Pol Maj-General Thirapat Wongratpithak, commander of the Metropolitan Police Division 4, said Thongprakai Suksriraj, 26, “admitted during the interrogation that she had made up the story”. A police source said the investigators doubted her account and interrogated her for hours before taking her for a medical check-up to Nopparat Hospital. The source added that investigators also checked footage from security cameras at the intersection and did not see the robbery incident. The footage at the condo showed that she had got off the taxi and gone inside alone and she emerged with a friend about 30 minutes later and went to the police station. Thirapat said police will hold a press conference later today and announce charges against the woman.
