Court of Justice to investigate Yala judge who shot himself

By THE NATION

 

 

The Office of the Judiciary announced on Friday October 4, that the court will investigate a judge of Yala province court who allegedly tried to commit suicide in his court room.

 

 

Khanakorn Pianchana, a senior judge at the Yala provincial court, pulled out a pistol and shot himself at the end of a hearing on Friday afternoon, officials said. He was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery for injuries said not to be life-threatening.

 

The Office of the Judiciary also reported that the judge is now in safe condition. A preliminary enquiry revealed that personal stress was the reason behind Khanakorn’s suicide attempt but the court will investigate further.

 

The announcement concluded with a statement that Judiciary executives were deeply concerned about the incident and are monitoring the judge’s condition closely.

 

Meanwhile, Future Forward Party secretary-general Piyabutr Saengkanokkul declared on Friday he did not believe the suicide attempt stemmed from stress, citing a 25-page statement that Khanakorn purportedly posted on Facebook on Friday before he shot himself.

 

The document states the case Kanakorn was hearing concerned national security and was related to secret associations, conspiracy and gun-law offences. The document allegedly described disagreements among senior judges over the ruling and Khanakorn’s reported decision to acquit all five defendants.

 

Piyabutr said Khanakorn had been sending him information since early September, asking him to help make it the public. “The priority now is to keep him safe from any harm, and I will do what he asked me to do – make this case public.”

This may get very interesting if it doesn't get buried.

I sense something ironic here.

 

Get well judge and go get them (hopefully, they won't get you first).

Strange story whereby the unknown is probably fare greater what meets the eye, and so many questions as well, is this the judicial system in thailand where judges are forced to rule against the finding and the truth? and that the only way to protests such pressure is for a judge to harm himself? is it only in the south and only when it comes to minorities or is it all practiced all over this country? and many more questions that i don't think anyone can really answer...

I don't think they will dig too deeply,as they might 

find the can of worms ,they don't want to open.

I have a suggestion for the so called court of justice. Investigate yourself. Look at the influence coming from the army and the state. Hold yourself accountable. 

[BestB]

Just to clarify , they going to investigate the judge not the claims he has made.?

The judiciary to investigate the judiciary. Just in case some civil security barriers need to be erected, the cone of silence put in place and the carpet lifted for incriminating evidence to be swept under.

[rwill]

He needs to be investigated for exposing government secrets.

So the white wash begins !!!

Pandora's box, but no doubt some influential folk would rather it remained unopened.

I think this will be very interesting because the news of this has gone world wide and it even states about the interference from his superiors.

Only because they haven't yet worked out a way to fail from long range.
