Policeman charged with wife’s murder

By The Nation

 

Pakkapong Pongpetra

 

A police officer, whose wife was found dead under suspicious circumstances, was charged with murder and decommissioned on Monday (June 22).

 

The body of Pimchadaporn Pooyamsai, 30, was found on a sofa in her house in Bangkok’s Bang Kapi district on Saturday with a .45 pistol in her hand. Bullet marks were seen on the left-hand side of her head.

 

Her husband Pol Captain Songkrot Boonsong initially claimed his wife had killed herself, but her family dismissed the claim, countering that the shot was on the left side of her head, while Pimchadaporn was a right-handed person.

 

On Monday, Metropolitan Police chief Pol Lt-General Pakkapong Pongpetra said forensic tests proved the cause of death was not suicide and Songkrot was taken in for questioning, during which he confessed to shooting his wife. He claimed he snapped while they were having an argument and that he was having problems with his in-laws.

 

Pimchadaporn’s mother said Songkrot was a hot-tempered man and often assaulted his wife, so when she heard that her daughter had killed herself, she refused to believe it.

This is why police never solve anything here. Did he also get it wrong during the re-enactment?

It seems cops rarely do jail time, even for murder.  They play the "as a former cop I'll be a target in jail" card.  AFAIK, the cop who killed a French guy and his girlfriend on Sukhumvit 13 four or 5 years ago, on camera and in front of a dozen witnesses is still out "on bail".  If I'm wrong about this, please correct me.

You mean hers ????

 

[Nkpjed]

Tragic for the girl and her family.  Another moron with a gun that should get the death penalty but sadly probably won’t.

[notasmartassknowitallfarag]

WE never to get to hear about the sentences....only that they were charged. 

[Stargeezr]

Another man who would not take responsibility for his actions  until cornered 

like the rat he is.  Too bad the death penalty is not applied in Thailand,  like it is in China. Oh

well maybe in the future.

Geezer
