This is only the beginning as the people behind the curtain, the real wizards of the Thai Oz, begin to stretch their muscles unimpeded for the first time.  They do have courage, but they have no heart.

It's not clear how good the autopsy was. When Khunying Doctor Porntip says the family should employ a pathologist, there's clearly grounds for suspicion. Of course her relationship with the police department has been contentious since she came back from studying in the States and started demanding forensic examination of evidence, but she has widespread trust among Thai people. On the other hand, given normal decay processes it's very possible that it's no longer possible to determine the cause of the liver injury. Has the body been kept at low enough temperatures to inhibit decay?

If they want to put a stop to the stories, instead of just waiting until another bright shiny comes along to distract everybody, they really need to release photos of the cell and show how they think he hooked his socks to the hinge. Take a look at a door in your house. Which side are the hinges on? On the side that the door opens toward, right? Does it make sense to construct a jail cell (or detention room) so the door opens inward? Possibly allowing the prisoner to jam the door so guards can't get in? At least allowing the prisoner to try to hold the door so two or three guards have to push him/her back? Jails aren't constructed that way. Hotel rooms are, though. Maybe that's what they were thinking of when they concocted this yarn.

Maybe you should have another look at the picture.

The police should have given a physical demonstration on how the guy managed the impossible, to hook a sock to a shiny sloping hinge. 

 

Anyway, I believe a normal (basic instinct) reaction when one cannot breath is to claw at the item that is strangling you, even if you are semi-conscious, that's why people who get hanged have their hands tied behind their backs.

 

Considering how partial the police are to reenactments, it does seem fishy that—in this case—we have to make do with a crude artist's rendering.

 

Could it be that there was no way they could actually make the sock stick to the top of the hinge?

Too early to speculate that the poor man was beaten to death.

Too early then where did he get the internal injuries  from? falling on his ass. Come on all you Thai justice loving people stop all these croocked  ass wipes that are giving your society and your justice system a bad name, Name and SHAME of course now its the doctors fault

It's possible!

Can you see that whoever built the cells used the correct hinges that have sloped top and bottoms to prevent anything being hung off them.

I wonder what the explanation was for all the black marks?  Fingerprint dust maybe?

.....and they sure as shit have straw for brains!!!

I'm surprised he could find a pair of socks,the laws of nature demand that one of a pair always disappears in the washing machine.

Even if he had proof, saying so would expose him to a possible action for defamation. Organizations can bring such actions if those at the top believe someone is defaming their fiefdom. 

 

So the doctor is man enough to stick his neck out.

He will be told to 'put a sock in it'

Oh, thanks. I didn't even realize there was a picture. That's astonishing. Who on earth would design a place to hold prisoners with the door opening inward like that? Most Thais are smarter than that. I mean, designing a jail cell isn't brain surgery.

And thais dont wear socks.

 

Only in the same way that Thais don't wear trousers or shirts.
