BANGKOK: -- Crime Suppression Department (CSD) officers yesterday searched a Bangkok apartment which was rented by the 21-year-old son of a senior policeman who allegedly fatally stabbed a Silpakorn University student in the head with a screwdriver.

 

CSD commander Pol Maj-General Sapphuang Suthin said they were hoping to find additional evidence, such as bloodstained clothes, in Dechathorn Mulsri’s apartment, on Soi Charansanidwong 65 in Bang Plat district. 

 

Forensic officers collected samples from the room, which was said to be in a tidy condition, to look for evidence. 

 

The apartment caretaker told police that Dechathorn had rented the room along with friends in 2015. Other tenants said it was frequented by visitors who often made noise.

 

The search related to the murder of student Thirapong Thitatharn, 24, who was fatally stabbed in his dormitory in Phetchaburi on February 25 after about 20 assailants burst into his room. He succumbed to the injuries on March 2.

 

Suthin said additional evidence from the scene of the attack had been submitted for DNA testing. 

 

Investigators were checking if there were grounds for a claim by the victim’s family that three more individuals had been involved in the attack, he said. 

 

Suthin said it was unlikely that any influential figure or group would try to pressure or intimidate the witnesses, in response to earlier speculation that the real perpetrators of the crime might be shielded from law enforcement.

They are just looking to collect all the screwdrivers before they send him home again.

 

Also, a fair warning to all. see what can happen to people for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Remember to never ask for a screwdriver next time you sit in a bar. You might end up getting it in your head!

Officers very kindly cleaned the apartment and painted it from head to toe in a lovely shade of "whitewash".

So it would appear they need "additional evidence" to prosecute ? Pathetic !

When the original story appeared a couple of weeks ago, I doubt there was a single member of this forum who did not believe that the perpetrators in the case would be the sons of the connected. Here is the confirmation and again the children of police as the ringleaders. While " the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" may be part of the explanation, the truly scary thing is how this generation of connected brats and sleazebags believe they can do as they please, with impunity. And they are pretty much correct...largely untouchable and when caught the case disappears without trace.

I hope the killer(s) of the student are brought to real justice, but I have my worries. The corruption here is truly awful.

 

Foreigners often ask "Why don't Thais stand up to this? Why do they allow it?" I don't think it's a lack of wanting to - I think it's a lack of admitting there's a problem. 

 

Have you ever met a Thai person and thought "I'm going to tell them I'm new to Thailand". Often when they think you're new they will tell you about the wonders that are Thailand. Friendly, smiley people. Wonderful food. Devout Buddhists. A complete overkill of bragging. Basically, you might be given an impression that you're living in Utopia. Not every Thai, of course. But many Thais live with the notion of ignoring problems and being more concerned with giving the appearance that everything is okay.

 

Every country and culture has it's problems. You have your good and your bad people. Thailand doesn't have more good or more bad than other countries. Thailand's biggest problem is admitting there's a problem. The first step to bettering yourselves is admitting your problems and addressing them. Unfortunately, when you tell people they're the best, many will believe it.

 

South Korea and Colombia are perfect examples of two countries that had huge problems but are fixing them. Their problems were different, but they were big problems. People said "Enough is enough!" and they started working together as a nation. The lived by the idea that the majority are more important than the minority. Everyone is equal. They, like every other country, have their problems - but they are addressing them. 

 

You can't fix a problem if you don't admit there is one.

What about asking for a Bloody Mary, would that be all right? By the way this guy is sick, he stabbed through the eye and out at the back of the skull. This guy is danger to the society even after psychotherapy he shouldn't be let out in the public. He doesn't deserve a life in public, the jail house is fit for him.

I used to think that Thai's were blind to what was happening around them! after many years I came to realise they understand what is happening but are scared to say anything.

They know the mental disposition of there fellow country folks is on shaky grounds, complaints put them in the firing line! They know the police will do nothing if they are abused!!

Until the corruption that makes it impossible for the average Thai to complain is addressed and gives them a platform to voice fair,  justifiable complaints, no progress can be made, the fear factor is too strong!

Don't hold your breath on anything changing soon!
