Parents of an 8-month-old baby in Nakhon Pathom are prime suspects in their child's disappearance, undergoing nine hours of police questioning.
Authorities emptied the septic tank at the couple's home after discovering newly-laid cement around the toilet, though no suspicious items were found.
Neighbours' testimonies, stating they saw the baby at home on the day of disappearance and no strangers in the area, fueled suspicion against the parents.
The couple vehemently denies selling or harming their infant, expressing hope for the baby's discovery as the search continues.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
