The court heard how Sararat and Siriporn participated in a Buddhist ritual in Ratchaburi province, leading to a fatal meal for Siriporn, who collapsed soon after. Autopsy findings confirmed cyanide in her system, prompting police to further investigate Sararat’s troubled history. Masked in smiles during her sentencing, Sararat denied all charges, while her defense team and ex-husband, who was implicated in helping Sararat evade justice, also faced legal repercussions. Siriporn's family was awarded compensation as the legal and emotional fallout from this case continues to reverberate through Thailand.

Cyanide, a lethal poison that inhibits oxygen absorption by cells, poses severe health risks even in small amounts, and its use is heavily restricted in Thailand.
