- Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, known as “Am Cyanide,” is Thailand’s first suspected female serial killer, accused of murdering at least 14 close acquaintances between 2015 and 2023.
- Investigators allege she used cyanide to poison her victims, primarily for financial gain, with the deaths often initially attributed to natural causes like heart failure.
- The extensive murder spree was uncovered after suspicious behavior at a friend's death scene and the discovery of cyanide in the victim's autopsy, prompting a deeper investigation into other mysterious deaths linked to Sararat.
- The case is currently in court, where Sararat faces the death penalty if convicted, with her former husband and lawyer also accused of evidence tampering.
