Police investigated the security
camera footage and uncovered that the suspect worked along and parked his motorcycle in the area at
3.05. He walked over to the meter and cut off the pipe at 03.14 and left.

Investigations
revealed that the suspect had cut off almost 1 meter of the pipe and tied it to the back of his
motorcycle, hiding it behind his body as he passed the security guard. The suspect headed toward
Zeer Rangsit.

Police urge any individual who has seen or has any evidence on the suspect to
contact Kukot police station immediately.

At the scene, the police found the body of Mr. Chayut Chayanun,
27, lying in a pool of blood, shirtless and wearing blue boxers.

Deducing that Mr. Chayut
fell down from room 96/212 on the 9th floor of the building, police inspected the room, and ran into
Mr.Nusat Namtip, 24, Mr.Nakaret Kumchot, 20, and a 19 year old man, who are all friends of the
deceased, all smoking marijuana when police arrived. They were all detained.

The police also
discovered that the room next door, 96/211, was ransacked, with scattered things everywhere. The
room belonged to Mr. Chaianan Sanpun, 40.

Mr.Chaianan informed police that before the
incident, he went out to the building nearby, and he saw Mr. Chayut climbing out of the window of
his room. He came back into the room and saw that his belongings were ransacked and the man had
already climbed back to his room next door via the window.

However, for some reason, the man
climbed back into the window, and when he saw Mr.Chaianan, he reportedly panicked and fell to the
ground. Some of the belongings in the room were missing, all of which the police found in
Mr.Chaiyut’s room.

Mr.Nusat, friend of Mr. Chayut, informed police that the deceased was
staying with him and that he was the son of an architect who did not want to live at home and wanted
to sell clothing at a second hand market at Suan Rot Fai Mai.

The suspects were identified as Ms. Jutamas Suwanbumroong, 28, a master degree
graduate who was awarded Best Employee of the Month by the bank in 2010, and her boyfriend
Mr.Supachet Chanachai, 31, a bureaucrat in Ministry of Education.

Investigations revealed she had also transferred 1.7 million baht from a customer account to
Mr.Supachet‘s account. Both of them escaped together.

The suspects reportedly escaped
to Bangkok and were apprehended at Imperial World shopping mall in Bangkok suburb. The 2 suspects
confessed to the crimes.

Questioning revealed that the reason for their robbery of over 10
million baht is Mr.Supachet’s gambling debts. He had been threatened for his life and he had to find
a way to get the money to pay his debtors. His girlfriend then helped him to rob the bank from the
inside. They used 8 million baht to pay off the debt and the remaining amount in their
escape.

Police said that Ms.Jutamas was a well-mannered person from a well of family, with no
debts. Mr.Supachet had always been in debt, although he worked as the Ministry of Education
official. Police believe Mr.Supachet convinced Ms.Jutamas to commit the crime to save him from his
gambling debts.

The funeral and the cremation were held at Sa
Pung Thong temple in Nong Pla Khao village. Next to her coffin is a brown bear doll; Ms. Pongpan′s
family said it was her favorite toy.

Ms. Ponpan, known by the media as ?Nong (little
sister) Yim?, was walking to her car in Tesco Lotus supermarket in Bangkok′s Bangkapi area on 4 June
when she was attacked by a knife-wielding man. Ms. Ponpan′s throat was slit, her body dumped into
her car, which the attacker drove to a motel in Nonthaburi province, intending to hide the body
there.

However, a staff at the motel spotted the dead body and called the police. The suspect
was later arrested. He confessed that he intended to rob Ms. Ponpan but she fought back, so he
killed her with his knife. Nonthaburi Provincial Court ordered the suspect detained for 12 days and
denied him bail, citing serious nature of the case.

Although Thailand is not unfamiliar to
violent crimes, the murder of Ms. Ponpan came as a shock to many, especially women in urban areas
who feared for their safety. Shopping malls and supermarkets are ubiquitous in urban Thailand – a
place for friends and families to hang out and dine and shop.

Bangkok Metropolitan Police
deputy chief Pol.Maj.Gen.Manit Wongsomboon said in an interview that the police have talked to many
shopping malls? security teams for better protection of citizens, for example, increasing the number
of security guards and CCTVs, and increasing the number of patrols, along with how to spot a
suspicious person who walks around in the parking lot but does not purchase anything.

He
said malls that do not yet have sufficient security guards will be provided extra police patrol. The
police stations that don’t have enough police officers will call for more volunteer workers to
patrol the area.

“I want to warn citizens, especially women that park in the shopping mall
parking lots to look around to see if there is anything unusual before actually unlocking their car.
In cases where the customer has a lot of merchandise that needs to be loaded into the car, it is
always good to ask the security guard to help or to accompany them.”, said the Deputy Metropolitan
Police Commissioner.

On the same day, Ek – Chai Distribution System Co., Ltd., owner of Tesco
Lotus department stores, expressed that the company is very upset about the incident and have
cooperated fully with the police in checking the details in the recording of the CCTV installed in
the parking area to be used as evidence on the case.

Teng Terd Terng, whose real
name is Mr. Pongsak Pongsuwan, was seen hugging Mr. Nattawut and giving speeches on stage. I want
Mr. Thaksin to come home quickly! he said to the audience, drawing applause.

He was refering
to Former PM Thaksin Shinwatra, who was ousted by military coup in 2006 and remains in self-imposed
exile, avoiding the corruption case that he called politically-motivated. Mr. Thaksin is a hugely
polarizing figure; the Redshirts see him as the democratically-elected prime minister who was robbed
out of his legitimacy by the pro-establishment groups, while the Yellowshirts think he is a corrupt
dictator.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Mr. Pongsak′s comment quickly drew sharp rebukes and
fervent supports from the Red and Yellow cybersphere.

Websites of the Yellowshirts-allied
ASTV: Manager featured Mr. Pongsak in the top news section, with headline Revealed Himself In
Birthday Party of The Autocrat: [Pongsak] Said He Wanted To See Thaksin Home. Many readers verbally
abused the comedy star in the website′s comment section. Yellowshirts Facebook groups similarly
hurled virtual abuses at him.

The color I define myself with is the color of Thai national flag. Please don?t pull
me or my work into politics. I don?t have mind for politics. I?m done. From now I won?t take jobs
from high profile people anymore. I?d rather do comedy shows to temple fairs. No troubles for me
there, Mr. Pongsak was quoted as saying.
