Police, Police revealed that local residents have observed that the fire in a community in the Yaowarat area was an eviction fire. They confirmed that no possibilities have been ruled out and are waiting for the results of the forensic evidence to determine the real cause. Pol. Col. Witawat Khengkhum, Superintendent of Plabplachai Police Station 2, went to the scene of the fire with the forensic team to investigate the cause. He then revealed that the cause of the fire has not yet been clearly concluded. We must wait for the results of the detailed investigation by forensic officers again, especially the results of the forensic examination. At this time, it is still not possible to conclude for sure whether the fire started in the dessert shop as reported in the news or not. Initially, from the investigation approach, no possibilities have been ruled out, especially the issue that the public has speculated whether the incident was an arson to use the land for commercial purposes or an eviction. Pol. Col. W itawat believes that even if the possibility has not been ruled out, it is probably just a rumor. It would be best to wait for the detailed investigation results from the police. In addition, more than a hundred people who witnessed the incident and live in the community have been questioned. Most of them said that they heard shouts that there was a fire and ran out. The results of the questioning will be used in the case file along with the results of the examination by forensic officers and the results of forensic science to find the real cause of this incident. However, no villagers have provided any information about seeing suspicious people entering or leaving the community. If the public finds any clues or suspects that there may be suspicious people, they can report them to Plabplachai 2 Police Station. Pol. Col. Witwat added that he has been coordinating with officials from all agencies, especially forensics, to thoroughly and quickly inspect the scene of the crime in order to return the area to the people so that they can inspect their properties. Officers will continue to patrol the entrances and exits of the community to prevent ill-intentioned people from stealing property in the area. Source: Thai News Agency
