Upon opening Mae Pattra's safe, only three items remained inside and were returned; the rest are missing. Wang Thonglang police have issued a summons for Benz, her son, but have not disclosed the date.
Following the developments yesterday, police summoned Mrs. Napat, known as Mae Pattra, the victim in a case involving forced relocation to an elderly care center in Kanchanaburi Province amid allegations of abuse and confinement, to Wang Thonglang Police Station to open the safe and recover assets.
Mae Pattra stated that the safe contained less than 80% of the assets from 9 million baht, with less than 1 million baht remaining. The assets left were accumulated after her marriage and intended as inheritance for her two children after her death. However, her eldest son hastened to claim the inheritance. She expects to recover all assets through the legal process. The remaining assets she plans to sell to pay off debts, especially to a sticker-making company that had filed a complaint against her while she was at the shelter. If any assets remain, she intends to use the proceeds for charitable purposes, supporting the poor by funding business ventures.
Furthermore, she intends to press charges against those involved in stealing assets from the safe. She has evidence confirming what was inside the safe but cannot yet disclose the nature of this evidence.
Police Colonel Jetsada Yangnok, superintendent of Wang Thonglang Police Station, stated that the investigation requires gathering evidence to proceed with charges. A summons has been issued for Mr. Benz, Mae Pattra's son, to meet with investigators, but details about the appointment date and time have not been disclosed.
Regarding the safe's contents revealed so far, 17 items were found, including the safe itself. However, only three items matched Mae Pattra’s declared inventory: a branded wallet, a 2-baht-weight gold bracelet, and a diamond-encrusted ring. These were returned yesterday, except the safe, which remains as evidence in the case.
The police must verify facts due to discrepancies between the assets Mae Pattra reported to investigators and what was found in the safe. She reported 13 items, but only 4 were located, leaving 9 items unaccounted for, which must be recovered for the victim. Some items mentioned in Mae Pattra’s media interviews were not on the inventory list. Since the safe was last opened in 2024, it is the investigators’ duty to collect evidence and clarify the actual status of the assets—what exists and what is missing—to recover them for the victim.
