"Aunt Waew" brought chicken rice and some personal items to visit her husband, "Mr. Det," at Sawankhalok Police Station. She denied any knowledge of the theft of the first prize lottery ticket belonging to "Aunt Khayan" before refusing to provide information to the news team and quickly left to get into a vehicle.
In the latest developments of the chaotic lottery case, after police arrested "Mr. Det," who confessed to burning the first prize lottery ticket of "Aunt Khayan" to avoid liability, Mr. Det was held overnight in a cell at Sawankhalok Police Station. He was detained along with two other male inmates, and the atmosphere inside the cell was reported as normal.
Around 07:30 a.m., police officers brought breakfast—stir-fried basil with fried egg—to the three detainees. At 08:00 a.m., visiting hours were opened for relatives.
The first visitor to see Mr. Det was “Aunt Waew,” who brought toothpaste, toothbrushes, mosquito repellent, and chewing tobacco. However, police only allowed toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mosquito repellent to be brought in; the chewing tobacco was confiscated according to regulations.
During the visit, Aunt Waew made eye contact with Mr. Det through the cell bars, then quickly turned away. When reporters tried to ask about the case, she refused to comment and attempted to push the news team’s microphone away.
When asked if she was involved with the first prize lottery ticket, as rumors suggested she was among the first to know that Aunt Khayan had won, Aunt Waew briefly stated, “I don’t know anything; only Mr. Det knows.” She emphasized that the only person aware of the first prize lottery was Mr. Det, not herself.
Reporters also pressed her about rumors that Aunt Waew, Aunt Mee, and Aunt Khayan might have known about the lottery win since June 1st, but Aunt Waew did not respond and quickly walked away from the media.
Additionally, when asked if they planned to appoint a lawyer to defend the case, Aunt Waew replied only, “I don’t know yet,” and declined to provide any more information before quickly getting into a white four-door pickup truck that was not owned by Mr. Det’s family and leaving the police station immediately.
