The spokesperson for the Royal Thai Police revealed that the National Police Chief has instructed a careful and thorough investigation into the "Nong Ongun" case, with strict enforcement of juvenile laws. Meanwhile, Provincial Police Region 7 confirmed their readiness to ensure fairness for all parties involved.
Today (6 June 2026), Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairong Phiwpan, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police and spokesperson for the Royal Thai Police, disclosed that Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphet, National Police Chief, has received reports on the progress of investigations by Provincial Police Region 7 and related units who identified the perpetrator and those involved in concealing the body of "Nong Ongun," a 7-year-old girl from Sangkhla Buri district, Kanchanaburi Province. The National Police Chief emphasized collecting evidence thoroughly and completely, particularly concerning juvenile offenders, instructing strict adherence to laws relating to children and youth.
The National Police Chief expressed gratitude to all parties involved in successfully resolving this case.
Reporters noted that concurrently, Sangkhla Buri Police Station released a statement regarding the death of "Nong Ongun," stating that
On 30 May 2026, Nong Ongun disappeared from her home in Tikrong Village, Prang Phlo Subdistrict, Sangkhla Buri District, Kanchanaburi Province. On 1 June 2026 at 10:00 a.m., Sangkhla Buri Police Station received a report of her body found in a bamboo forest within a rubber plantation, approximately 600 meters from her home.
Subsequently, Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphet, National Police Chief; Pol. Gen. Thana Chuwong, Deputy National Police Chief; Pol. Lt. Gen. Phisit Tanprasert, Commander of Provincial Police Region 7; Pol. Maj. Gen. Chomchawin Purathananon, Deputy Commander of Provincial Police Region 7; Pol. Maj. Gen. Phasawi Ruangphu, Commander of Kanchanaburi Provincial Police; and officers from Border Patrol Police Company 134, Forensic Science Division 7, traveled to Sangkhla Buri Police Station to plan investigative strategies for determining the cause of death of Kasama, also known as Nong Ongun, aged 7 years.
They devised investigative approaches to define the cause of Nong Ongun’s death, dividing duties among investigation and forensic teams to search for and gather evidence to determine the cause of death and identify those involved.
By 6 June 2026, the investigative team had collected sufficient evidence revealing that on 30 May 2026, around midday, Nong B (alias), a 14-year-old half-sister of the victim, intentionally pressed her hands over Kasama’s mouth and nose for approximately 2-3 minutes, causing death. Afterwards, Mr. A (alias), present at the scene, placed Kasama’s body in a rice sack on a motorcycle sidecar driven by Ms. Fa (alias), and dumped the body opposite the Khao Yai Shrine where it was found. Mr. A then burned the sack completely before returning home and did not report Kasama’s death to anyone. These actions constitute the following initial criminal offenses.
1. Nong B (alias), aged 14, committed the offense of "intentional homicide" under Criminal Code Section 288.
2. Mr. A (alias), aged 17, committed the offense of "concealing, moving, or destroying a corpse or part thereof to conceal the occurrence, death, or cause of death" under Criminal Code Section 199.
Finally, thanks are extended to the media for their coverage. The Royal Thai Police, through Provincial Police Region 7, Kanchanaburi Police, and Sangkhla Buri Police Station, will ensure fairness to all parties involved.
