THE Court of First Instance in Trat province yesterday (August 3) sentenced two defendants to life imprisonment and the third one to six years and eight months in jail for killing a man by backing their pick-up truck and hitting him twice and also severely beating him up after mistakenly believing that he had flung a glass bottle on the road as they passed by, Matichon newspaper said

.

However the three men, Mr. Arkhom Wararit, 37, the first defendant, Mr. Sittisak Wanglum, 33, the second defendant, and Mr. Jetnipat Khaokhawong, 33, will be taking the case to the appeals court as they deny the charge of deliberately slamming their vehicle at Mr. Nattapon Kitchanon, 30, saying they had reversed by mistake after shifting to wrong gear.

 

The plaintiff’s lawyer said in the incident that occurred in Mueang district on March 24, 2021 the deceased man did not initially have a quarrel with the three defendants with the glass bottle being flung on the road during an argument between a couple.

Life sentence for killing someone after road rage? And how can 3 people all back up a single truck? Weird story and I'll surely be very careful from now on not to get angry on the road. I mean if these people really do get the same prison sentence as the next serial killer who knows what less evil outcomes can mean in jail time...

Best read the article. 
 

“Upon the deceased appearing at the scene the first defendant reversed his vehicle and hit him causing him to fall on the ground. The second defendant then kicked him on the chin while the third defendant hit his head with an iron rod. After that the first defendant reversed his pick-up truck again and hit him for the second time. All three then fled.“

They deserve the death penalty.

I'll agree with the death penalty, an example be made to send a message. Too much of this killing for little to nothing going on in Thailand.

Do you mean to say you're driving a vehicle that you don't know how to control? 

 

This one is almost as good as the "brakes didn't work" excuse. 

 

So many lives ruined over absolutely nothing!

And they can't even arrest the Red Bull killer.  Thai justice is a joke.

always the vehicles fault never the operator.
