The Nation



BANGKOK: -- The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the 41-year jail term and Bt3-million fine imposed on a former military undercover anti-narcotics agent for trafficking a large quantity of "ice" and ecstasy tablets.

The court also upheld the sentences imposed on Major Chanon Chinnawong's two accomplices.

Accomplice Withoon Niyakij, 50, was also given a 41-year jail term and a Bt3 million fine, while Sukhum Juajaemjan, 37, got 14 years and eight months imprisonment and a fine of Bt800,000.

Chanon, 49, was also sentenced to death in 2013 for killing two policemen - Snr Sgt-Major Manoch Srilakhon and Lance Corporal Sawai Artnongwa - in a shootout on April 12, 2007 at a flat in Bangkok's Din Daeng area.

As an undercover anti-narcotics agent, he had operated in Yala for years before turning to drug dealing.

Assuming this is a positive remark supporting the court's decision, then....me too!

He must have to sleep with one eye open. I imagine he shares jail space with a few he helped put there who do not believe in "Mai pen rai".

Gamekeeper turned Poacher

This is a typical case when we will never get the full story and truth ...
