Thai Interpol seeks a Red Notice for three Chinese men wanted for the abduction and murder of a Chinese student in Nonthaburi.
The suspects fled to Chengdu, China, after allegedly killing 22-year-old Jin Can when her father refused a 500,000 yuan ransom.
Police believe the victim knew one of the suspects, who had courted her in China and followed her to Thailand with accomplices to execute the kidnapping plot.

Thailand's Education Ministry is implementing a four-pronged strategy to address its students' below-average performance in PISA 2025 and tackle significant educational inequality.
The plan prioritizes closing performance gaps by increasing funding for small and low-income schools, overhauling the curriculum to foster critical thinking, and adopting a data-driven management system to reduce teacher workload.
Key initiatives include enhancing school safety, combating cyberbullying, and expanding mental health support through peer-to-peer networks, recognizing the severe impact of distress on academic performance.
An education expert advises verifying if PISA improvements stem from structural changes, advocating for a revived STEM curriculum with practical 'learn by doing' methods, and urging bureaucratic reform to link teacher evaluations to student development.
