'Am Cyanide' cleared of 2022 greengrocer murder
11 Sept 06:34 Key points summarised by AI
- The Criminal Court acquitted Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, known as "Am Cyanide," of the premeditated murder of greengrocer Rosjarin Nilnoi in 2022.
- The court ruled that prosecutors failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Sararat poisoned the victim, citing insufficient evidence linking cyanide to the death or her administration of the poison.
- Key prosecution evidence, including a witness's testimony about the poisoned salad delivery and the alleged 60,000-baht debt motive, was deemed unreliable or unproven by the court.
- This acquittal occurs amidst other ongoing legal proceedings, where Sararat has received death sentences (some commuted to life imprisonment) in several other cyanide poisoning cases, alongside another prior acquittal.
