Army sergeant wanted over shooting incident 

By The Nation

 

BANGKOK: -- Police are seeking an arrest warrant from a military court for an Army sergeant who allegedly shot a civilian at an Army apartment building in Bangkok.

Police said Daen Homraruen, 40, was shot three times and severely wounded at about 9.30pm in a stairwell of the apartment building on Thahan Road in Thanon Nakhon Chaisri subdistrict Indusit.

 

He was treated at Vachira Phayabal Hospital.

 

Daen’s brother-in-law, Paramet Lekthimthong, 33, lives with Daen.

 

Paramet alleged Sergeant Anudul Sukkho, 33, drove his pickup truck to the building and when he saw him sitting outside the building he started shooting at him.

 

Paramet said when Dean emerged in the stairwell Anudul shot him and left.

 

Paramet said Daen and Anudul had had a dispute as their wives have vending stalls next to each other at a market and often quarrel.

The shooting happened in an Army apartment building off military post.

Why would police require a warrant from a military court? The military has no jurisdiction over what happens on civilian property. The alleged assailant likely wasn't even on military duty. It should have been sufficient for police to quickly get a warrant from a civilian court.

Of course there's the reality that the nation is under military rule. And the police fall indirectly under military jurisdiction. So probably out of caution so as to not upset military authorities, the police went to the military for a warrant. And Prayut wants to reform the police to be more effective?
