webfact Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 In a heartfelt plea for justice, Mrs. Aomruthai Krajanswang, a 42-year-old resident of Ban Kurt in Prachuap Khiri Khan, has called attention to the death of her eldest son, Suphawis Krajanswang, 25, following a hit-and-run accident on March 8, 2024. The alleged perpetrator, identified only as a German national, is accused of showing no remorse for the incident, prompting concerns about accountability and justice. Suphawis, described by his mother as the “major pillar” of their family, was fatally struck by a Ford car while spending time near the beach at Ban Kurt after a volleyball practice session. His untimely death has left a void in the lives of his parents, who are both vendors at the local market. Known for his hard work, savings discipline, and friendly demeanor among customers, Suphawis’s loss is deeply felt within the local community.

Gottfrid Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 As it has been looking lately, this is most likely just another nutcase foreigner that feels like the big boss in Thailand. However, the news information does not say much. Do they have any proof he actually is the right person? If so, they would have arrested him, I guess. That remains to be seen. If he is the perp and the police see it as he is at fault, then of course the family should have justice. What I am thinking about, is what kind of justice they are looking for? Is that to see the German get a sentence and sent to prison? Or is it just that they are looking for economic compensation, like a great payday? If the latter, my recommendation is that they seek to settle it in a civil case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sydebolle Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 It is called police and Thai law. Losing a child is the most terrible thing which can happen to any person but let the authorities execute. It does not take the media to accuse anybody or anything as well as it does not take the media to glorify a person they never met. To the parents, I share your grief over this most terrible loss in your life and hope that over time you will be able to cope with the untimely loss of your loved son. And to all the others, stay factual, correct and less xenophobic - thank you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Not defending the German if he is guilty.. then throw the book at him of course... But.. why is this one of the first times I've read of these potential charges... Quote Despite testing within legal limits for alcohol at the time of questioning, the suspect faces charges of reckless driving causing death and failing to render aid. The police are awaiting further tests to determine blood alcohol content levels. 'Failing to render aid' is a charge ?... So it is illegal to escape the scene of an incident ??? Or is this only a charge levied at non-Thai's when they 'hit and run' ??? Note any hit and run is a despicable act and needs to be punished significantly, regardless of position and nationality.

Note: "Efforts to confront the suspect began immediately following the accident, although initial attempts to make contact were hampered by the late hour and the suspect’s secured premises. Officers then questioned a 60-year-old German man the following morning, who has since denied involvement in the crash." Hua Hin link Seems it's not until the next day for car inspection and drug/ alcohol test. Police probably had to get a search warrant to enter the house?

AustinRacing Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 If it’s a hit and run one can assume the driver is at large. Question: how did they know he was German? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They found him but cannot throw him in jail until he's been convicted and showing remorse (for something that he claimed he did not do) is not a requirement. Neither is showing remorse even if he did do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korat Kiwi Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Where the heck is the proof that it was a German that hit this kid? Surely cctv or something to even suggest that. Which would/could lead to finding damage on the vehicle that hit him. Basic stuff really.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the investigation has already determined that the tragic incident involved the Germans car, otherwise why would they have tried to test him etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
