A Thai court sentenced Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, 36, to death for murdering a friend with cyanide, part of a series of alleged killings of 14 acquaintances since 2015. Sararat, nicknamed "Am Cyanide," reportedly poisoned her victims, stole valuables, and had a gambling addiction. Her friend Siriporn Khanwong died after a trip with Sararat in 2023, leading to her arrest. Investigators uncovered traces of cyanide and missing possessions. Sararat pleaded not guilty, while her ex-husband and lawyer received jail terms for evidence tampering.
