webfact Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Ex-deputy commerce minister Banyin arrested for alleged murder of judge’s brother By THE NATION Former deputy commerce minister Pol Lt-Colonel Banyin Tangpakorn has been arrested for alleged involvement along with three accomplices in the suspected murder of a brother of a judge of the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court. Investigation officers arrested the 56-year-old former Nakhon Sawan MP of the now-defunct People's Power Party on Sunday (February 23). The judge’s brother has been missing since early February. Police arrested a suspect who reportedly confessed that he had kidnapped and murdered the victim and dumped the body in the river in Nakhon Sawan province, and claimed Banyin was involved in the crime. Police reportedly made the arrest based on CCTV footage in front of Southern Bangkok Criminal Court which showed the victim being kidnapped by a group of men while he was getting into a taxi on the evening of February 4. The missing man is the brother of a judge who is working on a case in which Banyin is among the defendants for allegedly fabricating and using fake documents to claim more than Bt300 million worth of shares belonging to construction tycoon Chuwong Saetang. Chuwon was found dead in the front passenger seat of a car driven by the uninjured Banyin after it hit a roadside tree in Bangkok’s Prawet district on June 26, 2015. Police suspect the victim’s kidnapping was aimed at pressuring the judge to drop the case. Currently divers are searching the river for evidence and the body of the victim.

mtls2005 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 This case is approaching the Saudi Gem "affair" in duration (20 years, if you go back to when Banyin's first wife died under eerlily similar circumstances), greed, (innovative murders: 3 iron to the head), police involvement, cover-up. What always surprised me about this case was how easy it was for a grotty cop, and the mia noi/GF to murder and steal the frotune of a higher-status scion, leaving his family high and dry with little recourse. Thai lakorns are more believeable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai lakorns are more believeable. Two young women involved in the share fraud part with him. One who he denied even knowing was pregnant and DNA proved he was the father! Dragging on and on, with at least one prosecutor declining to prosecute (wonder why?). Ex senior policeman and ex politician. Clearly believes he can get away with anything. And is doing so far. This latest twist might be his undoing, depending how well connected the judge is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how you make a judge do what you want. You give him a summer residence, that's how. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 amazing story that would catch major headlines if happaned in a developed country. those are the kind of people who destroy a whole country development and condemn many to life of poverty and misery. he is not new to this game, propably used to get away with such crimes until he got used to it, because when it is poor simple people the special police teams don't come... and he was the commerce minister deputy...amazing...
