Popular Post webfact Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 Police arrest school director for Lopburi shopping mall shooting - reports Thai police are expected to announce the arrest of a man wanted for killing three people at a shopping mall in Lopburi earlier this month. Multiple Thai news sites report the 38 year old is believed to be a senior civil servant and is either a teacher and/or director at a school in neighbouring Singburi province. Naew Na reported that the man is a teacher. He was arrested in Singburi and taken to a "safe house" where he admitted his involvement. Daily News reported that he was a teacher and a school director in Singburi. They further suggested that their sources indicated that the primary motive for the incident was NOT robbery. They gave no further details. Unconfirmed reports said the man confessed to the killing three people, including a two year old child, as well as seriously injuring four others and stealing gold worth more than 500,000 baht in the robbery at the Aurora gold shop at Robinsons in Lopburi on the evening of Thursday January 9th. He used a gun with a silencer, with the whole incident caught on CCTV. He then fled on a motorcycle. This prompted a huge manhunt in a case that has shocked the nation. Thairath reported that two days after the incident the man was out having lunch with his girlfriend, very much carrying on with his own life like nothing had happened. The man is currently being at Lopburi police station. A press conference is due to be held imminently, where police are expected to reveal more details about the arrest.

Interesting. Are they then suggesting that he went there to murder someone and the robbery was a diversion? Would surely have been easier to do the murder away from the CCTV. 22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Suspect in Lopburi gold heist case arrested By The Nation The suspect in the Lopburi gold heist case, who also allegedly killed three people on January 9, was arrested on Wednesday (January 22), police reports said. National Police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda will later provide further information. On Wednesday morning, the forensic team was preparing evidence to issue an arrest warrant. They used DNA from sweat at the scene to identify the suspect. The report identified the suspect, Prasittichai Khaokaew, as a firearms coach and director of Wat Pho Chai School in Singburi province. He has reportedly confessed to the crimes and his motive is being investigated. Thai netizens have shared a picture of the suspect celebrating Children’s Day on his Facebook account two days after allegedly murdering three people, including a two-year-old boy.

stephenterry Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) A crime of passion? What, here in a patriarch Buddhist Thailand? Apologies, not really a joking matter for that poor innocent child victim. I hope he gets his just reward if it's proven to be beyond scientific evidence doubt that he was the killer.

Amnat Wichayanuwat, sec-gen of the Office of Basic Education Commission, said Prasithchai would be fired from his post if his crime is proven in the court. Wow, better not mess with Amnat, he really means business 3 2 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
