Court approves age test on tusks found in tycoon’s home

THE CRIMINAL Court on Monday approved a request by scandal-tainted construction tycoon Premchai Karnasutra’s wife that the four elephant tusks seized from the couple’s home earlier this year be submitted to two universities for age tests.

 

Police are now required to hand the tusks over to the court on October 8, after which they will be sent to Chulalongkorn and Mahidol universities for examination. 

The request is part of the defence by Premchai, his wife Kanitta and her aide Wandee Somphum. 

 

The three defendants are facing several charges over their possession of smuggled African elephant tusks. 

 

The tusks were found when Premchai and Kanitta’s mansion was raided on February 7. 

 

Evidence of hunting

 

The search was conducted after Premchai and his three alleged accomplices were arrested in February after officials found evidence that they had hunted wild animals, including a highly endangered black leopard, in Thung Yai Naresuan wildlife sanctuary, Kanchanaburi province.

 

To date, Premchai, Kanitta and Wandee have denied all charges. 

 

Kanitta claimed she inherited the tusks and had already declared them in line with the Ivory Act of BE2558. 

 

The three defendants have been released on Bt300,000 bail each.

Predictably, this case drags on as they line up for a cut before all are paid and he gets his stay out of jail card.

The tusk makes a perfectly balanced walking stick with jumbo's foot on the end whittled to perfection ?

What happened to his faeces they found beside his car. Have the the DNA tests found any evidence of panther penile matter? Or perhaps his faeces have disappeared just like the alleged tape recording of his bribe to the park ranger. Age of tusks found to be irrelevant.

A walking stick with a suction cup is also a good look. Slowly but surely the evidence is disappearing.

10,000 baht fine and 5 year suspended sentence.

These several months of waiting for the court's approval was for the counting and approval of the contents of the many brown envelops and of their proper delivery..

Ah, and I presume Premchai inherited the black leopard?

Premchai's tailor should do the same.

How can you say such a despicable then about such a well respected family and official institution?  Shame on you.  How can you make such possibly truthful and pejorative (judgemental) remarks?
