Thailand: Police arrested former beauty contestant Phetcharada “Nam Phet” Saengsakul and her boyfriend Suphaporn “Boss” Halmun, as well as two other accomplices.
One woman and three men were arrested on Monday for allegedly kidnapping Chinese national Wang Namfen, 34, and holding him for a ransom of 4 million baht.
The case came to light on Saturday when Wang’s friend, identified only as Yu, filed a report at Lumpini Police Station saying he was worried because he had not heard from Wang for several days. Officers from both Thonglor and Lumpini reported that the suspects have confessed to kidnapping Wang, who had previously been Phetcharada’s boyfriend.
Police said that Phetcharada, knowing that her ex-boyfriend was very wealthy, conspired with her current boyfriend and other friends to kidnap Wang and squeeze more money out of him.While being detained in Hua Hin, Wang was reportedly forced to transfer 2 million baht and then 900,000 to the bank account of an accomplice called Kob.
