Police have detained the "sister and uncle" suspects in the "Nong Ogn" case and filed a petition for their custody at the Kanchanaburi Juvenile and Family Court (Thong Pha Phum), currently awaiting the court's consideration. They are now pending the court's decision.
The case involves a young girl who went missing in Sangkhla Buri District, Kanchanaburi Province, causing concern among her family and the local community for several days. On 6 Jun 2026, Regional Police 7 solved the case, discovering that the perpetrators were not outsiders but close relatives. This led to the arrest of a 13-year-old juvenile, the girl's sister, and a 17-year-old uncle, as previously reported.
Most recently, today (7 Jun 2026) at 09:00, reporters at the Kanchanaburi Juvenile and Family Court (Thong Pha Phum), Tha Khanun Subdistrict, Thong Pha Phum District, Kanchanaburi Province, observed court officials and security staff preparing to receive custody of the suspects in the "Nong Ogn" case. The suspects, Mr. Pae (a pseudonym), 17 years old, the uncle, and Miss A (a pseudonym), 13 years old, the sister, arrived at the Thong Pha Phum court at 10:30, escorted by relatives and police. The court was to consider the police's request for juvenile detention.
The court will hold a hearing today to decide whether to grant detention or bail. Under the Juvenile and Family Court Act of 2010, the investigator may request detention for no more than 30 days at a time. If the investigation is incomplete, the investigator can request extensions of up to 15 days each.
The detainees will be sent to the Kanchanaburi juvenile detention center. Since the case carries a penalty exceeding five years, the investigator may request up to two additional extensions, for a total of no more than four times, each not exceeding 15 days. The court's decision on the custody petition is awaited, and further updates will be reported.
