BANGKOK — Police have arrested another member of the underground Redshirt group allegedly responsible for launching grenades at anti-government protesters earlier this year.
 
Yongyuth Boondee, a native of Roi Et province, was arrested by military officers in Chiang Mai province last night, said Deputy Chief of the Royal Thai Police Somyot Phumpanmuang.

Mr. Yongyuth is accused of launching several M79 grenade attacks around Bangkok during the six month protest anti-government protest campaign by led by the People's Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD).

According to Pol.Gen. Somyot, Mr. Yongyuth targeted a PCAD protest site in northern Bangkok and another PCAD rally in Rayong province. Mr. Yongyuth also allegedly launched attacks on banks, supermarkets, and government buildings to create an atmosphere of terror in Bangkok.

At the police press conference this morning, Mr. Yongyuth confessed to committing the attacks. The suspect said he supported the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), the Redshirts’ umbrella organization, and was later invited to joined the groups's underground militant wing by one of its members, Chatchawan Prapbumrung.

Mr. Chatchawan was arrested in July and accused of launching similar grenade attacks on PCAD protest sites.

However, Mr. Yongyuth denied the allegation that the militant group was personally commanded by "hardcore" Redshirt activist Wutthipong Kochthammakul, aka "Ko Tee," who went into hiding after he was charged with lese majeste (insult of monarchy) several months ago.

"I have attended UDD rallies that were organised by Ko Tee, but I don't personally know him," Mr. Yongyuth said.

According to Mr. Yongyuth, he and other members of the militant group trained themselves to use M79 grenade launchers and did not recieve any help from high-ranking UDD activists. He said they often consumed alcohol to boost their morale before launching the attacks.

Mr. Yongyuth told police he went into hiding in Buriram and Chiang Mai after the military staged a coup against the Redshirt-allied government on 22 May. He has been charged with premeditated murder, causing explosions with intention to harm other people, carrying and using explosive devices without a permit, and possessing firearms and ammunition without a permit.

Almost 30 people were killed in shootouts and grenade attacks on PCAD protest sites during the group’s six-month campaign against the former government, which ended in the 22 May military coup.

The coupmakers, led by army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, insist that the military intervention was necessary to prevent further bloodshed between the PCAD and the rival pro-government Redshirt groups that were also staging rallies in Bangkok at the time.

Got annihilated to boost his morale before firing grenades? Total trash.

Steady as she goes. The footsoldiers are singing. Then the first commanding officers will be revealed in due time. Let's see where it ends and what will be done with those responsible for the murders.

The plods are finally being forced to do their jobs. 

 

Good job, general!!

You want to fire grenades. Well now let's see how you survive a few years at the Hilton, tough guy!

The guy looks like his IQ is slightly less than his shoe size. Surprised he didn't off himself while fiddling with those grenades, in a drunken stupor.

There is absolutely no way that the UDD was unaware of who this people were and what they were doing, none; if they didn't "know" is because they didn't want to know, which means they knew they were their own people.

By extension the PTP was also complicit in this attacks, if they wanted them to stop all they had to do was make a few phone calls; not only they didn't stop them, they allowed the attacks to continue with impunity.

These arrests simply must stop, they are making Tarit and the DSI look bad.

The Thai military dictatorship is photo opping yet another political dissenter and opposition member. They are continuing to "purge" the country of political dissent. Thailand is working toward pure and happy.

Nice looking chap what.  If he had connections he would be a regular soap star !

"According to Mr. Yongyuth, he and other members of the militant group trained themselves to use M79 grenade launchers and did not recieve any help from high-ranking UDD activists. He said they often consumed alcohol to boost their morale before launching the attacks."

 

Consume alcohol to boost morale? He means he's a complete wimp when sober, and would not act in such a way unless pissed?

 

Thais are slowly becoming farang!

Change the word 'attacks' to rice scam, and we're getting somewhere on 2 levels. ;)

Just how effed up do you have to be to say something like that?

 

It would indeed be fantastic if they purge the country of any and all murderous bastards that think it's OK to kill people to express their "political dissent", extra points for purging the scum that support them.

 

Do humanity a favour, crawl back under the rock and stay there.

That would explain why so few of their attacks hit the intended target.

 

The UDD, PTP and Thaksin have a LOT to answer for.  Many of them should be up on charges of treason, especially Thaksin.

Another political dissenter with a bellyful of rotgut and an M79 grenade launcher in his hands. Yee ha!!!

 

Political dissent is OK

Terrorism is not and this is what this guy is.......a terrorist.. He's going where the sun don't shine.

Nice comments noitom, really to the point.

Sorry, but are you stupid or evil, or both? These terrorists you upgrade to political dissidents (that while their UDD organisation and PTP political party were in power at that time...), should have been arrested way long before the 22nd of May, and now it is being made clear and obvious why they weren't! And you dare to serve us a babble attempting to make this terrorist look like a victim of 'The Thai military dictatorship'? Shame on you! Crawl back into your hole, and stay there! Or better, apply for a job to brush the sand in front of your master, dictator-in spe's, house in Dubai, far away from here...

Who and where did he get the rockets from? I don't want to see just him in chains, I want to see the name of the twat that hired him!

 

I'm sick of the press here. Perhaps I should start my own newspaper.

Quite and fully agree with you.

Will you include the government and military of 2010 in that assessment ??

You lack of undertanding between people that commit acts of terrorism and those that try to stop them stems from your lack of intellectual honesty or are you really that dense?

      “The Thai military dictatorship is photo opping yet another political dissenter and opposition member” who is “allegedly responsible for launching grenades at anti-government protesters             earlier this year”. He has also “confessed to committing the attacks”                             Yes, another one bites the dust.   

Steady as she goes. The footsoldiers are singing. Then the first commanding officers will be revealed in due time. Let's see where it ends and what will be done with those responsible for the murders.

 

They'll sing to avoid the death penalty which is a pretty good incentive. Someone 'sang' when they named this POS as a murderer.

Troll talk. And if you are not a troll, you are a very mentally disturbed individual. Nothing 'political' about murdering the opposition. It is 'terrorism', though.

 

Internet Trolls Really Are Horrible People

Your recourse to insults merely displays your weakness.

 

Suggest you make an effort to understand the principles of " Rule of Law".

 

Here are a couple of links to help you.

Note article 1.

"The government and its officials and agents as well as individuals and private entities are accountable under the law."

I simply do not understand the mentality of the accused.

 

Didn't get paid to do it.

Must have known he would kill or injure ordinary people.

Has to get drunk to do it.

 

Just a sad a $ $ h 0 1 e really.........

 It is still in the very early stages of his interrogation. I'd say it's pretty obvious that he was 1)paid to do it, 2) given the hardware to do it, and 3) will shortly be revealing exactly who paid him or has already.

It does explain their abysmal accuracy. Shooting grenades while drunk.

Indeed they are and should all be accountable.

 

So you'll be supporting a thorough investigation into extra judicial murders in the "war on drugs" and the murders of those massacred down South?

 

We don't want any double standards now do we? And the numbers involved here are much much greater than 2010.

I never condone violence but in your case I would like to meet you and people of your ilk in a dark ally.  Are you a real person or troll?  I cannot understand how another human being can condone acts of terrorism against innocent civilians regardless of their political persuasion.

 

Here you are claiming this person is a Political dissenter, good grief, do you know the difference between that interpretation and that of outright terrorist.  I don't think so, as it appears you're just as brain dead as him, or maybe, like him you need some rocket fuel to boost your morale before you post..

 

Look at him, and let it sink in what he has admitted to.  Given what he has had to say it would appear that he is another low IQ, uneducated moron who should have to pay for the oxygen he breathes, which should be the same in your case.  He wasn't trained, BS, a person of his intellect  would not have the capabilities of understanding the workings of the weapons provided, let alone operating them whilst under the influence.  It is a shame that he did not make a mistake when loading the unit.  These type of people are followers, not leaders and get the orders from higher up the ladder, just wait and see where this leads in the months ahead.

 

So here we are,the military who has done more for this country in the past couple of months, according to you, is a dictatorship?  Look up that meaning also.  Sure they may have introduced some things that not everyone is happy with but I can tell you that where I reside in the north east people are so thankful  of what they have achieved in such a short time, and this is supposed to be the red heart of Thailand.

 

I am not Thai but I have chosen to reside in what I consider a beautiful country that was unfortunately being taken down the path of no return by people who had no thoughts for the it or its people, only for the power and their own personal gain.  I say, well done General, a man who is putting his country and its people way above everything else.  His rooting out of corruption and doing what the BIB should have been doing months earlier is a credit to him and his men.

 

I would suggest that if you want to make inflammatory statements then be prepared for the backlash.  Just go outside and get back under that rock from which you crawled.  Once there let me know so I can stomp on it and rid this forum of another condoner of the murder of men, women and children.  To me you, with your thoughts, are the lowest of low life that I have seen post on this forum.

And have they arrested the 5 pdrc members who beat and abused that dear man over 5days ,then put a bag over his head and threw him in the klong. And the unknown guy found in the klong next to pdrc site with strikingly similar injuries and cause of death. And that is not to mention the poor guys that are still weighed down at the klong. the purge is turning out to achieve all that was wished for. But nobody will know if all these deaths were worth it for many years to come. At.that time the results of these dark months will be fully known to all. Really no one can assess the good or bad of any of this until all cards are on the table.

He should have joined the Monk Hood like some did....would have got off scott-free then.
