Manhunt under way for more suspects in PDRC attacks

BANGKOK: -- Police have launched a manhunt for more suspects involved in the gun and bomb attacks against protesters of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee during the six-month protest in Bangkok which ended in mid-May.

Pol Gen Somyos Poompanmuang, the deputy national police chief, said Sunday that the hunt followed the recent arrest of Narongsak Plaisawang at Srithai Condo in Pracha-uthit 6, Thung Khru.

Also seized from the suspect’s room were two RPG launchers and three RPG rockets, one AK47 assault rifle with three magazines and ammunition, 13 RGD hand grenades and more ammunition of different calibers.

He named some of the suspects wanted by police as Chatchanr Boonpawan, Chaiwat Polpo, Jakrapob Penkair, Krisana Thapthai, Samran Chaichana and Samran Saichana.

Pol Gen Somyos said that so far police have arrested 15 suspects allegedly involved in terrorizing the PDRC protesters with gunshots and bombs. Nine are still on the run, he added.

Let's hope they get these scum! Those killed and injured by the cowardly attacks may finally see some justice done now that the Army is getting to police to get off their fat butts and actually do their jobs!

[Artisi]

Go Go Go - round up all this scum and charge them with murder or attempted murder as the case maybe and put them away for a very long time - maybe a bit of plea bargaining mightn't go astray for some names as to who arranged and backed them.

[EricBerg]

Why name wanted suspects? Sounds like warning them and their direct superiors in a possible chain of command. I suppose Thai intelligence-work is different.

[Basil B]

Hope they start grassing the money men and coordinators.

Lets hope they capture the fertilizer sniper who was identified as a PDRC guard. Doubt it

Did you mean the "popcorn" sniper? He was already arrested.

Personally I hope they catch all who committed crimes. But I'm not surprised given your posting history city, that you just want the "yellows" arrested.

I am very surprised a true Manchester City fan could ever feel that way...

Yes, really doubt they will capture the "fertilizer sniper"...

They couldn't care less about putting a stop to the violence in the Thai south. But a few political framings are fine for public relations. Where was the army all this time in finding weapons and suspects?

The right question is: "Where was the police all this time...".

Framings? Oh I see, these weapons were obviously planted!

[rubl]

Isn't "Jakrapob Penkair" the since 2009 fugitive of the new FT-HD ?

He is another suspect who likes to lead from the back line or in his case from abroad.

The red supporters are getting more desperate by the minute, their side being implicated in 90% of the violence including the slaughter of children. It must be hard supporting a side who was so wrong.

In a way its good the previous government was removed by force because its clear they were protecting the terrorists that killed at the PDCR attacks. That is state sanctioned terrorism, they only caught anti government before and now the true crimes come out.

This is fantastic to hear, but...

...what about the hunt for those PDRC guards that seriously injured innocent people at their illegal road blocks.

Where is the balance of equal enforcement?

I find it hard to believe that the army is indifferent to the violence in the south. The problem is that there is no easy solution (that I know of).

If you look back you will see that they have been arrested too.

Thing is 90% of the deaths including young children were caused by the reds, so they will be in the news a bit more its just numbers and the fact that only reds went so low as to attack kids and then later cheer about it on stage (I am happy there is video evidence about that else all the red cheerleaders here would deny it)

But yes they went after those PDRC guards who committed crimes too (and so they should)

In all fairness and in the interests of full transparency, when the red mob were cheering and celebrating the deaths in Trat, the news about dead kids had not come out yet, however cheering and celebrating the death of the other innocent people who had been murdered by the red supporters is almost as bad. Scum !

True.. but they were cheering about the deaths of anti government supporters. At that point they did not know yet that also children had been murdered by armed fractions on their side. But still cheering at an attack left people dead is almost as bad. I mean when you support attacks like that you take for granted the risk of children getting killed.

Mind you these people cheering where quite high up in the reds, not just the average footsoldiers, later even higher up realized the propaganda loss and told them to shut up.

Why did you not ask where the police were and what they were doing during that time.?

After all it was THEIR job to do it and they didn't.

Now the military are running things there are NO excuses for the police at all not to do their job.

Something they rarely did under previous governments.

[penwithcris]

All serious law breakers should be brought to book, but all the killings and injuries came about because of anti democratic street protests when the leaders of PDRC deliberately fomented violence in the community

Now the country is under military rule again. The ideal of a democratic Kingdom once again on the back burner

Is Thailand a better country now than before the protests and the 'coup'?

As someone who doesn't mind living under any system

as long as it generally affords security and a peaceful existence the current scenario is fine with me, but there will be many 'libertarians' who must find the current situation intolerable

Mostly foreigners post on this forum it seems.

How would you feel if, every time you returned your favoured political party into office, the opposition organised protest after protest until the government you elected were forced out of office? Angry? Complacent?

Judging by many of the comments I have read on here it wouldn't take long for the 'red mist' to descend

Some (deliberately?) serious misrepresentation there.

The protests started in November did not foment violence. The violence was against them, ignored by the police, apparently at CAPO's whim, and the police at the army's insistence are now doing their job in arresting the culprits.

Thailand is certainly a safer place (outside the deep south) since the army put a stop to the violence. I would feel angry if the party I supported put themselves above the law and did their best to support criminals and continually appoint the PM's family members to key positions - nepotism. I might not care, however, if I was paid to support them.

The 'red mist' that descended on the protestors has now been stopped. I suspect that if they try the same violent tactics again, the same referee will get out the red cards.

Was it not also reported that when the news about the kids did come out some of the reds where cheering and shouting it was good these kids would not now grow up to oppose them?

Let's have the full story in the interests of all fairness. And what did CAPO do about it - oh yes, claim it was self inflicted, very transparent.

The protests would have never happened if it wasn't for the amnesty bill prior to that happening there weren't hardly any protests just a few guy fawkes mask wearing incidents. And if it wasn't for that amnesty bill the democratically elected PTP would almost certainly still be in power, the farmers would still not have been paid. That amnesty bill was just way too much for decent honest ordinary Thais (even some reds) to take and they acted accordingly.
