Khru Ong admits he plotted Khru Jomsap’s retrial bid

 

 

A schoolteacher who was suspected to be the mastermind of the plot to call for a retrial of Khru Jomsap Sanmuangkote admitted to the police after his arrest that he hired Sub Wapee to give false statement that he was the real driver, not Mrs Jomsap, who killed a cyclist in a fatal road accident 12 years ago.

 

Mr Suriya Nuancharoen, alias Khru Ong, was arrested near Laksi railway station on Saturday after police learned that he escaped to Bangkok to see a friend, said Pol Gen Wirachai Songmetta, the deputy national police chief, adding that Mr Suriya and confessed to the police that he was behind the plot to fabricate evidence to support Khru Jomsap’s plea for her retrial of the accident case in which she was convicted by three courts and sentenced to 3 years and two months imprisonment.

 

Mrs Jomsap was given a Royal pardon after having served one year and six months in prison. Since then, she tried to have her case revive, claiming that she was not the driver of the pickup truck involved in the accident, allegedly with the help of her colleague Mr Suriya.

She was released on a Royal Pardon, please don't say she was looking for a pay-out.

Edited November 26, 20178 yr by james.d

So one department of the justice department says her car wasn't involved in accident, so one assumes she was actually innocent.

 

Yet she still allowed [at the least] this fabrication to go ahead and then got busted.

 

The word stupid springs to mind.

There was a lack of evidence in an inspection done 12 years later. That does not prove the incident, which could have been the slightest contact, didn't occur.

A cynic might think that she has solicited false testimony more than once.

Suriya ‘makes admission’ to police in Jomsap case

By THAWEE APISAKULCHAT

Police are confident they have enough evidence against hit-and-run convict.

SCHOOLTEACHER SURIYA Nuancharoen has made admission to police in an alleged plot to clear his friend Jomsap Saenmuangkhot's name over a fatal 2005 hit-and-run accident, according to national police deputy chief Pol General Weerachai Songmetta.

 

Weerachai, who yesterday morning joined a meeting of investigators at the Nakhon Phanom Police Office while waiting for Suriya’s arrival from Bangkok, said a team of 50 police officers was set to handle this case and would start by interviewing 20 witnesses. 

 

 

More arrest warrants might be issued as there were at least 10 individuals who might be involved including some state officials, he added.

 

Weerachai said he had joined Suriya’s initial interrogation in Bangkok and Suriya had given useful information. He said Suriya confessed to have hired a man named Sert Roopsa-art at Bt200,000 to take the fall for Jomsap. But the circumstance made it difficult to pin Sert as a scapegoat (Sert reportedly didn't know how to drive), so he shifted to hire Sap Wapi with a promise to pay Bt400,000 but that also didn’t work out, Weerachai said.

 

The Bt170,000 that Sap presented to the court as compensation for the deceased victim’s family was also from 

 his group, in order to gain a credible ground for Jomsap’s petition for retrial, Weerachai said. 

 

Asked if the investigation would lead to punishment for some Justice Ministry officials who aided Jomsap’s retrial petition, Weerachai said whomever was reached through the probe would face prosecution and there would be no exemptions. 

 

Suriya was arrested at 10.30pm on Saturday near Bangkok’s Lak Si Train Station because police had traced his car’s GPS. 

 

 

He fled to Bangkok after arrest warrants were issued for him and Jomsap on Friday and then Jomsap was arrested on Saturday. 

 

As of yesterday, Jomsap maintained she was innocent but had not given a statement to police as she was waiting for her lawyer, whom she demanded to be present for fear of a “repeated history”, a police source said. 

 

Despite the report that Jomsap denied any wrongdoing, Weerachai said that police had sufficient evidence to incriminate her.

 

Jomsap was convicted and jailed by the Supreme Court in 2013 over a road accident that killed Lua Phorbumrung in Nakhon Phanom’s Renu Nakhon district on March 11, 2005. When she was released less than two years into her sentence, she continued to publicly claim her innocence. 

 

 

Her claim gained weight after Sap Wapi came forward to take responsibility for the accident. The Court of Appeals thus ordered a review of evidence to determine whether her case should be retried. The Supreme Court threw out Jomsap’s request for a retrial on November 17, stating that the new evidence she had submitted was not convincing. The court also pointed to the alleged plot to hire Sap to take the blame in place of Jomsap. 

 

Last week, Sap confessed to police that Suriya had offered him Bt400,000 if he successfully claimed responsibility for the road accident. 

 

Sap was among the seven people police had initially summoned to report themselves to officers today. They were Suriya, Sap, Jomsap’s husband Niran Saenmuangkhot, and witnesses Thassanee Hanpayak, Sap’s wife Chan Wapi, Boonterng Wapi and Lert Wapi. Boonterng and Lert have been cleared by police.

I'm only going on previous threads on this story that said the vehicle was not involved in an accident, a finding from some branch or other the justice department itself.

 

However, I could believe that this is a ''manufactured'' finding.

 

I'm as cynical as the next person and the word stupid still comes to mind when thinking about all involved in this story.

 

 

Who to believe?
What to believe?
Someone was left with egg on their faces.
Perhaps the only thing that can be believed is that the egg must be wiped off their faces.

She has already been released from prison- after serving half her sentence. She is age 55. What is her motive now in trying to allegedly bribe people to lie about the accident.  In addition, 400,000 Baht is a good chunk of money for a teacher. Where is all this money coming from and what is the motive and why would someone in the Justice Ministry allegedly help this particular woman . The key questions have not been answered.

who has the most clout to encourage people to tell lies ?

 

I have my own opinion on that and I'm not going to share it here

Yes, I agree and sometimes to preserve loss of face not only here in Thailand but other places also such as the US.
