The Bangkok South Criminal Court released a Thai sedan driver on bail set at 600,000 baht this afternoon after he intentionally hit and killed a motorcyclist on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok.

 

The 30 year old suspect, Seree Srettheenamwong, was captured on a security camera deliberately crashing his white Toyota Altis sedan into a black electric motorcycle ridden by 49 year old Rittisak Prakuptanon on Sukhumvit Road yesterday.

 

The collision caused Rittisak’s body to hit a security camera pole on the footpath with significant force, resulting in his death at the scene. Seree fled the scene but was later apprehended in Soi Sukhumvit 4.

 

The fatal incident reportedly stemmed from a conflict earlier near the Asoke Intersection, where Seree’s car collided with Rittisak’s motorcycle. Seree allegedly refused to compensate Rittisak, leading to a high-speed chase and a heated argument, which culminated in the deliberate collision.

 

Seree was charged with intentional murder and reckless driving causing death. The charges carry a potential maximum penalty of death. He was transferred from Lumpini Police Station to Bangkok South Criminal Court for temporary detention.

According to police reports, Seree refused to provide further details about the incident and requested to address the matter in court. He also declined to speak to the media. Reports indicate that Seree was visibly emotional, crying while seated in the police car.

 

Initially, police insisted that bail would not be granted due to the severity of the case. However, this afternoon the court approved Seree’s temporary release on 600,000 baht bail. He is required to wear an electronic monitoring (EM) bracelet and is prohibited from leaving the country.

There is no confirmation as to whether Seree will attend Rittisak’s funeral. Rittisak’s wife has told the media that Seree has refused to contact her or discuss compensation for her family.

 

Seree is reported to be the son of Komsan Srettheenamwong, the owner of a fabric store in the Sukhumvit area. His father has also declined to speak to the media.

Yeah Ive read the story.......cue victim blaming, yawn

 

I've been driving a car in Bangkok almost everyday for 20 yrs., and have never been hit by a motorbike. I also ride a motorbike and yeah, I've nicked a few mirrors, but never broke or damaged one. Btw, love your profile pic.

In this instance the court was totally wrong IMHO

Fine him of everything he owns, if he has nothing order the sale of the family assets and give it to the widow.

They deserve nothing, she deserves everything.

Losing face in public to a Thai is very embarrassing and losing all reasoning. 

 

They also need to grow up and start acting civilised.

Absolutely wrong to give bail.

 

It's got evidence that it was intentional.

 

Bail is for when there is doubt to guilt.

[Scouse123]

No need for bail.

 

Get the bastard in court and convict him.

 

The evidence is there.

In Fact, nearly 100% of the property in that area of Sukhumvit, from Phrom Phung to Ploen Chit is owned by long term resident Indian families.  Almost 200 years ago, one of the Thai Kings invited Indians and Persians to set up commerce in then Siam and granted them a huge track of land which is now Sukhumvit.  They can not sell it, they can only lease it.  Indian families dominate the Bangkok hotel and textile industry and control many of the larger Sukhumvit area hotels.  There is some resentment between these Indian families and Thais as they remain aloof from Thai society and rarely intermarry. 

I know an Indian business man in Pattaya whose ancestors were brought over to Malaya ( Malaysia) from India , to work as coolies and plantations workers . In the 1920’s they came to Thailand, and worked their way up in life. They are a  wealthy family, extremely kind and good people all round. 
These reports are nothing to do with the ethnicity of the people. There is good and bad in all. I personally hope the family of this man will help the widow and her children. Many people , including Thais are authors of horrific accidents towards other Thais and foreigners.
