Former Nakhon Pathom sub-district chief Praween Chanklai, known as 'Kamnan Nok', was sentenced to life imprisonment today for his role in the murder of a highway police officer. The tragic event unfolded on September 6, 2023, at a dinner party at Praween’s home.

 

The Criminal Court found Praween guilty of approving his bodyguard, Thanachai Munmark, to fatally shoot Pol Maj Siwakorn Saibua, a highway police officer. The confrontation arose after Praween sought a favor from the officer—securing a transfer for his nephew to the highway police’s motorcycle patrol unit. Siwakorn declined, citing the need to wait for the annual transfer period in October.

 

 

A whisky-drinking challenge followed, ending in Praween's defeat. Tensions escalated, with Praween reportedly demanding a gun, insisting Siwakorn couldn’t leave. His bodyguard, Thanachai, then fatally shot the officer with a Glock handgun.

 

Thanachai fled the scene but was shot dead by police several days later. This high-profile case has drawn significant attention, highlighting the severe consequences of abusing power and influence.

Did they know who he is? 

Very surprising he was not able to bribe his way out of the jail sentence.
