rooster59 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Police checking veracity of 4,000 audio clips in lottery ticket case By THE NATION POLICE are checking 4,000 audio clips as key evidence in the probe into a dispute in Kanchanaburi province over Bt30 million-winning lottery tickets. Crime Suppression Division (CSD) chief Pol Maj-General Maitri Chimcherd, meanwhile, dismissed as untrue a rumour that police had forced lottery vendor Rattanaporn “Jeh Babin” Supathip to sign a confession that she had been lying. Rattanaporn “Jeh Babin” Supathip The CSD probe into the dispute between retired policeman Charoon Wimul, 62, and teacher Preecha Kraikruan, 50, over ownership of the tickets has yet to question local policemen, Maitri said. Three civilians interrogated at the Highway 6 precinct for 18 hours were later allowed to go home. Investigators would hold a meeting in a couple of days about this case, he added. Contradicting Maitri, a source at the Highway 6 precinct said five local policemen were summoned for questioning and were released at 4am yesterday along with a male civilian, while two female lottery vendors were released home an hour later. Meanwhile, Preecha, a school teacher at Thepmongkolrangsi School in Muang district, said he believed his three witnesses – Rattanaporn, lottery vendor Pattarida Phromta, and a local bank chauffeur nicknamed “Phaen” – would not retract their previous testimony that backed him because “they are telling the truth”. He also took exception to national police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda’s remark this week that compared this case to that of school teacher Jomsap Saenmuangkhot, who allegedly produced false witnesses and evidence to seek a retrial into a fatal hit-and-run case. He said his case was not that complicated and he hoped police would solve it by the end of this month, as Chakthip had promised. Preecha insisted he was the real owner of the tickets and had evidence to back up his claim, which he would present in court. “I don’t need to show my evidence via Thai social media to get support. I’m not worried that police are trying to paint me and Jeh Babin as liars,” he said. He dismissed as untrue a rumour that some of his lawyers wanted to withdraw from the case. “Now it is up to the police probe. I will accept the court ruling.” Preecha A police source said that the probe had obtained some clarity and progressed in the right direction after questioning key witnesses on Thursday. Officers would take into consideration forensic and other evidence, including 4,000 audio clips of witnesses, and they were currently checking if they were authentic or doctored, the source said. The controversy hit the headlines after Preecha complained to police that he had bought and lost five tickets that had later won the jackpot in the November 1 draw, which was then collected by Charoon. Although the retired policeman insisted he had bought the tickets and collected the prize accordingly, police have frozen the remaining Bt24.35-million prize money in Charoon’s bank account pending completion of the investigation.

Idiotabroad Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 This seems to be getting out of control. How much money are they spending to figure out a civil dispute among former friends. Will the winner of this float the bill for the investigation. Isn't it the job of the lawyers to collect evidence in a civil case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lawyers' job is to present evidence to the Court. That evidence is generally provided by the plaintiff/defendant. It is not the job of lawyers to find/create the evidence themselves. Indeed, such might create a conflict of interest and be in contempt of Court..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So why wasn't all this done at the beginning of the case. The force moves into overdrive for one reason and we all know what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
