Additional charges of rape and assault are to be filed against two of the five boys currently being held at two remand homes, in Sa Kaeo and Chanthaburi provinces, on charges related to the murder of a mentally-troubled woman in Aranyaprathet district on January 11th.

According to Aranyaprathet district police, the additional charges follow complaints filed against the two boys by their prospective victims.

Police will also seek warrants for the arrests of the two boys, who are already in detention. Both suspects are due to be taken to the Sa Kaeo prosecutor’s office for questioning onWednesday.

Pol Maj-Gen Omsin Boonyanosont, the commander of Sa Kaeo provincial police, said that they have tightened up night-time street patrols in Aranyaprathet, to discourage youths from loitering in public places after 10pm.
