An inmate was shot dead while trying to climb over a fence and escape from the Central Correctional Institution For Drug Addicts in Bangkok's Chatuchak district on Friday.

 

Following the 3pm report of an inmate's extra-judicial killing, Prachacheun police officers found the body of Mae Hong Son native Pichit Chokpakchitporn, 32, at the prison fence. 

 

A police probe found that the inmate tried to escape while others were taking a shower. He got out of his cell and climbed over the first and second ring fences when prison guards spotted him. 

 

He disregarded guards shouting at him to stop and surrender as he was about to climb over the third outer fencer. He was shot and killed instantly by a guard to stop the jailbreak.

 

His body was sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Police General Hospital for an autopsy.

 

Pichit was arrested on November 23, 2016, after being found with 170,000 yaba pills and three kilograms of crystal meth or "ice" in Mae Hong Son's Pai district. He was transporting the drugs, worth Bt40 million, in a sedan for the Hmong drug trafficking ring, which is led by alleged drug baron Laota Sanli. 

 

The 79-year-old Laota was arrested on October last year in Chiang Mai's Mae Ai border district together with 13 others for narcotic smuggling.

Died from an acute case of lead poison. Kudos to the guard and a great shot.

There should be more of these "jailbreaks"... starting with the rapist taxi driver....

9 out of 10 for effort

Maybe it's you who should read more carefully.  He was clearly referring to the 79 year old drug baron, Laota Sanli

Okay your turn  Who is referring to whom ? 

No one think this strange? He has 170,000 YaBa and 3kg Ya Ice. Maybe the boy is suspected of being a canary? He is shot inside the prison, so no independent witnesses.

AND they admit it is an extra judicial killing! Someone up the food-chain just breathed easier I suspect.

Do you think that someone pushed him over the wall ?

No. I think someone shot him! I seem to recall that is what the original post quoted as the cause of death.

Methinks that may have been an over excited reporter. Escaping or attempting to escape from prison is certainly going to get you shot and IMO don't see how it could be classified as extra judicial. As for your other claims mules here are frequently nabbed with that much gear and more not saying you are incorrect but either do I think the big conspiracy is in place. Lot of easier ways to knock him than to carry him three fences away from the prison.

 

He will not do it again and it will discourage attempts,  should be more of it.

RIP, it may have been suicide rather than life in a Thai jail.

Maybe he tried to escape, rather than suicide or a life in a Thai jail ?

After long deliberation and two cups of coffee I'll go with the 32 year old getting shot.

?

Friday is the best day for shopping at Chatuchak Market.  Maybe he just needed some shopping therapy.  RIP.
