Drug-Addled Teens Smash 66-Year-Old Woman's Room, Case Stalls
A 65-year-old woman's room was vandalized and slashed with knives by drug-addled teenagers at a Bangkok housing project in May, but Bang Khae Police have made no arrests despite CCTV evidence and witness testimony over two months later.
On July 6, 2569, at the Saimai Must Survive page office, 65-year-old Phen filed an urgent justice complaint regarding an incident in which she and her 18-year-old granddaughter were victimized by a group of teenagers who destroyed property and used knife weapons to slash her room door at the Aue-athan Housing Project on Phemi Sin Road. The incident falls under Bang Khae Police Station's jurisdiction, but no case progress has been made despite more than two months passing.
The incident occurred on May 21, 2569, around 7:00 p.m., when Phen was resting in her room with her granddaughter. A group of teenagers first caused a disturbance upstairs, then came down to Phen's room and violently slashed the door with knife weapons, causing severe damage. The terrifying behavior shocked Phen so greatly that she lost consciousness at the scene. The exact time the perpetrators fled remains unclear.
After the incident, Phen immediately filed a report with Bang Khae Police Station investigators. However, to date, no arrests have been made, despite having crucial evidence in the form of clear CCTV footage documenting the incident and the criminals' behavior. This has forced Phen and her family to live in fear and anxiety about their safety and property.
Phen provided additional information that she knows one perpetrator is "Nai To," who previously knew her son and had visited the upstairs room to eat. However, she is uncertain whether Nai To had any personal conflict with her son.
She urges police to expedite the arrest of all perpetrators and proceed with legal action, as well as promptly compensate for damages.
Ekphop Lueangprasert, founder of the Saimai Must Survive page who is assisting in this case, stated the case is not complicated at all, as there are witness testimony, circumstantial evidence, and clear CCTV video footage documenting the incident. He urges Bang Khae Police Station to accelerate their work and pursue the teenage perpetrators for legal proceedings as soon as possible, as the victim has suffered and awaited justice for more than two months. He expressed confidence that if police proceed seriously and diligently, the perpetrators can be arrested and prosecuted within just two days.
