webfact Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Cha-Am shooting: "Tessaban" Suspect allowed to go home on 400K bail as two victims fight for life Picture: 77kaoded The suspect in the shooting of two men at a set of deck chairs on the north end of Cha-Am beach on Tuesday evening gave himself up to police about four hours after the incident. He denied everything. His hands were checked for gunpowder residue. Cha-Am police station chief Pol Col Woradech Suankhlai said he did not bring the gun used in the incident with him. Police are hunting for it. Thanaphon, 32, was charged with attempted murder, having a weapon in public and discharging it. Next day (Wednesday at 11am) police allowed him to walk free. They granted him bail in the sum of 400,000 baht with one deputy saying they were confident that he would not interfere with witnesses. Meanwhile on Wednesday 77kaoded reported that the two victims who were shot multiple times are critically injured in hospital. Both are in comas at Phra Jom Klao Hospital in Phetchaburi and both have collapsed lungs. Most seriously hurt is Jurakit, 35, who was hit five times. The other victim is Krissada, aged 25. There was evidence of at least 14 shots having been fired at the scene opposite Soi 4 at the north end of Cha-Am beach, a popular tourist area. It was reported that the alleged shooter is a member of the Cha-Am municipal council or "tessaban". Police said that further charges could follow depending on the condition of the victims and that bail could also be increased.

Popular Post sirocco Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 yes, incredible that he was able to pay his deposit of 400,000 BT. He must have a hell of a address book or have some disturbing information. It stinks of corruption, and maybe that's the price to keep quiet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JusticeGB Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) They need to give him enough time (outside of custody) to intimidate possible witnesses. I believe that this is written in the handbooks of BIB. Edited August 20, 2020 by JusticeGB Spelling mistake 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pedrogaz Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 How on earth can you give bail to someone who has admitted shooting multiple bullets into two people. If one dies in hospital it will be a capital murder offence....why would he stay in Thailand if he is on trial for his life? If he has spent enough years collecting bribes as part of his job, he will have plenty of loot stashed away. This bail is part of the Boss System of justice. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Saucage Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Obviously he is a hiso. And the criminal code of Thailand - itself consisting of paragaphs similar to rubberbands - is only a tool to serve conveniently the real, unwritten law of Thailand, which is Sakdina.

Speedhump Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Look, come on, what are all these stupid comments about? He gave himself up because he is a suspect, but says he didn't do it. So why does the article say he didn't bring the murder weapon. If he says he didn't do it? Anyone actually reading the article, before becoming a chatting washerwoman? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
