Crime Chinese Man Claims Attempted Murder Over Knowledge of Business Secrets
Picture courtesy of Amarin. A Chinese national has filed a police complaint at Phaholyothin Police Station, Bangkok, claiming he was assaulted and threatened with death after allegedly discovering sensitive information about a Chinese-funded company operating in Thailand. The incident came to light when Mr Chanatat Patamapuwadol, a former MP candidate for Ayutthaya, and Dr Anantachat Buasuwan, a former member of the Chatuchak District Council, escorted the victim, a man from Hong Kong, to the police station to report the matter. According to Mr Chanatat, the attack occurred on 12 May at around 09:00, in the Samrong area of Bangkok, directly opposite a major department store. The victim alleges he was physically assaulted by an unidentified man and woman, sustaining injuries in the attack. Fearing for his life, the man fled to the Chatuchak district to seek help from Mr Chanatat and Dr Anantachat. He claimed he had been warned not to go to the police or seek medical assistance, under threat of being killed. The threats, he said, stemmed from his accidental discovery of confidential information relating to an online snack-selling business, allegedly backed by Chinese capital through a Thai nominee in the Samrong area. Mr Chanatat confirmed that he had initially helped the victim file a formal record of the incident and had contacted the relevant authorities to arrange further protection and legal support. The victim has since been assisted in retrieving his belongings from his condominium and relocated to a safe location. Authorities will investigate the claims and determine whether further legal action will be taken against the individuals involved in the alleged assault and threats.

Crime Aussie Nabbed: Phuket Airport Arrest for Violent Assault
Title said "violent assault". No mention of exactly what or against who. Property loss too - what specifically? Very little detail. If he behaved badly then he deserves what he gets. Suspect, it may be a jilted lover who made the report to police. Would like to hear more detail and the conclusion of this "case". -

Crime Son of Prominent MP Sparks Violence at Songkhla Polling Station
UPDATE Councillor Golf and Associates Denied Bail Over Polling Day Assault Pictures courtesy of Amarin. A Songkhla provincial court has denied bail to local councillor Siradon Phlaiduang, widely known as “Councillor Golf”, and seven of his associates, following their arrest for the alleged assault of a police officer during municipal elections on 11 May. The court ruled that the case is of serious public concern, involving a violent attack on a police officer during the performance of official duties. It cited fears of witness tampering and the audacious nature of the alleged offence as reasons for refusing temporary release. All eight men were immediately remanded to Songkhla Provincial Prison. The incident took place at Polling Station 7 in Moo 2, Phawong Subdistrict, Mueang Songkhla District, during voting for the Phawong subdistrict mayor and council. The victim, Police Senior Sergeant Major Nisathit Kongthep of Border Patrol Police Company 43, was providing election security when he was reportedly set upon by the group at the direction of Mr Phlaiduang. Siradon Phlaiduang, 28, is the son of Democrat Party MP Somyot Phlaiduang, who represents Songkhla’s Constituency 3 and serves as the party’s deputy secretary-general. The case has cast a political shadow over the Democrat Party, although MP Somyot has denied any involvement and condemned the use of violence. The suspects, escorted under heavy police guard from Mueang Songkhla Police Station to court, were named as follows: 1. Mr Siradon Phlaiduang (Councillor Golf), 28 2. Mr Phongthep Wadwilai (alias Nueng Freedom), 41 3. Mr Numsek Thongsri, 34 4. Mr Rapeepong Sawatchookaew, 40 5. Mr Jakkrapong Thepchoom, 45 6. Mr Sasarun Sangaobankok, 38 7. Mr Sarayut Noochaikaew, 32 The group faces three serious charges: 1. Acting together in a group to violently obstruct an officer in the performance of duty, including use of weapons; 2. Assaulting an officer during official duty; 3. Participating in a criminal gang. When approached by reporters as he was led to the transport vehicle, Mr Phlaiduang remained tight-lipped. From inside the van, he briefly called out, “I didn’t do it.” Asked whether he had ordered the attack, he shook his head but did not respond further. Public backlash over the incident has been swift. On 13 May, a civic representative submitted a petition to the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO), calling for an urgent ethics investigation. Calls have mounted for Mr Phlaiduang to be suspended from office pending the outcome of legal proceedings. PAO President Supit Pitaktham acknowledged the public’s concerns but maintained the incident was a private legal matter, not a political one. He also stated that there has been no coordination with MP Somyot and clarified that despite Mr Phlaiduang’s involvement with the PAO’s “New Songkhla Power” team, there is no formal political link between his organisation and the Democrat Party. In a statement released yesterday, MP Somyot expressed regret over the incident and insisted that the law must take its course. “I do not support violence in any form,” he wrote. “Let the justice system proceed without interference or bias.” The case continues to be closely monitored by both the media and the public, as questions grow over political influence, election security and the accountability of local officials.
