Crime Fugitive Caught After 12 Years on the Run for Brutal Robbery of Mother and Daughter
Picture courtesy of CIB. Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) officers have arrested a man wanted for over a decade in connection with a violent armed robbery that left a mother and daughter seriously injured. The suspect, identified as Chetmitr, was apprehended at a residence in Huai Aeng sub-district, Mueang Maha Sarakham District, after evading justice for more than 12 years. Officers from the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD), under the Central Investigation Bureau, conducted the arrest following intelligence that the fugitive had secretly returned to visit his wife and was hiding in the area. The original incident took place in 2009, when Chetmitr and an accomplice allegedly broke into a remote farmhouse late at night, where a mother and her daughter were asleep. The assailants brutally beat the victims with wooden objects, targeting their heads and bodies, before robbing them of two gold necklaces (one weighing 2 baht and the other 1.5 baht) and 23,000 baht in cash. The attackers then fled the scene. Local police from Mueang Maha Sarakham Police Station responded, collecting forensic evidence and interviewing the victims. Chetmitr was later apprehended and granted bail but subsequently absconded. A warrant for his arrest was issued by the Juvenile and Family Court of Maha Sarakham Province on 25 April 2013. Recently, investigators traced him back to the same area where the crime had occurred. Officers conducted surveillance on the residence until they spotted a man matching the suspect’s description. Upon confirming his identity, police moved in and made the arrest. Chetmitr was informed of the charges against him, including robbery and attempted murder and his legal rights before being taken into custody. The operation was carried out under the direction of Pol. Lt. Gen. Jiraphop Phuridej, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, with the coordination of Pol. Maj. Gen. Songklod Krerkkritya, Commander of the ATPD, and Pol. Col. Sarawut Jantawong, Superintendent of Sub-Division 3 of the ATPD. The arresting team was led by Pol. Lt. Col. Prawet Saengphrom and officers from the same unit. Chetmitr has been remanded to the Juvenile and Family Court of Maha Sarakham, who issued the original warrant, for further legal proceedings.

Accident Elderly Monk Falls from Motorcycle Taxi and Dies in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An elderly Buddhist monk passed away after falling from a motorcycle taxi while returning to his temple in Bangkok on the morning of 29 July. The deceased, identified as Phra Vichai Watchayo (secular name: Vichai Noeikham), aged 70, resided at Wat Son Temple. The incident occurred near the entrance of Soi Rat Burana 41, in the Rat Burana district of Bangkok. According to Pol. Sub-Lt. Natthaphong Thasri, an investigator from Rat Burana Police Station, the police were notified of the fatal crash by Rat Burana Hospital around 09:30. The motorcycle taxi driver, identified only as Mr Phajon, recounted that at approximately 06:40, Phra Vichai had hailed him at the entrance to Soi Rat Burana 40, requesting to be taken to Wat Son. The monk sat on the back of the motorcycle in the traditional side-sitting posture commonly used by monks. As they reached the entrance of Soi Rat Burana 41, Mr Phajon said he felt something was wrong and looked back to find that the monk had fallen backwards onto the road. He immediately stopped and called for emergency assistance. Phra Vichai was rushed to Rat Burana Hospital but was later pronounced dead. Police are coordinating with forensic medical staff to conduct a post-mortem examination. Investigators are also working with the local surveillance unit to review nearby CCTV footage in order to determine the precise cause of the accident. Authorities have stated that further steps will be taken based on the findings of the ongoing investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-30 -
