Wife Denies Involvement in 6 Million Lottery Theft, Husband Admits Burning Tickets

The report begins with the arrest of 'Dech' in connection with the theft of a 6 million baht lottery ticket. His wife, 'Waeo,' is interviewed, initially appearing cooperative but later showing signs of distress.

Footage shows 'Waeo' being interrogated by police. She is seen looking at her husband, 'Dech,' through a glass partition, displaying a somber expression.

'Dech' maintains that 'Waeo' is not involved, stating he acted alone. He is questioned about his ability to repay the 6 million baht if 'Ya Khayan' cannot recover the winnings.

'Waeo' is taken for fingerprinting. She reiterates her lack of involvement and states she has provided all information to the police, expressing concern only for her husband.

Surveillance footage from June 6, 2569, shows 'Dech' and 'Waeo' leaving together on a motorcycle, heading towards a rice-field hut, which is believed to be where the lottery tickets were burned.

The report details the dilapidated rice-field hut where 'Dech' allegedly hid the lottery tickets. A demonstration shows how he folded and concealed the ticket in a small hole in a pillar.

The reporter visits the rice-field hut, describing its poor condition and explaining why 'Dech' chose this remote location to burn the winning ticket.

The location where the lottery tickets were burned is shown. Evidence of a fire pit with burnt debris suggests the tickets were indeed destroyed using dry leaves and grass as fuel.

The report highlights the disappearance of 'Yee Mee,' a key witness who initially gave conflicting statements about 'Ya Khayan's' visit to 'Waeo.'

'Waeo' is released temporarily pending a court appearance, while 'Dech' remains in custody. The report questions the couple's relationship and motivations.

The report delves into the relationship between 'Dech' and 'Waeo,' starting from their meeting in 2015, their marriage, and 'Dech's' unsuccessful attempts at political office.

Footage shows 'Dech' at a temple, having vowed to ordain if he escaped punishment. This vow was made on June 6, the same day he burned the lottery tickets.

A temple elder and the abbot discuss 'Dech's' vow, stating that the temple will not allow ordination for someone involved in criminal activity and that such vows are considered sinful.

'Ya Khayan' expresses relief and disappointment. She plans to use any recovered funds to repair her home and will continue to buy lottery tickets.

'Ya Khayan' states she cannot forgive 'Dech' for burning the tickets and questions 'Waeo's' initial denial of involvement, suspecting collusion from the beginning.

The report concludes by noting that 'Dech' and 'Waeo' are facing charges, while 'Yee Mee' remains missing. The possibility of further involvement from others is considered.
