Four teams to probe death
THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- POLICE have formed four teams to reinvestigate the death of a construction magnate after his family claimed his car crash was not accidental.

Chuwong Sae Tang, 50, a wealthy contractor, appeared to have been killed in a car accident on Chalerm Phrakiat Soi 48-50 in Prawet district on June 26 after playing golf at Lakewood Country Club on Bang Na-Trat Road.

Pol Lt-Colonel Banyin Tangpa-korn, a former Nakhon Sawan MP and deputy commerce minister, was driving him home when the car allegedly ran off the road into a tree.

Police concluded Chuwong's death was accidental but his family petitioned the National Police chief to reopen the case.

A first team will interview Chuwong's wife and driver today and a second team will question car experts. The third team will meet to study the case and a fourth will seek evidence at the golf course.

Police have checked security cameras from five different sites and found that Banyin left the golf club at about 9pm and did not stop the car anywhere. They will also ask the country club for the exact time Banyin left.

Four teams when one properly organised and supervised would do.

Four teams all reporting to their own individual team head who may or may not share all information with the other team or the overall boss of the investigation because four teams may be looking for the glory or anything else going.

Too many cooks etc unless of course this is the idea.

"A first team will interview Chuwong's wife and driver today and a second team will question car experts. The third team will meet to study the case and a fourth will seek evidence at the golf course."

Shouldn't they have done this already? Or did they not realise how wealthy the dead man was in the initial "investigation"?

Be nice to see them put the same effort into probing some of the daily foreigner "suicides" that happen here on a regular basis. I guess those don't pay so well tho.

Yeah, it seems like that in LOS. If you are someone and you drop a nut (don't even need to die), you'll enjoy the full might of Thailand's most brilliant investigators on your case. But if you're a nobody i.e. a 'foreigner', the guy who sticks a knife into you gets off because there isn't enough evidence - never mind that there were witnesses willing to testify, in addition to CCTV footage. Whatever you do, don't ever die, 'cause that will be ruled as suicide! Even if there is CCTV footage of a bunch of perps pumping hot lead into you. Really, the corrupt-to-the-core, save-face bits of this place is really beginning to stink quite a bit.

the car accidently ran off the road into a tree ?was the driver asleep ? this case is getting stranger and stranger every time I read about it .there is more to this driver than meets the eye .

The airbags never inflated. The passenger allegedly fatally injured. The driver escapes without a single injury, not a scratch.

Shortly before large amounts of shares worth very large amount of money transferred to two gold caddies / pretties, Allegedly with forged signatures.

Just a tad more than meets the eye.

But, without a powerful connected family to stir things up, what would the BiB have done? Probably f/all as the driver is an ex-cop, ex-MP and ex-government minister.

Probe into billionaire’s car crash death progressing

20-7-2558-11-49-13-wpcf_728x404.jpg

BANGKOK: -- Investigation into the death of the construction billionaire Chuwong Sae Tang is progressing with four investigation teams have been set up to look into the nature of his death, whether it was a car accident as earlier assumed by Udomsuk station police, or someone might stage the scene to make the death appear to be the car accident to cover up the murder.

A team of the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police will summon the billionaire’s wife and his chauffeur for questioning today while another team will go to the Lakewood Country Club golf course on Bang Na-Trat highway to look for video footages at the golf course to determine the exact time the Lexus van in which the former deputy commerce minister Pol Lt Col Boonyin Tangpakorn drove out before crashing on to a roadside tree.

The police have gained video footages of the van at four locations at different times but needed the exact time when the van left the golf course before the accident which Udomsuk police first responded to the accident assumed it was an accident.

But after wife and daughter of the billionaire complained the police of suspicious death as up to almost 10 million shares of a SET-listed energy firm worth almost 300 million baht were transferred to two women a few days before his death, CSD police intervened in to probe.

The two women were later found to be a caddy of the golf course, and a finance broker. Both women also worked part time as motor show pretties.

The policy are looking into the connection of the two pretties and the former politician although the former politician had earlier denied personal connection with the women.

Another team of police will also invite the finance firm of which the billionaire was said to transfer all the shares in his portfolio in the finance company for questioning. The police wanted to know who will be the beneficiary of the shares if they were sold.

Initial finding revealed that part of the shares had been transferred under the name of a broker’s mother.

Lawyer of a caddy will bring his client to see police thus week after failing to show to explain the reason why a large portion of the shares were transferred to her by the billionaire.

The billionaire’s wife has said she would like charge persons who received her husband shares, and the finance firm as the signature shown in the share transfer document did nor match the authentic signature of her husband.

She has submitted the documents with her husband’s signature to the CSD police to make comparative examination.

Meanwhile forensic police have examined the car crash scene yesterday after this was not properly carried out after it was first treated as a normal car accident by officers first responded to the scene.

They will look into the possibility that the crash could result in the death of the passenger seated on the left or not from, judging from the damages caused to the van from the impact which observers said was not much.

They also have invited experts from Toyota Motor for knowledge about the impact magnitude which could trigger the safety bag to function.

In this crash, the safety bag did not work, the police said.

Another team of police are also seeking background information from Nakhon Sawan police on the former politician.

But suspicion rises after relative received documents of share transfer from a finance company stating Mr Chuwong had transferred 9.5 million shares of a SET-listed green energy firm worth 228 million baht to two women four days before his death.

That's an accurate reporting.
Within 2 days, 72 million more.

Ok let's say the 300 million Baht race is opened for 4 teams.
Winner takes all, or is there a percentage per head bounty distribution?

Pretty sure the shares can't just be taken and signed to the cops because they cracked a case. i think now that the case has been shown to be unsolved after previously been ok'd as solved by the police brass means that the payday (if there was one) has been scuppered now that this story is in the media and is looking like a scandal. But again TIT, anything is possible here as we all know
