On May 27, 2569, a 46-year-old woman named Bunyapeng (surname withheld) filed a complaint with Deputy Colonel Ratchapol Wonguan, investigation officer at Ban Dueao Police Station in Kaset Sombun District, Chaiyaphum Province. She reported that on the night of May 25 at 9 p.m., her youngest son, a 15-year-old identified as "A" (alias), who was intoxicated and high on methamphetamine, assaulted her in her bedroom. The mother stated she was sleeping alone when her son entered and attempted to resist his advances, but she could not overpower him. The boy punched her once in the back and threatened to kill her if she did not comply, forcing her to submit. After completing the assault, the boy took old blankets and bedding to sleep outside the house before going to find his older brother. The next morning of May 26, the mother consulted neighbors about the assault and filed a police report.
Police subsequently visited the residence and inspected the bedroom, which contained an old mattress on the concrete floor. The house was in poor condition with wooden and corrugated metal walls, some damaged by the boy. The mother's husband had died two years prior, and she lived with her two sons.
During questioning, the 15-year-old suspect confessed to the assault, claiming he experienced sexual urges after lying on the mattress near his mother. He stated he dragged his mother off the bed and told her: "Mom, I want to have sex with you. It's better than going elsewhere and wasting money. Having sex with you costs nothing. If you don't agree, I'll hurt you more." This confession was recorded by Ban Dueao Police Station investigators.
Investigation revealed the suspect had a troubling history. During elementary school, he was known for being mischievous, frequently quarreling with classmates, and showing no fear of teachers, prompting school officials to regularly summon parents and village elders. After completing sixth grade, he did not continue his education. Reports indicated frequent conflicts with villagers. Last year, he punched an elderly woman in the stomach while she was making merit offerings at the local temple. Though relatives filed a complaint, the case resulted only in a warning due to his juvenile status. Subsequently, he developed a methamphetamine addiction and was seen carrying a machete, causing widespread concern among neighbors who feared for their children's safety. Village authorities finally intervened and coordinated with subdistrict administration officials.
