Am Cyanide Receives Third Death Sentence in Eighth Poisoning Case
The Criminal Court has issued a third death sentence to Sararat 'Am' Rangsiwuthaporn following her eighth conviction for premeditated murder.
On September 22, 2026, the Criminal Court in Bangkok delivered a verdict in the eighth poisoning case involving Sararat 'Am' Rangsiwuthaporn, widely known as 'Am Cyanide.' The court found her guilty of the premeditated murder of Jantharat 'Jum' in Phetchaburi province, resulting in a death sentence.
According to Khaosod English, this latest ruling brings the total number of judicial outcomes for Sararat across eight decided cases to three death sentences, two life sentences, and three acquittals. The series of cases has drawn significant public attention due to the nature of the crimes involving the use of cyanide.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the ongoing judicial proceedings regarding a high-profile criminal matter in Thailand. While these legal developments are significant, they do not directly impact the safety or travel status of visitors to the country. The legal process remains complex, with multiple cases still subject to judicial review or potential appeals. Observers should continue to monitor official reports for updates on the remaining cases, as the final tally of convictions and sentencing may evolve as the court system processes the remaining charges against the defendant.
