PHUKET: -- Phuket’s top cop took the reigns in a Valentine’s Day violence case after an allegedly attacked teen couple expressed their concern that the perpetrators would be protected from the law by their father, a Thalang police officer.

Police Commander Choti Chavalviwat summoned Thalang Police Acting Superintendent Sirisak Wasairi to report to him immediately about the case, which revolves around the allegations by a 17-year-old teenager, given the pseudonym “Koy” because of her age, that she and her boyfriend had been attacked by two teenage boys and their father, Sen Sgt Maj Wichit Dada of the Thalang Police (story here).

Ms Koy told members of the Phuket Press Club that on the evening of February 14 the teenagers attacked her and her boyfriend with a metal rod and knife, then threatened her boyfriend, Benz Densiri, with a gun while their father restrained him.

The case investigator, Thalang police officer Niphon Temsang, has since been dispatched to Ms Koy and Mr Benz’s houses to confirm an appointment to discuss the case at Thalang police headquarters at 8:30am yesterday morning.

By 8:45am on Sunday, both sides had gathered at the police station, along with Thepkrasattri Mayor Piyawat Jirajamorn and about 20 of Ms Koy’s relatives.

Despite three hours of talks, they were unable to reach a solution.

“The injured persons filed one more complaint with the police – this one was for attempted murder,” said Lt Niphon said. “They told us that they felt unsafe because groups of teenagers have been riding motorbikes in front of their houses since the fight, so they want the complaint to be on the official police record.”

“The case will be sent to the Juvenile prosecutor because both the suspects are minors,” he added.

Ms Koy told members of the Phuket Press Club that on the evening of February 14 the teenagers attacked her and her boyfriend with a metal rod and knife, then threatened her boyfriend, Benz Densiri, with a gun while their father restrained him.

“The case will be sent to the Juvenile prosecutor because both the suspects are minors,” he added.

So the police officer at the scene was a minor?

There is a large (and growing) proportion of Thai society that is above the law.

Thailand was sort of fun when I moved here in my late 20's, now at 42 with 2 kids here, I grow increasingly nervous at the thought of them going through their mid-late teens here. All it takes is one coked up Ferrari driver, gun wielding movie star or drunk cop/cops son and you lose someone near and dear.

"...took the reigns..."? Oh dear....was it reining?

Sickening. Thai society at its worst.

What a wonderful role model this cop is for his son.

The Phuket police are known far and wide for their utter corruption. They are a vile and evil force.

They are truly worse than the criminals they claim to chase.

This will all be paid off and the life of bribes and pay offs will go on as usual for this thug cop.

Another cops son being protected. These ,,,, need to be made an example of, especially as the siblings of a cop or perhaps he has taught them what he does so they are being led by example.

What if the cops son had raped a drunk Farang woman?that would have been alright because she asked for it right?Hypocrite.

Scum is the only word to describe these mistakes of humanity. I also note that they as less lucid with the photo's when it comes to one of their own.

Phuket's Top Cop , what an accolade for the leader of the gang.

Surely in an incident such as this carrying serious allegations Phuket's Top Cop should have descended on the abode of the alleged perpetrators immediately rather than sending an invitation to attend a meeting three days after the event.

Plenty of time to shuffle stories.

with a father as a role model like that, i guess he will step into daddies shoes and continue the business euh traditions of this sad country
