A 50-year-old scavenger has confessed to a series of caustic acid attacks in Bangkok, admitting to about 30 offences in two months, police said on Monday morning.
Pol Maj Gen Kamronwit Thoopkrachang, the acting metropolitan police chief, said scrap dealer Rachan Theerakitnukul told investigators that he felt quite normal at the time, but had been using crystal methamphetamine, or ice.
The suspect said he committed the attacks because he felt neglected, under pressure and disrespected by people around him.
