According to a senior police officer, four Thai people — including three women — were detained on Sunday in Poipet, Cambodia, on suspicion of making the scam calls that last month led to the murder of the man’s family in Samut Prakan province.
Supol Wongwian, 21, Nisarat Sukasem, 22, Kanonkporn Kraisuk, 19, and Kornkanok Singthit were all detained in the neighboring region on Sunday, according to deputy federal police chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn.
Mr. Supol, according to Pol Gen Surachate, allegedly served as a Thai officer in charge of Thai con artists, including the three Vietnamese sexual offenders tasked with carrying out the gang’s fraud names.
They will be brought to Thailand for prosecution after being accused of participating in a multinational crime gang, computer crime, and common fraud.
Authorities took several smart phones, ATM cards, lender books, and about 240,000 baht in cash from them during the arrest.
The death of a lady and her two children in Samut Prakan’s Bang Phli district on August 28 was allegedly committed by 30 suspected users of the phone fraud crew, including the four Thai nationals. Her father was the criminal, and he also attempted to take his own life.
According to officials, the man owed several hundred thousand ringgit to guarantee a car rental for another person. Then, in an effort to assist, his wife made plans to borrow money using a banking app that was actually used by the scam gang. Finally, she suffered a 1.7 million baht fraud.
According to reports, the father killed his family as a result of the terrible damage.
Of the 30 suspected users of the fraud group, 16 have so far been detained, according to Pol Gen Surachate on Sunday. 16 proprietors of bank records used to collect money from victims, four cashiers, two people who created horse accounts, six call center con artists, and two still-at-large Chinese call center supervisors were among the suspects.
According to Pol Gen Surachate, police were looking for the defendants who were still at big. & nbsp,
