A Bangkok, Thailand woman accused of murdering at least 14 people with cyanide had a prodigious gambling habit, police said Friday.
Investigators believe this could explain why Sararat “Aem” Rangsiwuthaporn, 32, was allegedly so hungry for cash that she was prepared to kill friends and acquaintances to get her hands on it.
Sararat, who is five months pregnant, was arrested on April 25 following the suspicious death of her friend, Siriporn Khanwong. Investigators learned the two women had traveled together to Ratchaburi to release fish at a pier as part of a Buddhist protection ritual.
When Siriporn suddenly collapsed and died at the riverbank, Sararat left the scene rather than join bystanders in trying to help her friend.
