A notorious online gambling site owner recently attacked a reporter during police questioning, further intensifying the ongoing investigation into his criminal activities. The incident occurred yesterday, December 10, at Chaiyapruek Police Station in Nonthaburi, following the arrest of the suspect.

 

The suspect, 38 year old Chakkrik Philaowan, has been under scrutiny for allegedly assaulting a 24 year old employee, identified only as No, by striking him with a metal object on the head, forcing hot water down his throat, and starving him for two days. This brutal treatment reportedly stemmed from Chakkrik’s suspicion that No had been communicating with his girlfriend.

 

After being detained by the police for a drug test, which returned positive, Chakkrik was escorted back to the station for further questioning. As he was being led from the police van to the holding cell, Chakkrik encountered Levi, a reporter from Amarin Channel, who had interviewed him the previous day.

 

During the previous interview, Chakkrik showed irritation but refrained from any physical confrontation. However, yesterday, his actions escalated when he grabbed Levi’s arm, pulled him closer, and headbutted him, causing a significant commotion among the news team. Levi, left shocked, was immediately taken to safety by the police.

 

Following the incident, 25 year old Nakharin Khotsri, another reporter from Amarin TV, filed a formal complaint against Chakkrik at Chaiyapruek Police Station.

 

Nakharin recounted that he was at the station to cover the case’s developments when Chakkrik, while being escorted back to the cell, violently headbutted him in the mouth, causing a split lip.

 

Nakharin had been attempting to question Chakkrik about the drug test results when the attack occurred.

 

Nakharin expressed his disbelief over the incident.

 

 

“I was here to follow up on the case and, while trying to ask about the drug findings, he just pulled me in and headbutted me. It was shocking.”

 

His complaint accuses Chakkrik of assault, citing the suspect’s apparent displeasure over questions asked the previous day.

 

During the prior encounter, Nakharin had asked Chakkrik if he was worried about his mother, to which he responded with visible annoyance.

 

“Worry about yourself first.”

 

He was then whisked away by police.

 

This exchange is believed to have contributed to Chakkrik’s aggressive behaviour during yesterday’s incident. After the headbutt, Chakkrik reportedly smirked and made a cutting remark, further cementing his lack of remorse.

 

“You asked disrespectful questions.”

 

Preliminary investigations by Police Colonel Somchai Chukaew, head of Chaiyapruek Police Station, have been initiated. Officers are collecting evidence, including photographs of the scene, and have facilitated Nakharin’s medical examination at Pak Kret Hospital 2. This medical report will support the legal case against Chakkrik for assault.

 

The incident has drawn attention to Chakkrik’s history of violent behaviour. Previous reports indicate that he had severely beaten a site administrator, forcing him to drink scalding water, which resulted in multiple injuries.

 

Despite these allegations, Chakkrik has shown no remorse, refusing to apologise, and even taking measures to destroy evidence by dismantling CCTV systems and discarding firearms. His girlfriend, who also suffered injuries, claimed to have accidentally walked into a glass door.

 

Police efforts have ramped up, with recent operations leading to the seizure of firearms and ammunition from Chakkrik’s associates, reported KhaoSod.

What a little mommy´s boy plonker. But, good on him, now he can say goodbye to all his money, that will be confiscated and look forward to many years in jail.

Let’s hope they don’t let the brown envelopes get him out. He definitely deserves a trip to the Hilton and a good a$$ whipping.
