Activist Kan Jompluang met with families of three Thai victims killed and buried in Chachoengsao by an alleged gang leader already confessed to the murders. The families claim police delayed action on missing-person reports, potentially all
Activist Kan Jompluang has traveled to meet relatives of three Thai family members who were killed and buried in Chachoengsao province. The alleged perpetrator, known as "Pong," has already confessed to murdering two Russian siblings and burying them in the area before later confessing to killing the Thai family and hiding their bodies near the same burial site. In a social media post, Kan shared the family's concerns about police response times. The family stated that they reported the disappearance to police multiple times over several weeks but received no action, and they believe that if the missing family had been investigated promptly and the gang arrested earlier, the two Russian victims would not have died. The family also noted that while missing person posters for the Russian victims appeared throughout the area, no such posters were made for their relatives, and they personally pursued the investigation rather than waiting for police follow-up—contradicting police claims that they had notified the family. The family questioned the apparent double standard in how Thai citizens without financial resources and Russian nationals were treated by authorities. Kan stated that he has reported the matter to the Chachoengsao Governor and has arranged meetings between police and the affected relatives.
