Court rejects bail for chief guard in Ubon Ratchathani shooting investigation

[webfact]

 

The Ubon Ratchathani provincial court has denied bail to the chief pub security guard, who was one of the suspects arrested by police for alleged involvement in last Wednesday’s shootout between guards from two local pubs in the car park of the Big C supercentre in Muang district, which left three people dead and six injured.

 

The guard, only identified as “Apiwat” of the Ekkamai 487 pub, was charged with murder and for carrying a weapon in public without a permit. He was escorted by police to the court to have his detention extended, pending further investigation.

 

The court rejected his bail application on the grounds that the shooting is a serious offence.

I think what he meant to say was: killing 3 and injuring 6 is a serious offence.
