  "account": "On September 7, Thai police arrested a 51-year-old man, identified as Suchitchai, for allegedly sexually abusing koi fish in Bangkok. The incident took place outside a home on Soi Vibhavadi Rangsit 66 at around 8pm local time.\n\nAccording to Khasod English, Suchitchai, also known as Tong, had initially gone to the area to bathe. However, after seeing the koi fish in the pond, he reportedly became sexually aroused. He had allegedly masturbated with a fish twice before returning it to the pond.\n\nThe pond's owner, Bobby, had noticed the suspect's behavior through his CCTV camera, which had been adjusted to cover the pond. Bobby and his housekeeper were alerted when they saw Suchitchai masturbating beside the pond.\n\nPolice arrested Suchitchai a few days later in the Siang Kong Lak Si area. He admitted to committing similar acts with other fish, and to sexually abusing a female dog with puppies in the past. He also claimed to have used drugs he found, as he could not afford to buy them. Currently, investigations into the case are ongoing.",
  "summary": "He also allegedly told police that he had committed similar acts with other fish, saying he avoided sucker fish as they had spines.",
