Premchai Karnasuta, a key figure embroiled in the controversial state audit office construction collapse case, has been hospitalised following respiratory complications and the exacerbation of longstanding ailments.

 

At 71, Premchai, alongside 14 other defendants, was remanded in custody at the Special Bangkok Prison after the Criminal Court denied their bail request.

 

Given his advanced age and complex health issues, prison authorities deemed it necessary to transfer him to the Correctional Hospital for immediate medical attention.

 

His hospitalisation underscores the challenges faced by older inmates with serious health concerns.

Playing his "I'm too sick to go to prison" card.

It worked for Thaksin, so why not!

Probably already there and having the neck brace fitted now, although it needed a dramatic modification to fit his not too slender neck.

555 can only hope it's fatal

I doubt he lives up to his name, which is almost the same as a book we all read when we were kids.

He has a good example...nobody will or can do something now.. Probably he will get high bloodpressure too

He's still healthier than that panther he killed.
