BANGKOK: -- Today, Deputy Metropolitan Police Anuchai Lekbamrung stated that Thonglor investigators handed over the murder case against Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya to the prosecutors at the South Bangkok Criminal Court this Monday.

Vorayuth, the 27-year-old grandson of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhya, was charged with causing the death of a police officer by reckless and drunk driving. He was subsequently released on THB500,000 bail.

During the drunk driving incident, Vorayuth allegedly banged his black Ferrari into the rear of Pol Snr Sgt Maj Wichian Klanprasert’s motorcycle at 5:30am on Sep. 3, 2012.

Wichian was on duty on Soi Sukhumvit 49 in the Wattana District. Vorayuth dragged the policeman’s body along 200 meters of outbound Sukhumvit road before speeding away to his father’s house on Soi Sukhumvit 53.

And now what?

The timeline for this type of thing is how long?

[Zolt]

And one lucky prosecutor has now found his chance to retire in luxury.

[David48]

The whole of Thailand is watching ...

For once can the justice overcome fame and wealth?

Failure, in this case, is not an option.

.

[Thai at Heart]

Judging by the Thai reaction to the idiotic judgment yesterday, i would consider he has been a little unlucky.

Hopefully, he doesn't get away with a slap on the wrist.

[GentlemanJim]

Well, by all accounts from the other thread with a similar storyline, this guy will get 15-20 years for sure, down graded on subsequent appeals over the next 4 years to an 18 month suspended sentence. I will care to wager anybody, +/- 6 mths on the final sentence. Thailand, Hub of Injustice.

[Robby nz]

Considering the other rich kid murder topic posted today he has nothing to worry about.

will live very comfortable lives?

It is almost a given that this (alleged) cop murdering punk's life is not going to change one bit. Wealth brings these benefits. IMO anyway.

Dont forget " give them a line about not being able to maintain control when stressed, pay some one in a white coat to sign off on it, and you are home and hosed" works for me.

Probe into Red Bull heir's crash completed
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Metropolitan Police Area 5 investigators submitted their final report on the hit-and-run case against Vorayuth Yoovidhya, grandson of the Red Bull energy drink founder, to the Southern Bangkok Court's public prosecutor on Monday.

The 27-year-old Vorayuth crashed his Ferrari into on-duty Pol Senior Sgt-Major Wichien Klanprasert and then fled the scene on September 3, 2012.

City police deputy chief Anuchai Lekbumrung insisted that the police had not dragged their feet but were carefully investigating the case within its time frame of six months. He said police did not fear criticism if the end result turns out like that of Kanpitak "Moo Ham" Patchimsawat, who got given a two-year suspended jail term Tuesday for crashing into a group of people waiting at a bus stop and killing one of them.

In other words that will be the outcome.

WOW! BIB, the finest in the world. They will let their own brothers be murdered without justice, no problem.

Wouldn't argue against that.

Nor, I imagine, will the judge.

My guess is that they are dragging large bags of money to the bank.

[TomTao]

Lets hope this case is tried on the evidence and not on the size of the check book, justice is often depicted by a statue holding a set of scales in one hand, a sword in the other with a blindfold covering the eyes, not a bankbook in one hand, a wad of cash in the other and a pair of designer sunnies covering the eyes.

[DLock]

What's the bet he is found to have some sort of mental or developmental condition as well....

...such as Bi Polar, OCD, ADD, Aspergers, Autistic, Manic Depressive, Epileptic, Schizophrenic, Tourette's or is mildly retarded.

This kid will walk. He has paid of everyone that needs to be paid of. Just a formality now.

There may be a few fall into that category, but I don't believe the family, who were paid 800K baht by the son of the models family will be able to sit back and put their feet up will they, nor will the family of the policeman in this case, who are rumoured to have been paid 3 Mill baht...about 2 years salary for a policeman with his untaxable 'extra's', and only 10% of the value of the car that mowed down their breadwinner, Son,husband and father.

[chainarong]

It is sad really ,the reflection that Thailand portrays it's self to the world in general, I'm expecting a weird verdict or ruling

[DocN]

....yeah....right....

Sorry, but...we all saw what happened to at least 2 other cases of rich, connected, unfit-to-live, car- killers...

Testarossa with BULL BARS!!

[transam]

Are they sure he is 27 and not 17. I know photos lie but.

[Fortunate1]

Don't let your expectations get too high. I reckon he will walk.

After all, when dealing with the rich and powerful, the Thai justice system has a proud tradition to maintain - a tradition of failing to ensure that justice is done.

[Pib]

And one lucky prosecutor has now found his chance to retire in luxury.

And a lifetime supply of Red Bull.

[Rancid]

These sort of articles really are a waste of time. It's like discussing the outcome of Manchecter U playing the local primary school team, we all know what the outcome will be, what is there to discuss?

[GentlemanJim]

Red Bull heir's hit-and-run case reaches prosecutors' hands

Predicting ahead to the future outcome of this case, shouldn't the news headline more appropriately read

Red Bull heir's hit-and-run case reaches prosecutors' bank account

[nevets]

No pompem he will get away with Murder , he is Hi-So and above the Law.

[Bluespunk]

would that be a case full of crisp 1000s?
