Drug-Addicted Man Torches Home After Wife Flees With Child
2h ago Khaosod

A drug addict experiencing severe hallucinations deliberately set fire to his home after his wife fled with their child in fear for their safety. Despite undergoing treatment multiple times, he relapsed each time he returned, ultimately losing control and burning down his own house. On July 10, 2025, at 3:15 p.m., investigating officer Lieutenant Colonel Sopone Jeerasut of Prajuabkhirikhan Police Station in Prachuap Khiri Khan received a report of a man in a delusional state burning his own residence in Khamtonod subdistrict. Firefighters were dispatched and quickly arrived at the scene. The single-story wooden house was completely engulfed in intense flames that spread rapidly due to the old, dry timber serving as excellent fuel. Firefighters deployed water to contain the blaze amid strong winds and desiccated wood conditions, eventually extinguishing the fire. Only charred posts remained. The homeowner was apprehended at the scene. Local administrator Suchat Dechsuphaa explained that the man had developed severe drug-induced psychosis and mental illness despite multiple rehabilitation attempts. Each time he returned home, he would relapse and use drugs again until he lost his mind and burned down his house. He previously had a family with a wife and child, but they fled because they feared his dangerous behavior, eventually leading to divorce. Authorities have filed preliminary charges and ordered a psychiatric evaluation before proceeding with legal action.

A fishing vessel named Wongcharoen 99 caught fire shortly after leaving port in Songkhla Bay. The Regional Navy Command 2 mobilized resources and deployed Royal Thai Navy vessel HTMS Chakri 858 to spray water and foam to contain the fire. All nine crew members were safely evacuated.

The incident was reported at 5:11 p.m. on July 10, 2025. The Wongcharoen 99, which departed from Wongcharoen port at 4:30 p.m., experienced a fire in the stern area as it was leaving Songkhla Lake Bay heading into the Gulf of Thailand to fish. The Fishery Inspection Management Center Zone 8 (Songkhla) identified the vessel as registration ทบ.267430218, call sign TM4836D, grossing 57.79 tons and equipped with bag net fishing gear. The vessel had properly filed its fishing departure through official systems before the incident, and authorities coordinated with security and maritime rescue units immediately.

After the fire, the Regional Navy Command 2 mobilized resources and dispatched HTMS Chakri 858 to spray water and foam to control the fire. The Water Police, the Regional Port Authority (Songkhla branch), and relevant agencies supported operations including area safety management, traffic control, and crew evacuation from the danger zone. Firefighting efforts took over an hour due to the large quantities of fuel oil and fishing equipment aboard, making extinguishing efforts difficult.

The Fishery Inspection Management Center Zone 8 (Songkhla) confirmed that all nine crew members are safe, comprised of five Thai nationals, three Cambodians, and one Myanmar national. There were no reports of injuries or deaths. The vessel damage assessment and fire cause investigation remain ongoing as authorities work to document facts and determine official damage valuations.

Two intoxicated men riding a motorcycle weaved dangerously for more than a kilometer before colliding head-on with a sedan, killing both riders. On July 10, 2569, police in Muang Rayong District responded to reports of a motorcycle-car collision with fatalities on Mae Rampung Beach Road in Tambon Tatpong. At the scene, officers found one male victim on the roadside while another injured male was already transported to hospital.

A witness provided dashcam footage to police showing the motorcycle's erratic path from Ban Kon Ao in Tambol Phe heading toward Mae Rampung Beach. The two men appeared heavily intoxicated, swerving repeatedly across lanes for over one kilometer and narrowly missing several oncoming vehicles before finally crossing into the sedan's lane at high speed, resulting in a violent collision that threw both riders across the road.

Police initially transported both victims to hospital and are investigating the incident further under criminal law.

Father Arrested For Child Sexual Abuse In Udon Thani
4h ago Khaosod

On July 10, Saang Khom police questioned a 28-year-old man, identified as Mr. A, after receiving a complaint that he sexually abused his biological 11-year-old daughter for over two years. District Chief Chaiyanrong Suradanai and Police Lieutenant Colonel Kan Tangwijit, the station commander, led the investigation.

Chaiyanrong revealed that the girl's fifth-grade teacher noticed her unusual depression the previous week and questioned her. The child disclosed that her biological father had touched her body inappropriately and frequently touched her private areas for more than two years, starting after he was released from prison on drug charges.

The girl told her teacher that her father had been doing this continuously and once told her: "If you weren't my real daughter, I would definitely..." The shocked teacher reported the matter to village authorities and submitted a formal complaint to the district office.

The girl's aunt filed a police report seeking maximum punishment against the man. The girl's mother, working overseas, immediately resigned and returned home upon learning of the abuse.

After investigators gathered evidence from witnesses and believed the allegations were substantiated, police obtained an arrest warrant from Udon Thani Provincial Court. Mr. A, who is divorced and lives with his parents and daughter, was taken into custody. He initially denied the allegations, claiming his daughter made the accusations because she was unhappy at home and disliked her grandmother's complaints about her coming home late. Police have detained him pending further investigation.

Couple Arrested For 7.7 Flash Sale Delivery Scam

A couple in Nong Chok was arrested for orchestrating a 7.7 flash sale delivery scam, ordering products via app with cash-on-delivery, then directing drivers to leave packages at abandoned houses before collecting them without paying. Police

Couple Arrested For 7.7 Flash Sale Delivery Scam
5h ago Khaosod

On July 10, police arrested Jirayut (James), 28, and Prarthana (Nim), 28, at their residence in Nong Chok. The pair allegedly ordered products during the 7.7 promotional sale on a delivery app, requested cash-on-delivery payment, then directed drivers to leave packages at abandoned houses before collecting the goods without paying.

The investigation began when a delivery driver reported missing merchandise and unpaid funds after completing a delivery. Through CCTV footage and witness statements, officers identified the suspects. A search of their home uncovered numerous unpaid-for items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash. During questioning, the couple admitted to the scheme, saying they used some items personally and sold others for cash.

Their method involved instructing drivers to place packages in front of abandoned properties, then claiming they were unavailable and would transfer payment later. Once the driver left to make other deliveries, they collected the goods and disappeared, ignoring subsequent payment requests.

Police charged them with theft using a vehicle to facilitate escape. Investigations expanded after multiple delivery riders identified confiscated items as their own stolen packages, suggesting the couple may have victimized numerous others. Nong Chok police urged all delivery workers to exercise caution, insisting on meeting customers in person and receiving confirmed payment before leaving any packages.
