Thread: Police arrest German man for assaulting dentists in Nakhon Ratchasima

A 41-year-old German man was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting dentists at multiple clinics in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Mueang district.


The arrest followed an appeal from the Nakhon Ratchasima Dentist Club to Korat police, urging them to locate and apprehend the expatriate, who is married to a Thai woman and resides in Tambon Don Chompu, Non Sung district.

According to the club, the suspect had repeatedly attacked dental clinics in Mueang district since November last year, leaving local dentists in fear. He allegedly assaulted dentists and sent threatening messages via their Facebook pages.


In response, officers from Jorhor Police Station obtained an arrest warrant from the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Court for the suspect, identified as Matthias.

Police tracked him down and arrested him at the Klang Villa shopping mall parking lot on Sura Narai Road in Mueang district around 5pm.


He was taken to Jorhor Police Station, where officers coordinated with the Nakhon Ratchasima Immigration Police and a German-language interpreter to proceed with legal actions.


He testified through an interpreter, admitting that he was indeed the person named in the arrest warrant. However, refused to provide any statements to the police, insisting that he would only testify in court.


A background check confirmed that he had a valid visa, renewed annually. Today, the police will seek court approval for his detention and submit a request to the Nakhon Ratchasima Immigration Office to revoke his visa, citing him as a dangerous individual posing a threat to society.


As the next step, the Immigration Office will summon the victimized dentist to provide testimony, along with supporting evidence and CCTV footage, to aid in the consideration of the suspect’s visa revocation.

German man accused of attacking dentists found dead in Korat

A German national, who was arrested and released on bail by Nakhon Ratchasima police last Tuesday on charges for assaulting several dentists, was found dead in his home in Non Sung district, Nakhon Ratchasima province yesterday.


Police are investigating the manner of his death. While suicide is a possibility, he was found with a deep cut to his neck and his room had been ransacked.


Police said that the victim’s Thai wife, who is working in Prachin Buri, contacted her husband’s friend to do a welfare check, because she lost contact with her husband.


The friend went to the house in Don Chompoo sub-district, but there was no response when he knocked on the door and rang the doorbell. So, he went to see the village headman and they broke into the house, with the help of neighbours.


They found the 41-year-old German lying dead on his bed in shorts and a vest. A five-centimetre long laceration was found on his neck. The room was in disorder, with multiple documents scattered across the floor. Two Rottweiler dogs were found next to his body.


The local police were then alerted.


Police were in the process of seeking the German’s deportation, because of his for alleged assaults on dentists in the province since last November. Police also claim that he has been undergoing treatment for mental issues.

Perhaps he ransacked his own room before reaching for the knife.
