rooster59 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hospital chief says suspect’s ‘murder’ aimed at tainting DSI’s reputation Piyanuch Thamnukasetchai Angsuma Sridokkham The Sunday Nation BANGKOK:-- Illegal land-deed registration suspect Tawatchai Anukul was likely murdered, the director of Mongkutwattana General Hospital director said yesterday. Speaking about the mysterious death of Tawatchai, hospital director Rienthong Nanna, said persons involved in the killing might have wanted to defame the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) in the eyes of the public and affect the credibility of the other important cases the agency was investigating. "This case has high potential to be a murder case and it's possible a lower-ranking DSI officer was involved in the death of Tawatchai while the senior DSI officers were in the dark," Rienthong said. "The murder of Tawatchai will sway public opinion against the DSI. I urge the public to carefully consider this case and not blame the DSI until everything becomes clear," he said. DSI director-general Pol Colonel Paisit Wongmuang declined to comment on Rienthong's remarks and only stated that the law will take its course if anyone was found involved in Tawatchai's death.

trogers Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 And we may be expecting some unusual accidental demise of some lower DSI official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I urge the public not to blame the DSI. Why not he was in their custody at the time. If they detain someone they have a duty of care for that person. Every DSI officer, whether senior or junior has a case to answer if they were involved in this.

Chookie Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 And the hospital director would know about this? How? Not enough directing work for him to do or did he just want some microphone time? Chook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark131v Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The absolute <deleted> that these people come out with is absolutely mindblowing.... "This case has high potential to be a murder case and it's possible a lower-ranking DSI officer was involved in the death of Tawatchai while the senior DSI officers were in the dark," Rienthong said. And this from a member of society that in most parts of the world it would be safe to assume has an iq higher than double digits....scary...

worgeordie Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If you are trying to cover up a murder in custody, you dont say the suspect hanged himself with a pair of socks,you will only be laughed at in disbelief. I think the need to set up an impartial Internal Affairs, department,with honest ,(yes I know that will be the difficult part) investigators. Its not as though this is the first incident of this kind, you get put in a cell,knowing things about influential persons, that you might divulge , you are not going to last long. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonjelly Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If it was a mission to silence him, an assassin would have been used rather than having the whole mess in the DSI building. I'm wondering if it was clumsy interrogation that led to Anakul's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brer Fox Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 A long stretch of the bow to try to find a fairy tale motive for the killing to try to deflect attention away from DSI. This nonsense opinion in itself draws more attention back to the DSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadGeordie Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Rienthong Nanna Mongkutwattana General Hospital Director, can I ask you all to make a note of this chaps name. For I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of it as he rises through the ranks of the junta hierarchy. He surely is "a party man" and will get his rewards. I can only hope that one day when the junta is gone he will get his "just rewards". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prbkk Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Members will recall the good doctor from his previous ( probably ongoing) role as self-proclaimed protector of the monarchy ( and his mission to seek and destroy those HE DEEMS to be troublesome). His involvement and the use of his hospital for such matters is troubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His involvement and the use of his hospital for such matters is troubling. I'm interested in hearing from the hospital director on the findings of the autopsy, discussion of whether resuscitation can or cannot cause internal injuries, and other medical matters in this case. However, somehow, it seems not quite the doctor's business, or purview, to be speculating about political motivations, possible suspects, etc etc. It's bad enough when supposedly professional people don't even act professionally in their own profession. It's worse when they try to do so outside their supposed profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 A more plausible explanation is that he was silenced to stop him blowing the whistle on sharks nearer the top of the food chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 ... it's possible a lower-ranking DSI officer was involved in the death of Tawatchai At least someone showed the decency and wisdom not to blame it on the gardener.

nausea Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Nah, this ain't no assassination. The Director's coded explanation is probably right. Some inept lower level guy went OTT in the interrogation, followed by an inept cover-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 So, now the Hospital Director is privy to the case- one wonders how high up strings are being pulled. I can't believe they expect people to buy into this complete BS- its so amateurish it beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it was clumsy interrogation that led to Anakul's death. Seems likely. People watch movies like "Die Hard" or "Dirty Harry" and don't think about how easy it is to kill. Or how hard, sometimes, there are astonishing cases of people surviving horrific injuries. Anyway, you see those cops' kids attacking the disabled guy with sword and you have to think they've lost track of reality. Even watching the security camera footage of a couple three guys attacking someone with what looked like baseball bats. Of course the guy died. Lots of American prisoners died at Bagram because the "interrogators" didn't realize how fragile life is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe they expect people to buy into this complete BS- its so amateurish it beggars belief. Since when does a hospital administrator get to discuss his theories on who killed someone? What other cases will he be personally solving. I think we have a television show idea here, CSI Thailand. Except every episode ends with nobody being caught and someone getting a bribe. That said, it is far more likely that someone he was going to rat on paid off a low level DSI guy to silence him than someone high up in the DSI thinking, "Nobody will ever suspect us."
