According to police, the detained ex-husband of a suspected serial killer has already admitted to two prices.

According to deputy national police chief Surachate Hakparn, all 15 reported victims of suspected serial killer Sararat” Aem” Rangsiwuthaporn — 14 of whom died and one who survived — had been poisoned.

According to Pol Gen Surachate, the murders were primarily motivated by money.

All 15 of the victims had been poisoned by poison, which was added to capsules of medications, food, or drinking water. The motivation for carrying out the poison murders was monetary issues. Aem’s financial situation was dire. During a Wednesday lecture on the inspection at the Royal Thai Police Sports Club on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, he claimed that she owed enormous amounts of money to credit cards.

According to Pol Gen Surachate, a former police officer who is the suspect’s ex-husband has confessed to two charges in connection with the condition.

The assistant chief claimed that after being questioned more, Pol Lt Col Withoon Rangsiwuthaporn, who was detained this year, had provided insightful claims.

On April 25, Ms. Sararat, 36, also known as” Aem Cyanide,” was detained at the Bangkok government building on Chaeng Watthana Road in accordance with a warrant from the Criminal Court. Presently, she is four decades along.

Siriporn” Koy” Khanwong, 32, of Kanchanaburi, filed a charge, and his mother and older sister filed it. In the Ban Pong city of Ratchaburi, where she had gone with Ms. Sararat to launch fish for merit-making on April 14, Siriporn collapsed and passed away next to the Mae Klong valley. She had Cyanide in her appearance.

Investigators think Siriporn’s death was caused by Ms. Sararat mixing poison in her food. She reportedly took the victim’s belongings as well.

According to Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas, the federal police commander, there were now 15 cases reported in connection with Ms. Sararat; 14 of the victim had passed away and one had survived. He continued,” An additional two or three occasions are being looked into.”

All parties involved in the investigation came to an agreement to transfer all 14 cases to the Crime Suppression Division( SCD ), with Pol Gen Surachate serving as the team’s leader, the chief said.

At the Royal Thai Police Sports Club in Bangkok on Wednesday, Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas, the head of the national authorities, and his assistant, General Surachate Hakparn, present an email on the” Aem Cyanide” analysis.

Police authorities had enough circumstantial evidence, testimony, and forensic evidence to prosecute Ms. Sararat in all cases, despite the fact that there were no witnesses who saw her putting poison in food or drinking water for sufferers to eat, according to Pol Gen Damrongsak.

Ms. Sararat, who is currently being held at the Central Women’s Correctional Institution in Bangkok, was scheduled to be questioned by Pol Gen Surachate on Thursday.

However, her ex-husband was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, where police planned to match bail. After being initially questioned after his arrest, he was held at the Muang city police station in the state of Nakhon Pathom.

Pol Lt Col Withoon, the deputy director of the Suan Phueng depot in Ratchaburi, has been let go from the police, detained, and accused of receiving stolen property, using forged legal documents together with forging official records.

Dying ex-boyfriend

After learning that the 39-year-old police had picked up his ex-wife in Udon Thani following the death of her partner, Sutthisak” Dae” Phoonkhwan, authorities had requested an arrest warrant for him.

According to Pol Gen Surachate, the pair now pledged Sutthisak’s white Chevrolet Captiva as loan collateral while traveling from the northern county to Nakhon Pathom.

Despite their divorce, the couple continued to live together, in part because they had two children — a 13-year-old girl and a 10-year old boy — to take care of. According to the deputy police chief, she started dating Sutthisak because she wanted his property.

He claimed that after Sutthisak passed away, Ms. Sararat and her ex-husband went to collect payments from people who had taken out loans from her partner. The Sutthisak life, a 35-year-old who is otherwise strong, thinks that he was also poisoned.

Mistress enquired

Pol Lt. Col. Withoon hasn’t already acknowledged working on Ms. Sararat’s crime. However, authorities on Wednesday inquired about a possible connection to one of the deaths from his mistress, who was known in Thai internet as” Noina.”

According to Pol Gen Surachate, Ms. Sararat, her ex-husband, and their close-knit mistress traveled to Hua Hin there following the murder in Ratchaburi’s Ban Pong area. They went to the resort town, he claimed, in an effort to get Ms. Sararat an excuse and prove she wasn’t present at the crime scene.

Pol Lt Col Withoon occasionally stayed at a police mansion in Kanchanaburi, and an earlier research of the property turned up some of his ex-wife’s clothes as well as an empty bottle containing the black liquid, which was discovered at an abandoned bullshit burning site close to the residence. & nbsp,

The need to add wind and solar power is becoming more urgent due to rising gas prices and declining home supplies.

Thailand is the most recent nation to accept wind and solar in order to lessen its reliance on imported fuel. The consequences from the global energy crisis is forcing Thailand to speed its transition to solar after dragging its feet for decades.

According to Wattanapong Kurovat, director-general of the Energy Policy and Planning Office, the nation was forced to reevaluate its solar energy system as a result of last year’s spike in natural gas costs brought on by Russian invasion of Ukraine. The decrease in nearby manufacturing made the situation worse.

In an interview in Bangkok, Mr. Wattanapong stated that” when we asked renewable power plants to buy us more energy next year, we found that what we had was actually all there was.” ” When we needed more, we don’t call for it.”

Others, like Thailand, are looking at solar panel and wind turbines to become more energy active while some nations are responding to the increase in global petrol prices by investing more in fuel mines or oil fields.

The government announced winners for a power purchase plan covering roughly 5 gigawatts of renewable energy and nbsp last month as part of an effort to increase energy security. This is the largest so-called feed-in tariff program to date and is expected to basically triple wind and solar capacity by 2030. In addition, government are currently preparing another round for 3.67 terawatts later this year, according to Mr. Wattanapong.

Thailand has reversed its long-standing preference for natural gas as a transfer gas to eventually switch to cleaner sources, which has stalled fresh wind and solar. Additionally, it can be challenging for solar projects to establish themselves in some parts of the emerging world due to system restrictions, dark audio, and a lack of funding.

After spot prices increased last year, the nation’s reliance on liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) imports for power generation has led to skyrocketing costs. In order to stop utility bill increases last year, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand ( Egat) was burdened with roughly 150 billion baht in costs.

In the system for the May 14 vote, rising energy costs have become a concern, leading five parties to suggest cutting energy bills. The need for private solar sources has increased as households and businesses suffer, according to Mr. Wattanapong.

According to Mr. Wattanapong, the government’s upcoming power development strategy, which is anticipated to be presented later this year to a new cabinet, will have more ambitious clean energy goals. The adjustments are already intended to assist Thailand in achieving its net zero emissions by 2030, which is 30 to 40 percent of its climate goals.

According to Mr. Wattanapong, by 2037, renewable energy will make up more than 50 % of the total energy balance, up from about 20 % under the original plan.

The intensity is also accompanied by a decline in home gas production. Erawan, the largest natural gas field in the Gulf of Thailand, saw a 64 % decline in output last year after US-based Chevron Corp. sold the area to state-owned PTT Exploration & amp, Production Plc. The government wants to lessen its reliance on fuel while still aiming to increase home performance through 2024.

According to Mr. Wattanapong,” our private natural gas supply will just continue to decline.” Heat may eventually have a smaller impact on the energy mix.

Go back to selling houses, says Supachai

The Bhumjaithai Party (BJT) has authorised its candidates to file a complaint with the poll watchdog against Srettha Thavisin.

Mr Srettha, who is a prime ministerial candidate and executive board member of the Pheu Thai Party, discredited the BJT, in violation of election laws, the party says. It has urged members to complain to the Election Commission (EC).

If the EC finds against him, it could impose the maximum penalty of urging Pheu Thai to be dissolved.

Supachai Jaisamut, registrar of the BJT party, said at least 10 of its candidates will file a petition with the EC in their respective provinces. The petition asks the commission to investigate Mr Srettha and the executive board. It alleges Mr Srettha’s remarks at a recent campaign rally were misleading.

He said Mr Srettha, during election campaigns, told audiences that BJT had a policy for complete and total liberalisation of cannabis, which has led to misuse of the drug among adolescents. “This is false,” Mr Supachai said.

Mr Supachai argues the Public Health Ministry, under the direction of BJT, has issued regulations to prevent improper use of cannabis, including bans on public consumption and use by children.

Mr Supachai also said Mr Srettha falsely claimed that voting for BJT would result in Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha becoming prime minister again. That’s untrue, as Anutin Charnvirakul, BJT’s party leader, has consistently said he wants to be prime minister.

“We have never criticised another party, especially those that have not identified proper funding for their policies that could result in significant financial burdens for the country,” he said. “Mr Srettha is not mature enough for politics.”

Asked what this would mean for a possible BJT-Pheu Thai coalition, he said Mr Srettha is just an opportunist vying for the role of PM.

“If Mr Srettha fails, he will just go back to selling houses.”

PM, govt selection may just ‘take longer’

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam on Wednesday dismissed the possibility of a political vacuum or deadlock arising after the May 14 election.

However, he expressed concern the formation of a new government may take longer than usual. His remarks come as polls show some of the front-running parties drawing closer in the popularity stakes.

While he believes that any party that wins a majority of House seats could form a new government, he said there are some uncertainties which could result in the victorious party getting fewer seats and having to instead work to form a coalition government.

Responding to comments on the rising political temperature in the run-up to election day, he said the intense competition isn’t unusual as every party is vying for as much attention as possible.

On rumours that parties are already talking of forming alliances ahead of the election results, Mr Wissanu said that from his experience, these kinds of talks don’t normally begin until the night the unofficial election results are known.

“Such an early political deal doesn’t guarantee the end result, however,” he said.

In the 2019 general election, for instance, those political alliances formed immediately after the unofficial election results changed drastically once the official election results were known two months later, he said.

In the case of what would happen if two parties earn an almost equal number of House seats and both fail to reach an agreement on forming a government and the selection of a new prime minister, he said Section 270 of the constitution shows clearly what to do in such a situation.

No exact deadline is imposed on the selection of the new prime minister, he said. “Eventually, a way out of that kind of impasse will be found. So, there will never be a political vacuum, as some fear. But it [the prime minister selection] might take a little longer,” he said.

By law, the Election Commission is required to announce the official results of the election within 60 days of polling day.

Nonetheless, the poll regulator usually shares the results of the election after 45 days, he said.

It cannot be predicted exactly when the selection of the new PM and, subsequently, the formation of the new government would be complete, as the constitution, in the case of a stalemate, allows the selection of the new PM to be held repeatedly until successful.

As for the worst case scenario, in the event of a political deadlock, the caretaker government can continue its role while waiting for a new government to be formed, he said.

“Section 169 of the constitution still allows the caretaker government to use the central budget, otherwise, the cabinet would have not been able to request the use of 10.5 billion baht [to fund the electricity bill subsidy programme],” he said.

Mr Wissanu also said it was too soon to analyse whether what happened after the 2019 election — when the Palang Pracharath Party formed a new government even though it obtained fewer House seats than Pheu Thai — will happen again.

“We don’t anticipate that will ever happen again. We expect to see a new government that holds a majority of House seats in hand right from the beginning. And that’s what every party expects,” he said.

The choice of the PM and the government might simply” have longer.”

The possibility of a social stalemate or void following the May 14 vote was dismissed by Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam on Wednesday.

He did, though, express worry that a new politics might take longer than usual to form. His comments come as surveys indicate that some of the front-running parties are getting closer to winning the popular vote.

He said there are some risks that may cause the winning party to lose more seats and be forced to work to form a coalition government, even though he thinks any party that wins the majority of House votes could form the new authority.

He said the extreme competition isn’t different because every event is vying for as much attention as possible in response to comments on the rising political heat in the run-up to election time.

Mr. Wissanu responded to rumors that parties are also discussing forming alliances prior to the election results by stating that, in his understanding, these discussions typically don’t start until the evening the unofficial results are known.

However, he added,” A political deal this early doesn’t guarantee the outcome.”

For instance, he claimed that in the 2019 general election, social alliances formed right away after the illegal election results underwent a significant change two months later.

He claimed that Area 270 of the constitution clearly outlines what to do in the event that two parties win nearly equal numbers of House votes but are unable to come to an agreement on establishing a government and electing the new prime minister.

He claimed that there is no set date for choosing the new prime minister. ” Eventually, a solution to that kind of problem will be discovered. Therefore, contrary to what some fear, there will never be a democratic void. However, he said that the selection of the chief minister might have a little longer.

According to the law, the Election Commission must release the election’s legal results within 60 days of election day.

However, he added, the crown regulation typically releases the election results after 45 days.

Given that the constitution permits the selection of the new PM to be held constantly until flourishing in the event of a stalemate, it is impossible to predict with certainty when the election to the position and, immediately, the formation of new government may be perfect.

In the worst-case situation, he said, the caretaker government can carry on its duties in the event of a social deadlock while awaiting the formation of the new government.

According to him,” Chapter 169 of the constitution still permits the caretaker government to use the main budget; otherwise, the cabinet would not have been able to ask for the use of 10.5 billion baht to fund the subsidy program for electricity bills.”

Mr. Wissanu added that it was too early to predict whether what transpired following the 2019 election— during which the Palang Pracharath Party established a new politics despite receiving fewer House votes than Pheu Thai — will occur once more.

We don’t think that will ever occur once more. We anticipate a different authority that has control of the majority of House votes from the start. And that’s what everyone anticipates ,” he added.

Pheu Thai: We’re not behind screenshots

Political activist Srisuwan Janya lodged a complaint with the Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday after Senator Somchai Swangkarn posted screenshots of a WhatsApp chat believed to involve fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Screenshots posted on Mr Somchai’s Facebook page on Tuesday showed an alleged conversation in which someone seeks advice from the former PM about a plan for the Pheu Thai Party to win the May 14 election. Even though the user’s name appeared to be Thaksin Shinawatra, many people believe the chat is made up.

However, Mr Srisuwan said the chat was evidence of a violation of the amended Election Act for constituency and party-list MPs. He said only the EC can investigate and prove the chat illegal.

“This is my eighth time reporting suspicious acts from this person, but my requests were dismissed by the EC,” Mr Srisuwan said. “I have emphasised that it was all connected. There is a mastermind behind the party.”

Phumtham Wechayachai, deputy leader of the Pheu Thai Party, said on Wednesday he had seen screenshots of the WhatsApp chat, and it had nothing to do with his party. “Whoever is involved, let justice be done,” he said.

Meanwhile, Paetongtarn “Ung Ing” Shinawatra, one of Pheu Thai’s prime ministerial candidates, on Wednesday insisted a recent tweet by her father, Thaksin, will not affect the party’s campaign or its popularity.

Thaksin on Monday wrote on social media that with his seventh and youngest grandchild being born, he would be back soon because, at the age of 73, he wants to be able to care for his grandchildren.

Ms Paetongtarn made her remarks after giving a statement about her newborn son, Prutthasin “Thasin” Sooksawas, at Praram 9 Hospital.

“I admit it’s difficult to distinguish these things as Thaksin founded the now-dissolved Thai Rak Thai Party. Thaksin’s only wish is to return home to raise his grandson, and he never said he wanted to become the prime minister again,” said Ms Paetongtarn on Wednesday.

She urged people to understand how it would feel to be someone who has lived abroad in self-exile for 17 years.

“I’m happy that my father [Thaksin] said something like that — to have hope of returning home, and staying healthy so he can see his grandson,” said Ms Paetongtarn.

“Although every speech has an effect on politics, our family doesn’t look at it that way. I have not talked to my father about when he will return, as he has his own plans. We’ve only talked about his grandson.”

Asked when she would continue canvassing, Ms Paetongtarn said she plans to be on Pheu Thai’s campaign stage at Muang Thong Thani’s Impact Arena on May 12.
