Serial killer 'Am Cyanide' gets death sentence - gambling debts led to 15 poisonings

[doc_richard]

Thai gambljng case hits new levels of disturbing. Woman (36) gets death penalty for poisoning 15 with cyanide to cover gambling debts. This case has elements I've never seen before - the methodical planning, the betrayal of trust, the gambling addiction spiral. Thoughts on this unprecedented case?

First degree with zero remorse. Court documents show she was googling cyanide effects while still actively gambling.

Working in addiction counseling - this showcases the worst possible outcome of untreated gambling disorder. The progression here is textbook but the response... never seen anything like it.

The legal system there didn't stand a chance to prevent this. Underground gambling + loan sharks + no support systems = powder keg.

@lilyH what are those progression signs you mentioned? might help spot issues early

This isn't just about gambling. Medical reports show clear sociopathic tendencies. She kept detailed records of each victim's death.

Used to live in Bangkok. Underground gambling scene there makes Vegas look like kindergarten. Some places you literally can't leave until you pay.

but why poison? lots of gambling addicts find other ways out...

Because it was methodical. She got insurance payouts from some victims. Double profit...

Reading court transcripts - she specifically targeted people who knew about her gambling. Removing witnesses.

where'd you find court docs? everything i see is in thai

This will change Thai gambling laws. Parliament already discussing reforms.

Most chilling part? She streamed slots between murders. Talk about compartmentalization.

Forensics found cyanide residue in her keyboard. She was literally poisoning people then coming home to gamble more

 

[teKKonK]

The addiction part I get, but the calculation involved... different level

 

[fanpoker_Rex]

@doc_richard if i remember right you're forensic expert, how common is this level of planning in addiction cases?

 

[ego.paul]

Those Thai gambling sites are something else man. They have agents that follow you on social media, track your desperation.

Saw interview with victim's husband. She invited their whole family to dinner. Only wife came...

Anyone notice parallels to that Japanese insurance murder case from 80s?
