@ Discussion 15: What you are saying is non-sense. Those cops convicted of murder having nothing to lose and everything to win to kill again! They did it one time (at least) they can do it again and there is no logic behind their release. The kid that was killed was a human being and therefore had the right to live. Nothing can justify his killing!

@ Discussion 2 and 6 Even the so called killer cops were not as dangerous as a serial killer, which this case appears to be. Their killing was just one of many extrajudicial killings than happened during Thaksin's silly drug war, so to some degree so long as they are not working as cops, they are not dangerous. I also doubt very much that the kid they supposedly killed was exactly an innocent victim or an asset to society.

All the mentioned charges by Tha Mai Ruak police chief against the suspect seemed to be minor and does not constitute any capital offences !!!

Discussion 4 : 24/09/2012 at 12:44 PM

Have they checked his assets to see if he is unusualy rich or frozen them I doubt it, he will probable get bail and flee to Cambodia, Thailand gets more like Gaddafi's Libya every day

First: You make a tough statement, arrest someone, tell the media you will be enforcing the law to the maximum. Second: You get media coverage and everyone applauds your tough stand. Third: You actually do nothing at all and leave it as it was, no one asks a question, the media had their frontpage news, money changes hands and everyone and everything goes on as before. Thai justice and politics in 2012

Apart from the rights or wrongs you are arrested, questioned and if the evidence is there charged.That is that how it should work.Bail is considered and if the prosecution put up a better case than the defending council for his retention then bail is refused on the grounds then the suspect,and that is all he is at this stage of the game,is a danger to the public and he is locked up until his trial.

Aren't the police jumping the gun by dismissing him? I certainly don't want him released on bail, but standard procedure requires he be proven guilty before he can be treated as such. If he is, then throw the book at him - but not before.

Discussion 8 : 24/09/2012 at 11:07 AM

Clever move by the hospital to dismiss this doctor, after all would you feel safe being treated by a suspected murderer. Maybe Chalerm can find him an inactive post for the next 6 years while he waits for evidence to be complied against him.

"Of course, I'm afraid of his influence because he is a senior police officer". In most countries, people don't fear the police this way, but TIT. Note that it seems ridiculous to dismiss anyone on the grounds of being a suspect, but then again, TIT. IF a murder suspect would be granted bail, those responsible for allowing bail would need to be prosecuted for potentially endangering public safety. Anyone who believes that justice will be this done in this case is naive.

3 policemen convicted of murder are free on bail. One girl who killed 9 people in a road accident is free, too. This man is going to be free soon! This is Thai style justice and we as foreigners cannot understand it!

Discussion 11 : 24/09/2012 at 09:47 AM

Disc. 1 - Difficult to envision but easy to find as in the 3 convicted killer police were let out on bail even though facing the death sentence. By the way, we haven't heard about them lately, have they been executed or have they executed a change of identity?

Discussion 12 : 24/09/2012 at 09:03 AM

The problem will be if the corpses get together and hold a protest the police will stop working and do no more.

Discussion 13 : 24/09/2012 at 08:44 AM

I used to live in this village. The police has known for years what went on but they do not like to prosecute their own. If not for some media outside Petchaburi this case would have never gone anywhere. The hospital will be sacking him before he is even found guilty? That is pretty strange or what? The doctor will be on bail soon, rest assured. This police station and its officers is as rotten as can be, it is the same station that 8 months ago charged animal protectors with illegal wildlife possession without giving them a chance to provide evidence... Charity workers are charged within 3 hours while a murderer walks for 3 years just because he is a police officer, indeed a pathetic system....

Discussion 14 : 24/09/2012 at 06:14 AM

If released on bail, I would expect him to go after the workers from Myanmar and force them to change their stories or dispose of them somehow. In any event, if he goes to prison, he'll be out after a year after paying money. After all, he is a policeman.

Discussion 15 : 24/09/2012 at 05:47 AM

Sadly, since 3 convicted killer cops were allowed to be released on bail . . . where are they now? It’s pretty certain that since this guy as a cop, we will walk. What a pathetic and sick system. Sure is nothing even remotely resembling 'justice' in the Thai so-called legal system.

Discussion 16 : 24/09/2012 at 05:38 AM

Danger to society is one of the few legitimate reasons to deny bail to the accused, and it would be difficult to envision a case in which that reason was more applicable than this one.
