Mekong Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 The police chief says he will fire the policemen involved in the fatal torture of a drug suspect in Nakhon Sawan after a clip showing a man being suffocated with a plastic bag went viral on Tuesday, a day after a provincial police boss vowed to probe the accusation. The 2.44-minute clip shows a man sitting on a chair, surrounded by four men in civilian clothes. They are in a room full of desks like one would find at a police station. One of the standing men covers the head of the seated man with a plastic bag. They beat him a few times while one of them is wrapping the bag around his neck and trying to push him down. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2170503/police-chief-vows-to-sack-cops-after-clip-goes-viral A bit more than getting sacked, more like charged with murder.

Mekong Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered a probe into the alleged killing of a drug suspect by a group of Nakhon Sawan policemen. Led by a top officer, they allegedly suffocated the drug suspect to death with a plastic bag in a botched attempt to extort 2 million baht out of him. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2170519/custody-death-clip-sparks-storm From the article Pol Col Thitisan, alias Jo Ferrari, was a student at the Royal Police Cadet Academy (class 57). His alias came from the fact that he owned many sports cars, including a Lamborghini limited-edition Aventador LP 720-4 50 Anniversary special. He was reportedly the first Thai to own this car. Even a blind man could see that assets far outstretch income yet nobody says anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Pure Evil. I can see how having a garage full of expensive sports cars wouldn't raise concerns given his 43,000 Baht salary a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hi, Now they should do the same check for all other high ranking police, military and other government officers. Anyone with assets beyond their means gets to explain them. No explanation, gov seizes the assets and uses it to buy vaccines. (Yeah, and pigs might fly some day as well ) Sanuk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 There was a man last year whom they caught over time wearing 20 or so watches of the Richard Mille type. Starter prices about 200.000 € I believe. The man could fully explain everything because he just borrowed them from a friend. He did not say who that friend was. The question should be superfluous but did that case go any further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hi, One of the ministers. And no, of course it didn't go any further Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 From another article Found at Pol Col Thitisan's 60-million-baht house were 29 luxury cars worth more than 100 million baht in total, said a source. So, over 160 Million THB of assets on a Policeman’s wage, he wasn’t from a rich family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
