Granny's dark secret exposed

Sombat Sinothok: ‘‘If I didn’t collect these kids, then who would?’’ ARTHIT KHWANKHOM

 

The discovery of foetuses at a temple has a community in shock

 

The Bang Phra community in Nakhon Chaisi district is in shock after hearing of a dark and sinister secret surrounding one of the area's most respected families.

 

Sombat Sinothok, 61, has for years looked every bit a typical grandmother with many children by her side.

 

Community members understood she earned her living by buying unwanted low-quality coconuts from the local growers, breaking them into husks, shells and flesh before reselling them to different producers of coconut products.

 

That was until the arrest of her daughter, Lanchakorn Jantamanas, 33, made the headlines last week.

 

Police said Ms Lanchakorn confessed to being involved in events leading to the horrific discovery of more than 2,000 aborted foetuses hidden at Wat Phai Ngern Chotanaram in Bang Kholaem district.

 

Even more shocking was the revelation that four children, raised by Ms Sombat and thought to be her own biological grandchildren, have been identified as babies who Ms Lanchakorn claims survived illegal abortions and were brought home to her mother.
