In a dramatic turn of events in Ratchaburi, authorities have managed to apprehend a male accomplice who allegedly facilitated a high-profile prisoner‘s escape from a hospital in Nakhon Si Thammarat. However, the prisoner continues to elude the police.

 

Previously, we reported on the audacious escape of a prominent prisoner named Chaowalit Thongduang also known as Sia Paeng, a well-known figure in South Thailand.

 

This dramatic incident took a new twist this week as 28 year old Suthiwat Khunnarong, also known as Norn, was taken into custody by the Hunuman Special Unit in Ratchaburi. This arrest followed the issuance of an arrest warrant by the Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Court on October 27.

 

Suthiwat stands accused of assisting the influential prisoner in his daring escape. He reportedly confessed to the charges, identifying himself as the escapee’s driver. Post-arrest, he was transported to the Nakhon Si Thammrat City Police Station, where further investigations and legal proceedings are underway.
