geriatrickid Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The burden of proof is on the prosecutor. It must be shown that the . injuries hastened the man's death. If there were underlying medical conditions, it won't be an easy case to prosecute. The estate can probably squeeze some money and a few wais from the bully though.

webfact Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 82-year-old assault victim dies, assailant faces new charges of causing unintentional death By The Nation File photo A 21-year-old motorcyclist, alleged to have assaulted an 82-year-old tricycle-riding scavenger over a minor collision in Bangkok’s Huai Kwang district on March 13, has been hit with an additional charge of causing death to another person by inflicting injury without intent to cause death. The new charge was filed against Narathorn Sodetiyung, son of a Pratunam-based clothing retailer, at 1.30am on Friday morning after victim Jaroon Maneephan died at 10.40pm on Thursday, said Huai Kwang superintendent Pol Colonel Kampol Rattanapratheep. The charge carries a sentence of imprisonment for 3-15 years. Narathorn - who denied the new charge as police are still waiting for a medical report to confirm the death’s link to the assault – was brought to court on Friday for a court order for the first 12-day detention period. The suspect’s girlfriend, identified only as May, said she would apply for a bail release for Narathorn so that they could attend Jaroon’s funeral in Ayutthaya's Bang Sai district. Police objected to Narathorn getting bail as the offence carries a heavy punishment. Jaroon, who was said to be healthy from riding a tricycle while scavenging, became bed-ridden at home for 14 days following his hospital treatment for the serious injuries sustained from the assault. Narathorn reportedly negotiated to pay the family compensation by monthly installments of Bt3,000. Jaroon, who suffered from bedsores, was rushed to Rajavithi Hospital with a high fever on Thursday afternoon. His condition worsened and he stopped breathing. Medical staff worked unsuccessfully for 30 minutes to resuscitate him before pronouncing him dead at 10.40pm. Jaroon's younger sister Boonreun Thepphuthorn, 65, said she wanted police to proceed with legal actions against Narathorn over the death of her eldest brother. Jaroon had eight siblings.

Underlying medical conditions? you mean like being an 82 year old man who obviously lived a hard life and probably wasn't in great health. The attack on him was uncalled for but to blame the young guy for his death is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every chance that he would have lived into his nineties, like our khun pa who had a hard life as a poor farmer, but still gets up everyday to do his exercises. The young criminal very likely was responsible for robbing this man of a decade of what was no doubt to him an enjoyable life. Certainly his relatives seem to miss his company. The post mortem will tell if he died of something else unrelated, but to call the suspicions and charges from the police in this case "ludicrous" is, in itself, ludicrous, IMO 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bill Miller Posted March 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2018 What a complete <unmentionable> jerk. He did not just act in heat of the moment. He parked his motorbike and then pursued the grandpa a good thirty meters before cowardly suckering him from behind, and following up with further abuse when he was on the ground. A regular event in other nations to upgrade the charges to manslaughter in an instance where a victim dies subsequent to assault. I really cannot understand why anyone would try to defend or excuse such actions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
