Investigators are narrowing their focus in the killing of Phakaphumi (Noi), 34, who was shot multiple times and killed around 9 p.m. on July 4th beneath an apartment building in Moo 13, Om Noi subdistrict, Krathumbaen district, Samut Sakhon.

On July 6th, Region 7 Police Commander Pisit Tanprasert assigned Deputy Commander Chomchawin Puradhananont to chair a case progress meeting at Krathumbaen Police Station, attended by senior officers and investigators.

Chomchawin stated the case has made considerable headway with several investigative leads. While institutional factors have been mentioned in media reports and remain one line of inquiry, police have not ruled out other angles, still believing the motive stems from the victim's personal affairs. The perpetrator's actions show careful planning.

Police emphasized their full-time commitment to the investigation within tight time constraints. The institutional angle represents only one of two to three primary theories under examination. Other leads continue to be pursued simultaneously, though details cannot be disclosed as this would compromise the investigation and officer safety.

Regarding the victim's previous report of suspicious strangers lurking nearby, police have already gathered substantial information on this matter but cannot yet reveal it publicly. All potential leads are being investigated and cross-examined to establish facts before determining which angles warrant continued pursuit and which should be discounted. A dedicated task room has been established for daily case monitoring.

On July 6, 2025, Facebook user "Keng Indigo" posted disturbing footage after finding their rental room turned into a pile of garbage. The landlord expressed fury at the couple's disgusting behavior, with waste accumulating to waist height, used sanitary pads left inside, and food scraps scattered around. The landlord questioned how the tenants could live in such conditions, noting they had been accommodating by allowing rent payments in installments despite the couple never paying utilities on time.

The landlord shared photos of the trashed room before the tenants disappeared, leaving mountains of garbage that overflowed the space, making hallways nearly impassable and the sleeping area impossible to identify. Multiple commenters engaged with the post as the landlord elaborated that the couple had kept the air conditioning running all day while lying in bed, never disposed of sanitary pads, and had left the door barely openable due to garbage blocking it. The landlord expressed regret at having helped the tenants, stating they had done the right thing by the wrong people.

Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali has spoken about his move to Tottenham Hotspur following the club-record transfer. Tonali revealed that contrary to rumors of interest from four or five clubs, only Spurs actually approached him.

Tottenham's star signing, the 26-year-old from Newcastle United, joined on a deal worth up to £100 million, setting a new club transfer record. His contract runs through June 2028.

After three seasons at Newcastle, Tonali decided to make the move to London. Spurs had to work hard after their initial £80 million bid was rejected before eventually reaching an agreement worth £92.5 million upfront with £7.5 million in additional add-ons.

Tonali told BBC that he is delighted to be here, and that despite the rumors of other clubs' interest, Tottenham was his only choice.

"I had a conversation with Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou that lasted almost two hours, discussing the club, the fans, the stadium, and our team's vision. It felt like magic. I knew immediately I had to sign for Spurs. I've played against them before and have always been impressed by the incredible atmosphere from the fans. I can't wait to start the new season," Tonali said.

Tonali is Tottenham's latest signing, following Matheus Nunes' recent arrival from West Ham for £85 million, marking a major strengthening of Postecoglou's squad ahead of the new season.

A 61-year-old ride-hailing driver named Suphachai is demanding justice after being severely beaten by five Myanmar passengers who refused to pay their fare and left him permanently blind. The assault occurred on April 12, but the case remains stalled with no progress. Suphachai explained that he picked up the five passengers from Mochit, with one able to speak Thai clearly. They agreed to use an expressway route with an additional 50-baht service fee. Upon reaching a hotel in Samut Prakan province, the passengers refused to pay the 770-baht fare, claiming the app showed only 720 baht. Despite his explanation about the expressway surcharge, the group attacked him violently until he lost consciousness, and he received no payment whatsoever. He regained consciousness at the hospital after being contacted by police, who said they had checked the suspects' accommodation and obtained passport information. However, when Suphachai requested further investigation, police showed reluctance. After his hospital discharge, he attempted to give a statement, but officers claimed they didn't have the suspects' address, creating confusion about their work. The injuries have caused complete blindness in his right eye, along with headaches, brain bleeding, and constant tears, preventing him from working as a driver anymore.

Ekaphop Luangprasert stated that Suphachai's condition is severe, involving bleeding in the brain membrane, a fractured right eye socket, and permanent blindness. Saiymat Tongrot organization plans to personally take Suphachai to meet the police station commander to expedite the case, believing CCTV footage from the hotel area exists. They are calling for authorities to quickly prosecute the foreign suspects responsible for destroying a Thai citizen's life over a mere 50-baht dispute.

Thanakorn Vegetable Oil Products Company, a key business of the Poolphol group, is advancing its corporate social responsibility and sustainable development commitments by partnering with SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP) to launch the "Green Library: From Boxes to Books" project under the concept "Poolphol Shares Paper, Creating a Learning World." The initiative promotes paper sorting and recycling through a 100% closed-loop recycling process, transforming used paper into eco-friendly furniture including tables, chairs, bookshelves, and library equipment. The six-month project targets collecting 60,000 kilograms of used paper per library, with plans to deliver two green libraries—at Wat Sri Kongkaram School and Wat Khlong Morn School—by 2025.

The project is built on circular economy principles, elevating used paper from waste to a resource that creates new value for society. Through SCGP's recycling innovation, paper can be efficiently reused, reducing waste volume, conserving new resources, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions—supporting the low-carbon society and Net Zero goals.

Petch Wanglee, Managing Director of Thanakorn Vegetable Oil Products Company, stated: "We believe sustainability requires participation from everyone. The Green Library project represents our commitment to linking collaboration between group companies, employees, and the public to transform used paper into new value for society, creating learning spaces for youth. We hope this project will not only reduce environmental impact but inspire people to recognize the value of resourceful consumption and build a better future for communities and young people."

Peerpong Thepwarin, Recycling Solutions Manager and Acting Recycling Materials Management Director at SCGP, said: "SCGP aims to leverage recycling expertise and innovation to elevate used paper into new value through circular economy principles, transforming it into strong, safe, and environmentally friendly furniture for libraries and youth learning spaces. This collaboration demonstrates that innovation achieves maximum value when connected with multi-sector cooperation, extending resource benefits to the environment, education, and communities long-term."

Thanakorn Vegetable Oil Products Company will coordinate with group companies, employees, and stakeholders to collect used paper for SCGP's recycling process, while expanding public participation through installation of recycling collection boxes in leading economic zones and shopping centers, including Future Park Rangsit and Sathhorn Complex, to promote waste separation at the source and encourage resource conservation.

A four-year-old female stray dog named Mae Khao has become a beloved figure in Nakhon Nayok City, sleeping outside a convenience store at the municipal fresh market on Chaiyaphan Road. Nearly everyone in the neighborhood knows her. Mae Khao previously made headlines for regularly accompanying police trainees to their dormitory. Her daily routine includes playing with street vendors along the footpath in the morning, resting at the convenience store in the afternoon, and sheltering inside during storms. Local residents bring her food and fresh milk each evening. However, on days when her meal arrives late and she gets hungry, Mae Khao has developed a clever solution: she picks up discarded receipts and paper scraps left by customers at the store and trades them with nearby residents in exchange for food. Residents who visit the store find Mae Khao sleeping at the entrance and regularly stop to take photos and play with her.
