Police are considering ending the search for an 8-month-old baby boy who went missing on February 5th in Nakhon Pathom, suspecting he may have been eaten by canal animals.
Authorities believe the 17-year-old mother, Nim, lied about the baby's fate and are questioning her further, while her partner's testimony is considered truthful; human trafficking charges against the partner for a separate incident are unlikely.

Today 15:20 Key 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.
