Police in Bangkok handed over reports on 14 more cases of serial killing to public prosecutors. The suspect, Sararat “Aem Cyanide” Rangsiwuthaporn, allegedly used cyanide to poison and kill her victims. The Department of Criminal Litigation Director-General, Sanjai Chanphong, stated that prosecutors will review the 40,000 pages of documents related to these cases. It is not yet determined whether a single prosecutor or a working group will be assigned to review the files.
Sararat has already been sentenced to death for the murder of her friend, Siriporn Khanwong, with potassium cyanide. Her ex-husband and lawyer were also sentenced for their involvement in helping Sararat conceal evidence. The recent investigations into the 14 additional cases are a result of the first verdict in Sararat’s trial.
Provincial Police Region 7 and the Central Investigation Bureau are handling the cases and compiling documents, testimonies, and expert analyses. The investigations revealed a clear motive and plan behind the crimes. Police believe that if Sararat had not been caught, there could have been more victims due to her cold-blooded and cruel actions.
The suspect’s behavior has shocked the community, with a total of 15 victims involved in her alleged crimes. The continuous follow-up by the police forces led to the decision to prosecute Sararat for all 14 cases. The severity of her actions and the potential for more victims if she had not been apprehended highlight the need for a thorough investigation and legal action.
The public prosecutor’s review of the additional cases will determine the next steps in the legal process. The authorities are working diligently to ensure that justice is served for the victims and their families. The impact of Sararat’s actions on the community underscores the importance of addressing such heinous crimes promptly and effectively.
