A woman, identified as "Pla," survived suspected poisoning after taking a capsule offered by "Sararat" for COVID-19, experiencing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, stiff hands, and cardiac arrest.
Pla, who knew Sararat and was owed money by her, became suspicious after learning of multiple mysterious deaths linked to Sararat and subsequently reported her experience to the police.
Police are investigating Sararat in connection with at least eight deaths, with one autopsy revealing cyanide traces; they have gathered circumstantial evidence, questioned individuals, and found bottles for testing, suspecting monetary gain as the motive.
