Police rescued a four year old boy from a forest in Lop Buri province after he was assaulted by his grandmother’s boyfriend and abandoned after the man believed the child had died. Authorities also coordinated with officers in nearby provinces to help locate the missing child. Police later reviewed CCTV footage from the area and identified Banjong’s boyfriend, 31 year old Armin, as the main suspect. When the boy was first reported missing, Armin allegedly lied to Banjong and other family members. Armin’s mother, 65 year old Sri, told police that her son behaved suspiciously after the missing person report was filed.
