Two Prison Escapees caught by Pattaya Police

PATTAYA:--Two prisoners who escaped from Police Custody by picking the locks of their handcuffs and cutting through the roof of a Police Van have now been re-captured in the South of Thailand.

In the early hours of Sunday, the two escapees, Khun Daimarat aged 32 and Khun Akapan aged 34, the son of a Highway Police Officer, arrived at Pattaya Police Station where they will be kept until their next appearance in Court. On Saturday they had been located and arrested at the Bangpu Resort in Nakhon Si Tamarat in the South of Thailand.

The pair had planned their escape from custody with the help of family and friends who were able to smuggle a pair of scissors and paper clips into the cells at Nongprue Police Station, where they were initially held last Wednesday. As they were being transported to the Pattaya Provincial Court, the pair were able to escape from their handcuffs and cut through the roof of the Police transporter. They made good their escape close to the train track in Soi Kao Ta Lo in East Pattaya.

Daimarat and Akapan McGyver haven't been at large for long. Police should take better custody of them this time!

Poor guys, I think they are in for a beating for making the police look like the incompetent fools that they are.

Isn't it remarkable that a motorcyclist or motorist following the vehicle didn't see what was going on and alert the driver?

And if there wasn't a guard sitting with the prisoners in the compartment surely the driver of the police van would have the means to look to the rear occasionally and monitor the behaviour of the prisoners?

It all seems too extraordinary for words, and I wonder if someone was paid off not to notice what was going on in the back?

Khun Akapan aged 34, the son of a Highway Police Officer,

I think this explains the advanced use of paper clips.

I am going to put the odds of a idiot son of a policeman picking

handcuffs with a paperclip at......zero. Looks like an inside escape

job to me.
