Teen gamer thief now a killer
A Chiang Rai teenager is facing fraud charges after a young victim took his own life after losing all his money to him in a romance con.
Thanuphat James Maneesri, 18, of Huay Yod, Trang, drowned himself in a reservoir in the district on April 19. The youngster left a picture of a bank transfer slip on his phone, accompanied by the words fed up .
The find led police on a trial which took them to the run-down family home of Ton, 17, of Wiang Chiang Rung district, Chiang Rai, who had befriended James in February as they played the computer game ROM.
