Two more suspects held in death of schoolgirl in Kanchanaburi–VIDEO
KANCHANABURI: Two more young men have been arrested in connection with the sexual assault and still-unexplained death of a schoolgirl at a house in Tha Muang district on Saturday. Police arrested the two on Saturday after obtaining court warrants for their arrest on charges of depriving a girl aged under 18 and performing indecent acts.
Phakhin Chanyiam, 21, and Natthaphong, 18 (surname withheld), were taken to the Tha Muang police station for interrogation. Their arrest followed that of Pongpat Nakpian, 22, who has been charged with rape, possession of illegal drugs, and possible murder charges.
A group of males drove to the girl’s house to pick her up at about 10pm on June 16. Later, the girls family was unable to get a hold of her until the next morning when they received a call from one of their daughter’s friends, saying their daughter was found dead on a wooden bench in front of a house in Tha Muang district, only 10km from her home.
A total of 5 suspects are said to be linked to the death of a Matthayom Suksa 6 (Grade 12) student.
They are awaiting the results of forensic tests to determine the exact cause of death. Police who examined her body noted traces of blood from her mouth and her nose.

Police chain suspects doors and windows until next morning
On August 9, A man attacked an officer, took his gun, and fled to his house in Plang Yao District, Chachoengsao Province. The officer then tried to persuade him to surrender for more than 6 hours but still failed.
Later at 6:00 pm, Plangyao Police Station decided to send 50 officers from a special operations unit in Chachoengsao Province.
The standoff lasted until 11:00 p.m. and the villain still showed no signs of surrendering.
So, they decided to chain his doors and windows preventing him from escaping until the next day rather than risk any of the officers or even the suspect’s life.
Meanwhile, the Royal Thai Police in Chachoengsao Province started to process a search warrant for the next morning after leaving a couple of police officers to watch the house.
Later, Col. Sonthaya revealed that the perpetrator was named Mr. Anon, 45, at the house in Tha Bunmi Subdistrict, Koh Chan District, Chonburi Province, who went into a drunken methamphetamine rampage and destroyed his neighbor’s ricefields.
Police tried to intervene but Mr. Anont took a gun from Officer Or Sor and ran away. Mr. Anon’s daughter also reported his unusual behavior saying he was showing signs of aggressive behavior telling officers to exercise caution especially since he had a gun.
Police hope he will surrender after bringing a search warrant after the drugs wear off. To be continued……..
Later, it was reported that the suspect had escaped through the back of his house prior to officers boarding up his doors and windows. Police then conducted a search of the house and did not find the stolen gun. Police are still searching for the armed and dangerous suspect now.
