Now for our update:
At 10:36 PM on October 7th, Banglamung police, led by Pol. Lt. Col. Supawat Lattapreecha, arrested the suspect, identified only as 21-year-old Mr. Rungtawan, at his residence in the Naklua area. The arrest followed a tip-off from the suspect’s relatives that he was the one sniffing a woman’s underwear, which had been widely reported in the news.
According to police, Mr. Rungtawan confessed to the crime, claiming he had seen the underwear drying outside a room and impulsively took it to sniff. However, he denied having any ill intentions toward the owner.
Mr. Rungtawan was then taken to the scene of the incident to point out where the crime occurred. Police instructed him to apologize to the victim, who was present during the reenactment.
Police subsequently searched the suspect’s residence and found no illegal items. However, a background check revealed that Mr. Rungtawan had previously been arrested for snatching valuables from tourists and was currently out on bail. He was handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings.
