Lanlabelle latest: "Pretty Boy Ai Un" in custody after charges issued by court

 

Thai caption: Ai Un is eventually arrested

 

Police in Bangkok have arrested the 24 year old man at the center of the death of Thitima Naraphanphiphat who died after an afternoon drinks party last week. 

 

"Lanlabelle" was found dead on a sofa in the Talat Phlu area of Bangkok after a party in Bang Bua Thong. Ratchadech or "Ai Un" - referred to in the Thai press as a "Pretty Boy" - was caught on CCTV carrying her into the condo complex and later dragging her onto a sofa in the lobby where she was later found dead. 

 

Lanlabelle was a pretty or hostess hired to pour drinks at the party and was found to have 400 mg of alcohol in her system, enough to cause death. 

 

The case that has captivated Thailand took several decisive turns yesterday.

Earlier a press conference after a high level police meeting was told that doctors had determined that Lanlabelle died between 3pm and 7pm. 

 

A Smart Watch could not pinpoint the exact time of death with accuracy meaning that investigators were in a quandary about where she died, reported Naew Na. 

 

If it was 3 - 5 pm then she was at the party and it was in the jurisdiction of the Bang Bua Thong police. If it was 5 - 6 pm that was the time that Ai Un was driving her to the condominium in Bang Khun Thian. If 6-7 pm then it would be the responsibility of the Bukkalo police and she had died while at the Talat Phlu apartment.

Later Sanook reported that the Thonburi court had issued an arrest warrant on three charges of detaining and leading to death, taking away in order to molest and molestation against Ratchadech, 24. 

 

Last night police went to arrest him but backed off when he refused to open the door saying he wanted to see his mother and father. 

 

He was later arrested at a gas station. 

 

He denies all charges.

If his mom and dad are influential, they would make the arrangements indeed....

I can see where a brown envelope bidding war between the Bang Bua Thong and Bukkalo oxygen thieves may have contributed to the delays in arresting this bit of self-ejaculate.

My god. Life really is imitating art. The art in question being something from a kid's illustration book. 

 

I think the police here need to be trained in understanding the normal dynamic between themselves and alleged criminals/criminals.

Why wreck a good door with a forced entry and risk this alleged criminal the chance of self-harming or jumping out the window? Just wait until the feckless pretty boy feels the need to go for a drive to see his mummy and pick him up at the gas station.

I'm guessing the cops watching the house for him absconding were just lucky enough to be buying a doughnut and a chang at the gas station at the time

‘Nam Oon’ nabbed while fleeing over death of ‘pretty’ Lunlabelle

By The Nation

 

 

Male model Rachadech “Nam Oon” Wongthabutr has been brought into police custody under a court-issued arrest warrant over three criminal charges in relation to the death last week of a 25-year-old “pretties” model widely referred to by her nickname “Lunlabelle”.

 

Police are extending their investigation with the aim of also netting other suspects, Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Sutthipong Wongpin told the press on Wednesday.

 

The 24-year-old Rachadech was arrested on Tuesday night as he filled the tank at a gas station on Ratchadapisek-Tha Phra Road with his mother in the car. Rachadech, who was identified as the last person to be with the victim, denied the warrant’s three charges of alleged illegal detention resulting in another person’s death, taking away another person for a lewd act and molesting another person.

 

He maintained his innocence throughout a five-hour interrogation, while insisting that he did not realise that Lunlabelle might have been already dead at the time that he took her to his condominium in the Talad Plu area, Sutthipong told the press conference at the Bukhalo Police Station. Rachadech later left her in the condo lobby in the early hours of September 17.

 

On Tuesday, Metropolitan Police Area 8 chief Pol Maj-General Samrit Tongtao told reporters that the autopsy report initially cited the victim’s time of death as being somewhere between 3pm and 7pm.

 

Samrit declined to comment about biometric information obtained from the smartwatch that the victim was wearing on September 16.

 

At the time, she was at a private party after being hired to pour drinks and entertain the guests. Samrit confirmed that the smartwatch, which has not yet been confirmed as qualifying as a medically certified device, would be included as evidence.

 

A police source, however, said the smartwatch’s biometric information was available until 5pm, which was around the time that Rachadech posted a video of her passed out at the party. If 5pm was later deemed to be when her heart had stopped, that would mean she was already dead by the time Rachadech took her to his condo room. She was there for six hours before he took her down to the lobby and left her.

 

The hosts of the private party, brothers Nathee Sathitpongsathaporn and Chaiyapol Panna, told reporters that they would let justice run its course so the wrongdoer(s) would be punished. The brothers have vowed their innocence in the death of Lunlabelle in front of the shrine of a supernatural being. They have also insisted that they did nothing wrong at the party, which some people have said it allegedly involved lewd acts and drugs.

 

Earlier this week, Samrit told reporters that the initial autopsy result found a high level of alcohol in Lunlabelle’s blood, suggesting she may have died from alcohol intoxication. No narcotics were found in the body. The initial result also did not find body fluids from another person in her body.

 

The mysterious death of the popular "pretties" model Lunlabelle has gripped the Thai public and netizens as a stream of viral CCTV footage and video clips, as well as other clues, have come out. This case has also exposed the entertainment business world where product-presenting models known as “pretties” make their living as “party entertainers” in exchange for high wages despite the risks to their personal safety.

"Pretty Boy" is not really a good nickname to have where he is headed.

[NoBrainer]

Knock, Knock

Who's There?

It's the Police.

What do you want?

We just want to talk.

How many of you, are out there?

There is just two of us.

So you can talk to each other then!

What has he been convicted of (in the real world, not in the minds of some posters here) that could have him headed somewhere?

So he resisted arrest when the police went to get him by refusing to open the door.. so they left him alone?
Later finding him at a gas station... Unbelievable ?

[Krungbin]

And what about "non assistance to a person in danger"? Instead of driving her to his condo, why did he not drive hervto the nearest hospital?

[Almer]

They didn't arrest him because he wanted to see his mum and dad, if i get in trouble i will try that, my parents died 30 years ago.

[Tropposurfer]

RTP police procedures and or not following them. What a farce to attend an address with suspicion and or warrants/orders to detain/arrest a person and not doing so because the suspect wouldn't open the door. Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Farcical !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oldest trick in the book. Leave the guy thinking they've backed off and nab him later. Even Kojak used it.

 

...and Dixon of Dock Green.

[Arkady]

So far there is nothing to suggest that Mr Nam Oun murdered the victim, even though he may have behaved in a suspicious manner than suggested he had planned to rape her. There is no evidence of any date rape drug, although someone must have plied the victim with enough alcohol to kill her.  There also seems to be a potential case of drunken driving, if he drove himself home from the party.
