Boxing gym owner Suriyadit “Sek Donmuang” Charaschitnarong, who is accused of hiring people to carry out the March 24 attack and murder at Lumpini boxing stadium, was Saturday released on bail worth Bt1 million by a Bangkok court.

 

Suriyadit’s request was accepted by Ratchadapisek Criminal Court, with three land title deeds as collateral.

 

Bang Khen precinct officers had brought Suriyadit, 42, to apply for the first detention period until April 19, pending  interview of five more witnesses in the case. They objected to any bail for this “influential” man.

 

But the court later granted bail with a warning that if the suspect threatened witnesses or tampered with evidence, his bail would be revoked.

 

Suriyadit surrendered to police on Thursday after an arrest warrant was issued for him over allegations that he hired Jirapan Koisap, 35, and Yuthana Kularpmoung, 44, to attack Udom Deekrajang, the 59-year-old chief referee at the stadium.

I wonder if he's already paid for the outcome as well. 

Despicable injustice in this country.....

This just proves once again that life has little or no value in Thailand.

A murder charge gets bail for 1 Million baht. That is the same as required for less than one gram of Ya Ice.

A guy last year was refused bail at One Million for having one suspected dodgy credit card. He was subsequently found not guilty after 15 months in jail.

Thailand has its priorities all wrong.
