A Chinese girl allegedly kidnapped in Thailand and held for ransom by a fellow citizen is being sought more by authorities.
Cai Boxuan, a Taiwanese national, called the police at the Bang Rak place on Friday to inform them that Yan Ruimin, 38, was missing.
She told him that she would travel to Phuket on July 2 and that he had last heard from her on June 30. He claimed that he was concerned about her potential risk.
According to a policeman cause, Ms. Yan’s family became concerned after never hearing from her for a while, so they traveled to Thailand and requested assistance from the Chinese ambassador. A suspect then reached out to demand a ransom of 1 million yuan ( 5 million baht ) for Ms Yan’s release.
According to the source, the suspect instructed them not to contact the police or the military because he would not promise her safety.
Researchers are collaborating with the Immigration Bureau to get Ms. Yan and get the suspect, according to Metropolitan Police Bureau Commissioner Pol Lt. Gen.
Ma Qingyan was identified as the suspect, according to the cause, and a test revealed that he had rented a vehicle in Bangkok on June 30. The car was delivered by a member of the rental firm to a resort in the Silom neighborhood where he was staying.
According to the cause, Ms. Yan was seen entering the vehicle on July 1 at Times Square near Sukhumvit Soi 12, adding that security camera footage showed the vehicle traveling to Sukhumvit Soi 16.
The vehicle left Soi Sukhumvit 16 the following morning and traveled to Chon Buri.
The vehicle started to appear in Chachoengsao on July 3 at around 2 a.m., according to a source who spoke for the Muang area. Ms. Yan’s phone signal reportedly went off in a neighborhood close to Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan.
The suspect eventually left the Silom lodge and returned the rented vehicle, according to the source, before flying to Hong Kong on the afternoon of July 3 and traveling to Suvarnabhumi airport.
