webfact Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Blinded bomber gets 35 years Kesinee Tangkhieo The Nation BANGKOK: - A man blinded in his attempt to bomb the headquarters of the Bhumjaithai Party in 2010 was yesterday sentenced to 35 years in jail. Anek Singkunthot was also ordered to pay a fine of Bt50. The Criminal Court yesterday found Anek guilty of possessing bombs without permit, collaborating with five other accomplices in causing an explosion, and carrying weapons in a public place. The explosion erupted in June 2010, damaging a part of the Bhumjaithai Party's headquarters in Bangkok's Chatuchak district, a nearby food stall, and a car parked in the area. The bomb went off prematurely and Anek was also injured in the blast and blinded in both eyes. He was arrested on the spot. Anek later confessed he was hired to bring a cart containing the bomb to the Bhumjaithai Party's headquarters. He and his accomplices filled the cart with fruit to avoid arousing any suspicion. Because of Anek's confession, the court yesterday found grounds for leniency. Without the confession, Anek would have been sentenced to life imprisonment. Other suspects pleaded not guilty on the same charges as Anek. The court will rule separately on these cases. -- The Nation 2012-04-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchholz Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The Criminal Court yesterday found Anek guilty of possessing bombs without permit, collaborating with five other accomplices in causing an explosion, and carrying weapons in a public place. But who actually ordered it and what is his punishment? As was the case with many of the separate bombings then, many more details of Anek and his Red Shirt accomplices (as mentioned in the OP), and who are still facing charges of their own, are available in the thread: Thailand's Fragile Peace Threatened http://www.thaivisa....ace-threatened/ .

Bagwan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The court were lenient? And the difference between life and 35 years is how much? Being released after 35 years, nobody will remember him, or want to, and how will he survive without sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Well looking on the bright side at least he won't be able to see what a s**t hole the jail is, and he has 35 years to learn karaoke and rattle a tin cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be out in a few years for good behavior, and then make over 100k baht per month on the streets:From Thai Couple Poses As Blind Beggars, Earn Over Bt100,000 A Month LAEM CHABANG: -- Begging proves to be a lucrative occupation.
