Police have detained Chaowalit “Paeng” Thongduang, who remains resolute after nine hours of interrogation, denying all allegations against him. He was remanded by the Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Court before being flown to Bangkok.

 

Officers from Nakhon Si Thammarat City Police Station escorted Chaowalit from his cell to the provincial court early today, ensuring strict security throughout the journey. The court proceedings took approximately one hour, and by 9.03am, Chaowalit was transported to Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport to board a flight to Bangkok.

 

Police Major General Somchai Suetortrakul, the Provincial Police Commander, confirmed that the interrogation concluded at 4am. Initially, local police conducted the questioning, followed by officers from Phatthalung Province who questioned Chaowalit in connection with three additional cases.

 

During the questioning, Chaowalit provided limited information and did not exhibit signs of stress. His brother and two lawyers were present throughout the process. According to the police, Chaowalit exercised his right to remain silent and denied all charges, said Somchai.

 

“Chaowalit denied all allegations and chose not to provide statements during the investigation, which is his legal right. Therefore, there was no need for further detainment for interrogation purposes.”

 

At 8am, police sought the court’s permission to remand Chaowalit. Following the court’s approval, Chaowalit was handed over to the Department of Corrections, which arranged for his transfer to Bangkok. The Air Force’s C130 aircraft awaited him at Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport, reported KhaoSod.
