Four southerners get more than 66 years in prison for 2013 Bangkok bombing

BANGKOK: -- The Criminal Court Friday sentenced four southern men to 66 years and eight months in prison for their involvement in a May 26, 2013, bombing at the mouth of Bangkok's Soi Ramkhamhaeng 43/1.

However, each man will serve only 50 years, the maximum under Thai law.

They were also each ordered to pay a Bt90 fine.

The explosion in front of a salon caused seven injuries and damaged about 10 nearby shops.

The Corrections Department Friday brought Narathiwat native Idris Satapo and three Pattani men, Affahum Sa-ah, Kampee Lateh and Ilroheng Waemae, to hear the ruling.

The court found them guilty of attempted murder, causing an explosion to endanger others and their property, illegally having explosive devices in their possession, and carrying such devices to a public place without sound reasons.

...............They were also each ordered to pay a Bt90 fine.................

Says it all.

Wow, a hefty 90thb fine and 50 years in jail. Maybe they can pay the fine in daily installments of 0,00495 thb.

Will there still be iPhones when they get out?

And the Bt90 fine is for making up to the 3 guys who were having noodles for dinner?

Amazing Thailand still in the 1700 what the Fish going here any one some common senes here kill a cop and out on bail

What would be the penalty for refusing to pay this 90 THB fine? How absolutely stupid!!!

What would the admin and accounting fees to process this fine amount to?

Either reform this ridiculous system or just do away with the fines altogether!!!

90 baht bit harsh
