Lawyer denies aiding Thai cyanide serial killer in evidence concealment

Thannicha Aeksuwannawat, the lawyer of Thai cyanide serial killer Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn denied charges of assisting her client in destroying or concealing evidence. Thannicha reported to the Crime Suppression Division’s head office yesterday to face charges of aiding another person in evading punishment or receiving a reduced penalty by destroying or concealing evidence of crimes, in violation of Section 184.

After two hours of questioning, Thannicha informed reporters that she acknowledged the charges after a suspect in the case accused her of orchestrating the concealment of evidence.

Thannicha did not name the suspect, but it was apparent that she referred to her client’s former husband, Pol. Lt. Col. Withoon Rangsiwuthaporn, Bangkok Post reported.

Sararat, who is 36 years old, was arrested on April 25 at Chaeng Watthana Government Complex in
