Ex-cop in lottery row invokes supernatural ‘to punish liars’

AFTER POLICE summoned him to hear two criminal charges, a retired police lieutenant yesterday challenged a teacher involved in a dispute over a multi-million-baht lottery jackpot to make a pledge in front of Kanchanaburi’s sacred City Pillar Shrine to determine who was telling the truth.
 

Former police officer Charoon Wimul threw down the gauntlet yesterday to teacher Preecha Kraikruan, Preecha’s witnesses and police.

 

The two men have been embroiled in a high-profile dispute about the real ownership of lottery tickets that won Bt30 million in the November 1 draw.

 

Charoon said Provincial Police Region 7 chief Pol Lt-General Kittipong Ngaomuk’s announcement on Wednesday that he would be charged with embezzlement and receiving stolen items was unfair because there was not enough evidence to back Preecha’s claim.

 

“I’m the party in the right, but have been subjected to abuse all along ... I bought the tickets and I won the prize. How can I accept such an accusation? I believe evidence might have been fabricated,” he said.

 

Charoon also dismissed as impossible a police comment about eyewitnesses seeing him picking up lottery tickets from the ground. 

 

He said that while he was out shopping for food for his wife, he had on impulse bought the set of five lottery tickets for Bt700 from a female vendor at the Red City Market, but he could not remember any other details about her. 

 

Charoon added that he had cooperated with authorities who had taken his fingerprints and tested his DNA – which had proved that he had handled the tickets – and was ready to undergo a lie-detector test upon request. 

 

Charoon also called for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to send a neutral party to investigate the case. 

 

“To prove my sincerity according to Thai beliefs, my family and I will pledge an oath on February 11 in front of Kanchanaburi’s sacred City Pillar Shrine, and if I am lying as I have been accused of, may the supernatural entity punish me and my family. In that event, I would like to challenge teacher Preecha, his lottery vendor witness and policemen taking Preecha’s side to join the ceremony, so the liars will be punished severely,” he said.

 

Meanwhile, Kanchanaburi superintendent Pol Colonel Paiboon Praesinuan led officers to examine a CCTV camera that Preecha claimed had captured Charoon picking up tickets from the road, but could not find it. 

 

Instead, they found a power pole near the market’s shrine, with vendors saying a camera on the pole had been removed two years ago.

 

The controversy hit the headlines after Preecha complained to police that he had bought and lost five tickets in October that had won the jackpot in November.

Lol. Asking the PM to send an impartial mediator? 

“To prove my sincerity according to Thai beliefs, my family and I will pledge an oath on February 11 in front of Kanchanaburi’s sacred City Pillar Shrine, and if I am lying as I have been accused of, may the supernatural entity punish me and my family."    

 

     I like it, If I am a liar, may pigs fly out of my arse!     Look no  flying pigs, thats proof I am not a liar.  Brilliant!!

if this ex cop found 30m baht lying in the street would he think it was gifted to him by the SUPERnatural

 

I think everyone now understands that he DID NOT  buy the ticket and we all know who did 

Jesus! These are the people you’re supposed to call if there’s been a crime. Absolute children.

it is telling that a former law enforcer has no faith in the results of the 'justice' system here

Kanchanaburi police are way to corrupt to be involved in any real police work. Best never go the station when assistance is needed.

Sorry NACC is busy investigating Prawits watches.

The rubbish Thais believe in. Why cant they separate fact from fiction. Like the fact that catholics can commit all the sins they want, and on a Sunday can go to church and the priest will get god to forgive us. Now, that is fact. Then eat some of gods flesh, drink his blood, and all is well.

They did till the army inserted itself.  They will again when the armed forces fade.  Until Thailand sacks the police; investigates their assets and punishes the unusually rich, this country will continue to wallow in mediaeval times.

I also invoke the supernatural on a weekly basis and can confirm it don't work.

My wife was up yesterday morning burning paper to try and read the ashes and spends hours trying to work out what is going to win - gets up at 4 am to do this on lottery day sometimes - and she is a school teacher.

 

We needed loo paper yesterday, she bought some tickets and i bought the loo roll - low and behold she won nothing, whilst the bar codes first three numbers were the winning lottery numbers ! Next time, we buy the loo roll, then do the lottery - probably as lucky as the dead cow and all the other mumbo jumbo

Of course his fingerprints were on  the tickets, as he picked them up from the street.

 

This guy should be in jail, instead of in the news, for lying to police investigators.

So, there is no cctv footage? 

 

Sorry, but if that’s the case, I’m back to believing the ex-bib’s version of events. 

Please tell me if I am mistaken, but did I not read about a week or so ago that the police had deemed the ex policeman to be the rightful owner ????

Solomon had it. Split the prize and have done with the horse and pony show.

yes, the guilt is lifted when you believe, you could say Muslims are not murdering people just killing bastards.

 Good point, on the other hand maybe it's a case of 'the verdict is not what I want'.

He has invoked the spirits to punish liars, he should be careful he's not labelled by the spririts as the person to be punished. 

 

The report missed out the fact that the lottery ticket seller had identified the teacher as a regular customer and the one she told the tickets to.

So the teacher bought 5 sets of tickets, dropped one set,

which turn out to be the winners,a Policeman picks them

up,the odds of this happening must be as big as winning

the lottery,I suppose the winner was the one who was prepaired

to pay the biggest donation to the Police welfare fund.

Does he not trust those investigating him?
