However, from initial investigation, the officers knew that she had family problems and needed to earn money by herself to study, she also learned from many websites how to inject various kinds of chemical solutions because she could make approximately 10,000 THB each time and she had done it 10 times before she was arrested, but this is very dangerous because she couldn’t check peoples medical backgrounds as she wasn’t a medical professional.
