under an arrest warrant issued by the Region 3 Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases. The charges include: • Misappropriation of public funds by a government official • Wilful misconduct or dereliction of duty • Abuse of public office for personal gain According to Pol. Lt. Gen. Jaroonkiat, the ACD launched an investigation following a complaint that Wanida had misused her authority to embezzle local government funds. As finance director, she had full access to and oversight of the disbursement of the organisation’s budget. Investigators found that Wanida had systematically submitted false financial requests using her own name and the names of other civil servants, including those who had retired or been transferred, to approve budget disbursements. These funds were then transferred directly into her personal bank account or to accounts belonging to relatives and close associates. A financial audit of the office’s records from 2024 to the present uncovered 27 suspicious transactions amounting to over 9 million baht. Of this, approximately 6 million baht was traced directly to Wanida’s account, with a further 3 million baht distributed to people in her close circle. During interrogation, Wanida confessed to the embezzlement, claiming she had been under severe financial pressure due to debts from unregulated loan apps and being a victim of a call-centre scam. She stated she needed funds to pay exorbitant interest rates and cover financial losses from the scam. However, investigators expressed doubt over the full truth of her explanation and have proceeded with formal charges. Wanida is now in custody and will face legal proceedings in accordance with anti-corruption laws. Authorities have vowed to continue investigations to determine whether other officials may have been complicit and to recover the misappropriated funds.

How often do you shave?
Case in point. Just look at your OP on this one. 7 thumbs down, nothing else. You see Susan, nobody likes your gunk. But I get it now. You like the thumbs down. You're addicted to it. You don't even want positive feedback, do you Susan? That's why you come here. AN guarantees you the dissatisfaction that you lust for.
