webfact Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 ERAWAN ATTACKBomb suspect set to lose passportTHE NATIONMove follows Wanna Suansan breaking promise to surrender to policeBANGKOK: -- POLICE have asked the Foreign Ministry to revoke the passport of a female suspect wanted in connection with the deadly bomb attack at the Erawan Shrine in August.Police spokesman General Prawut Thavornsiri said the whereabouts of Wanna Suansan was not known.Wanna had broken her promise |to surrender, Prawut said.An arrest warrant was issued for Wanna, a native of Phang Nga, as she had rented flat rooms in Bangkok's Min Buri district to bomb suspects. Explosives and bomb-making |materials were found in those flats.Her Turkish husband, Emrah Davuloglu, is also wanted under an arrest warrant.Wanna, believed to be in Turkey when the warrant was issued, denied any involvement in the blast and told the media in telephone interviews that she would surrender and come back to Thailand to fight for her innocence.Meanwhile, Chuchart Kanpai, the lawyer of alleged Erawan Shrine bomber Adem Karadag, remained adamant that his client was not the bomber and he did not believe Karadag had confessed as police claim.He will meet Karadag, whose nationality is still unclear, at a special prison today along with representatives of the Turkish embassy in Bangkok.Police led Karadag - now known as the yellow-shirt man - on a re-enactment of the crime on Saturday to try to substantiate his alleged confession."I am sure that Karadag is not thebomber as he has different body type from the yellow-shirt guy seen on the surveillance camera. The yellow-shirt guy is tall and has broad shoulders but my client has a smaller build," Chuchart said.He revealed that he tried to visit his client in prison several times but was denied, having been told Karadag was being treated for flu and high blood pressure.The lawyer admitted that he was worried Karadag would be tried in a military court as it would rule out an appeal option.A police investigator meanwhile revealed that one of the bomb suspects, Yongyut Pobkaew, had a record related to his alleged involvement in many bomb-related cases and had an arrest warrant issued against him for alleged explosives possession.Yongyut met Wanna many times at a house and had conversations with Mieraili Yusufu, a prime suspect in the case, on numerous occasions.Mieraili was arrested at the Thai-Cambodian border province of Sa Kaew on September 2.The shrine blast killed 20 |people and wounded more than 100.In a related development, Vice Admiral Krisda Charoenpanich, deputy judge advocate general, said a bomb-squad team found nothing suspicious about reports that a suspect-looking man with a backpack and wearing sunglasses entered the Bangkok Military Court compound on Friday. The man went onto the roof of the building and left.Krisda said the initial investigation revealed that the man may be a tourist or was looking for a toilet. It is common for people to enter the court's compound to use its toilets, he said.Meanwhile, police spokesman Prawut said the alleged blast |"mastermind", Abudustar Abdulrahman or Isan, was now in Turkey after fleeing Thailand one day before the blast.He said police were checking reports that he was on the move again, in a bid to locate Isan.In a related development, Lt-General Srivara Rangsibrah-|manankul, the metropolitan police commissioner, has issued an order to transfer three police colonels at Lumpini Police Station to inactive posts at police headquarters.The order cited that the transfers were needed to prevent damage to the authorities.But a source said it was because the officers had failed to spot the suspected yellow-shirt bomber in CCTV footage at Lumpini Park after the bomb went off.It was discovered recently that the suspect change into a grey shirt at a toilet at the park.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Bomb-suspect-set-to-lose-passport-30269674.html-- The Nation 2015-09-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another "Koh Tao" interrogation done without a lawyer present? Yes of course in military court, the RTP can't risk to lose any more face In The international community. That woman suspect, probably read about Koh Tao case and stayed out of Thailand for her own good. In other words, because of one's ethnic race, everyone is guilty IF the RTP and the influential army elite says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 reports that a suspect-looking man with a backpack and wearing sunglasses entered the Bangkok Military Court compound on Friday. The man went onto the roof of the building and left. Krisda said the initial investigation revealed that the man may be a tourist or was looking for a toilet. It is common for people to enter the court's compound to use its toilets, he said. ...it is also common for tourists to go to the roof of a building in order to commit suicide, he continued. In this case, however, no suicide was reported, apparently because the toilet facilities at the Military Court were of a high standard, he added.

razer Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Domestic arrest warrant or international arrest warrant? Interpol going to get involved or is this strictly a Thai issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneday Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This whole thing is a complete mess. Who can believe anything the police say and who knows what they did to the main suspect to get him to confess? Also, I don't blame that woman for not returning to Thailand. Even if she is innocent I'm sure the police would find some reason to throw her in jail...at least that's what I would think if it was me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand her completely. Not turning herself in does not mean in this case that she is guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not sure if she is guilty of more than renting rooms to the suspects but she needs to come in for questioning. Confiscating her passport is a reasonable step. At least it was done in a efficiently and quickly. Unlike Thaksin's passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) ^^^ Karadag thru his lawyer stated he was not in the county at the time of the bombing - He stated that he entered the country on the 21st (4 days after the blast) at the Thai/Lao border where he bribed immigration with 20K baht... It would seem the BIBs could easily confirm/disprove this by looking at the date stamp in his fake passport and tracking it back the border station where I assume there are some sort of security camera that recorded his entry... But I have seen no reporting of any BIBs confirming or disproving the above... this might jeopardize their 3 Million baht narrative... If I were Ms Suansan I would stay well away from the scapegoating that is going on... Edited September 28, 2015 by sfokevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 What's a special prison? A place where people get extra special treatment. Yes....that results in "high blood pressure" and "flu" " he tried to visit his client in prison several times but was denied, having been told Karadag was being treated for flu and high blood pressure."

Seastallion Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 So, she said she has no money to come back to Thailand and if the Police pay her fare, she'll come. They declined to pay her fare, now, based on suspicion only, they revoke her passport, effectively stranding her in Turkey where they will never question her. It's almost as if they don't want her here to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
