Police insist key witness in ‘Boss’ case died in an accident

By The Nation

 

 

Police announced on Thursday (August 13) that autopsy results show Jaruchat Madthong – a key witness in Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya’s hit-and-run case, had 218 milligrams of alcohol in his blood and this was the cause of the accident that killed him. 

 

Pol Lt-General Prachuap Wongsuk, chief of Provincial Police Region 5 said the autopsy had been done at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. 

 

He added that Jaruchat’s missing phone is also being tracked down by the investigating team. 

 

Jaruchat was killed in an accident in Chiang Mai on July 30, just one day after Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha set up a panel to review the Office of the Attorney General’s decision to drop charges against the member of a super-rich family. People have been speculating that somebody may have wanted Jaruchat killed, especially since his testimony would have put Vorayuth in hot water. 

 

Prachuap added that Jaruchat worked for the Chiang Mai magnate Chuchai Lertpongadisorn, who has already testified to the police.

And Boss travelled at 77kph, less than 60kph and 177.25kph. So naturally the "Witness" died of natural causes. Is the other "Witness" under Police protection?

No one believes Anything the Thai police say, and amazingly, the thai police don't understand why

They have such a good reputation for honesty and integrity I am very surprised they have had to clarify the point...

 

Wonder what the combined i.q is in that photo....

 

Wonder how many are unusually wealthy in that photo... 

 

 

Insisting is now sufficient in replacing a full, detailed, open, independent and non-bias investigate... 

 

‘Insisting’ saves a lot of man hours and hard work.. it's easier.

As to the wealthy ones, only those wearing masks

Plenty of lost face there!

 

how many Generals this country has? 5 top flyers for 1 picture and a few in the background.

This reads right. 

 

 

.2 % BAC so he was quite  drunk.  What about the others guy? Was he tested and charged  with drunk driving?

I hope not. Then he will soon hang himself in a cell located in a corridor that have a broken video surveillance.

Sadly this is the only sensible response that this article deserves. ????

The timing was impeccable . 

Never trust a policeman that exposes his chin or possibly that his wife is only a 32b ????

No comment.

Oh be nice. That's too cliché!

Having several well dressed cronies behind you just gives off desperation of wanting to be believed.  The sad thing about the Thai government is its lack of transparency which leaves little in the way of trust.  Boss gate, panther gate all make the average Thai feel that the 1% are way above the law.

Come on folks, just look at the photo in the OP, all those senior policemen, so it must be true.

It was just an unfortunate accident.????

Anybody who believes that is a fool.

If only the police had done their job correctly in the first place, keep loss of face out of this he broke the law and should be made to pay to society for his obvious lack of remorse and feelings for other less fortunate people who don't have mega rich families to help smooth out life's wrinkles. Boss should also be made to pay for all the time wasting he has caused, police time, court time etc. .............!!!

I was in the company of a couple of educated professional Thais (senior nurses) yesterday evening when this business was being discussed on the TV. Their anger at the obvious corruption was palpable, as was their contempt for the police spokesman and frustration at the apparent inability to do anything about it.

 

As one said: " money, only money".

Plus the fact that there's no such thing as an 'accident'. It's always the result of some error somewhere - whether drinking, drugs, driving without due care and attention, not obeying traffic rules, etc.

 

It's one of the reasons the UK police changed from using the three-letter-acronym RTA - Road Traffic Accident, to use RTC - Road Traffic Collision.

..utter rubbish..the witness died of injuries sustained as a result of a motor vehicle accident...by the way...this so-called witness had never given testimony nor been challenged.

...straight out of 'The Art of War'...set your strategy and let the masses take the story and run with it..then slowly distance yourself. The Police are there to investigate and present their un-biased findings to the Prosecutor, and that's it.

...of course he did...

The autopsy showed death occurred as a result of injuries hitting the road... that's all.

If it was an accident why did his mobile phone mysteriously go missing....

Stop giving lies to the public, they're getting sick of it.

Sadly it is the norm here when someone involved in a road accident their phone gets stolen.

Mine did, plus money from my wallet.

so the alcohol did it, not the guy that hit is bike that made him fall

 

wonderfull thailand

 

can pigs fly already overhere ?

Accidents happen, especially when they’re pre arranged

We should all feel sorry for the guy who caused the latest accident.  It will be too dangerous to pay him now so they can offer him a valid reason for not paying him.  555

My brother-in-law is still lives in Chon Buri lost his phone, watch and wallet about 6 years ago on Christmas Eve after a Falang firm Christmas break up party.  Both he, and the guy who knocked them off the bike were probably under the affluence of incohol.

How low must you be to steal an injured person's belongings?

 

Truly wretched, debased... I would say not even human.
