A woman suspected of selling the same type of drug cocktail linked to a spate of deaths in Bangkok’s underground nightlife scene was arrested early this morning in the capital’s northern outskirts.
Sirikarn Chuakhetgum, 23, was arrested at her Sai Mai district home by vice cops acting on a tip that the area is the source of so-called K Powdered Milk, a blend of ketamine, heroin, speed and sleeping pills blamed for at least seven deaths this past weekend around Suan Phlu and Rama III roads.
“This is the first case of K Powdered Milk at the station, so we can’t tell right away what’s in the mix of the ketamine we got,” Sai Mai Police inspector Sumrid Vinitraksa told Coconuts Bangkok this morning of the drugs seized from Sirikarn. Capt. Sumrid said they were awaiting results from the national police lab.
