Will there be more twists in gold shop killings?
14 Sept 03:03Key points summarised by AI
A respected school director, Prasitthichai Khaokaew, unexpectedly emerged as the prime suspect in Thailand's brutal gold shop robbery and triple murder, stunning the nation.
Investigators swiftly identified Prasitthichai through unique expensive shoes, his distinctive gait from a leg injury, and a high-quality, traceable firearm used in the crime.
Prasitthichai confessed, citing financial woes and claiming accidental deaths, but his 'suicidal' motive, the use of a silencer for intimidation, and the possibility of accomplices remain contentious.
His unsettling post-crime behavior, including returning to work and taking selfies, fuels public speculation that further revelations and twists in this high-profile case are yet to come.

Scientists confirmed six fossilized footprints in Udon Thani, Thailand, belong to a carnivorous theropod dinosaur from approximately 120 million years ago.
The footprints, measuring 29x26 cm, indicate a theropod estimated at 1.42 meters tall at the hip and 6.3 meters long, comparable to Siamotyrannus isanensis.
This discovery marks the first confirmed find of fossilized footprints from a meat-eating theropod dinosaur in Thailand, highlighting its unique paleontological significance.
The site will be protected under the Fossil Protection Act, with plans to develop it into a research center and a geological tourism destination.
