A former army officer sentenced to life for employing a gunman to shoot a soccer referee

 

 

The Appeals Court reversed the acquittal verdict of the Criminal Court and sentenced a former army non-commissioned officer to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of attempting to murder a soccer referee at the parking lot of the Sports Authority of Thailand three years ago.

 

The convict, Sgt-Maj Sirisak “Ja Luang “Chanluang, a former officer of the army intelligence unit, and Mr Kosin Seenualkham were charged by the public prosecutor of conspiring to kill Sgt Thanom “Pao Nom” Borikut, a soccer referee. The incident occurred at the parking lot of SAT. The victim was, however, seriously injured.

 

Mr Kosin, the first defendant and the alleged shooter, died during the trial by the Criminal Court, leaving Sirisak the only defendant tried in the Criminal Court and the Appeals Court.

 

The Criminal Court acquitted Sirisak on August 28, 2015 for insufficient evidence to prove his guilt. The court said that the incriminating testimony made against Sirisak by the alleged gunman was one-sided and was not corroborated other evidences of the prosecution. The court then gave the benefit of doubt to the defendant and acquitted him.

The Criminal court needs jailing.

However, the Appeals Court thought otherwise, saying that even if the testimony of the alleged shooter was incriminating in nature against Sirisak, it would not have spared the former from the guilt.

Also, the court noted that the alleged shooter’s girlfriend had given her bank account number to Sirisak for money to be transferred into her account by the former army officer.

 

 

It's incriminating because he's a bloody criminal you twerps!

 

 

The first bit of true Thai justice I have seen for a long time but I wonder for the  reasons for it.

Keep it it up Thailand.

So how long will his life sentence be, less than 1 month with time off for having the correct brown paper bag 

Amazing how these angry psycho types become officers!!

Life Sentence in THailand depends of if he has shoe laces. But even wearing flip flips people tend to hang themselves.

It would be real justice if the judge of the court of first instance was investigated for having become "unusually wealthy" while this criminal case was pending in his court.
