The Prime Minister canceled his engagement in Suphanburi to urgently fly to Chonburi following the case of two Russian siblings murdered. He declared he must see the matter with his own eyes, condemning the act as dishonorable and harming all Thai people, which affects national confidence. He confirmed the perpetrators must be severely punished, noting they had been released from prison, were involved with drugs, and continued committing crimes.
On 1 August 2026, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul prepared to travel to Chonburi Province to follow up on the murder case of Russian siblings and the killing of a family totaling three victims. Reports indicate the Prime Minister will attend a press conference summarizing the case and personally work to restore confidence due to the shocking nature of the incident, which impacts the country's image.
While meeting people in Suphanburi Province, Anutin remarked on the Russian murder case, stating that although there are auspicious matters today, there are also dishonorable ones. Two Thai individuals have brought disgrace, damaging Thailand’s reputation. He said he needs to see firsthand how brutal the crime was. It is not just the murder of foreign nationals or three Thai victims; it affects all Thai people by destroying the trust built with foreigners. The perpetrators, recently released from prison, addicted to drugs, repeatedly committing crimes, are responsible. This afternoon, he intended to meet Suphanburi MPs and tour various areas, but ultimately had to go to Chonburi to restore confidence. Those who have harmed the country to this extent must receive severe punishment that fits their wrongdoing toward the victims and Thailand. There must be no facilitation or assistance given, and steps must be taken to ensure swift heavy penalties. He apologized for not being able to stay longer in Suphanburi.
