Lite Beer Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Escapee will be arrested soon: police The Nation BANGKOK: -- A criminal who escaped on Thursday from medical custody at Police General Hospital should be recaptured soon, a senior police officer said yesterday. Police have made good progress in tracking down Buntham Thabthimnark, 25, through a joint investigation by three Bangkok-based police units and expect to recapture him by next week, said Pol Colonel Ruechakorn Jorrajewut, a deputy commander of Metropolitan Police Division 6. Buntham was able to slip out of a shackle fastened to his bed because he had become much thinner during his hospital stay, said Pol Lt-Colonel Phanom Chuethong, a senior officer at Pathum Wan station. Buntham was admitted to the hospital on July 25 with gunshot wounds to the right arm after engaging in a gunfight with police from two stations as they attempted to arrest him. The escape has attracted much interest on social media as Buntham, a repeat narcotics and firearms offender, was seen walking from his bed and later swapping his hospital clothes for another outfit before leaving the hospital compound. Phanom said Buntham was assisted by people who brought the new clothes. The incident has prompted an internal investigation involving the Pathum Wan policemen on duty at the hospital at the time of the escape and other criminals in medical custody at the facility, which is located in the jurisdiction of Pathum Wan police and Division 6 police. Preng police in Samut Prakan and Jorrakey Noi police in Bangkok engaged in the gunfight with Buntham, who was treated at the hospital based on standard procedures. The charges against him include the attempted murder of policemen on duty.

tominbkk Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 He looks more like 45 than 25! I agree, there is no way he is 25. Then again, 10 years of crank ages a person pretty quickly! He also looks to have about as many brain cells as a potato. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doremifasol Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 "He was seen walking from his bed and later swapping his hospital clothes for another outfit before leaving the hospital compound". And yet, no one alerted security on time to get him under custody. The way I see it, he had more than a couple of accomplices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboyz1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I doubt this guy will be going back to jail. I suspect the cops will shoot him dead when they find him for making them look like fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My very first impression was he was older than 25. Maybe Thai men age faster ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLock Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 ..."expect to capture him by next week...". So, the inquiries aren't going well then? You couldn't shoot him, cuff him, secure him or keep him in a hospital...good chance he's in Cambodia already. But let's see how next week goes. Amateurs....let the Army handle the stuff you can't.

Lupatria Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 "He was seen walking from his bed and later swapping his hospital clothes for another outfit before leaving the hospital compound" While the hospital staff and the guard shouted: "Dead man walking." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 At the ripe old age of 25 he looks like he's 45...and has a shit-eating grin of, "I don't care about anything other than myself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 He looks more like 45 than 25! Seems to be a typo where the two numbers have become transposed in the English version of the story. The Thai press are reporting his age as 52. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
