Police have arrested Thana "Pong" (43 years old) and Thongchai "Thong" (39 years old) in connection with the deaths of Russian siblings who disappeared with a Honda ADV 150 motorcycle. Officers captured them in Wang Sombun District, Saraew Province, on July 31, 2025, after they fled a checkpoint in Chanthaburi Province in the early morning hours.
During interrogation, Pong confessed to the crime, stating "I'm done, I'll tell the truth." He admitted to shooting the brother twice and beating the sister to death in self-defense, then transporting their naked bodies to a forest area in Khao Chee Charoen, Chachoengsao Province, where he buried them. The motorcycle was dismantled and its parts buried as well. Pong had evaded checkpoints and hidden in a longan orchard, planning to escape to Cambodia through a natural border crossing at night after learning police would set up midday checkpoints.
Thong claimed he was not the killer, stating "I didn't kill them. Pong killed them. Pong had the gun and the explosives. Everything was Pong's doing. I just guided them to where the Russian siblings' bodies were buried."
Following their confessions, officers transported both suspects to a forest area in Khao Chee Charoen, Chachoengsao Province, to locate and recover the victims' remains.
