[Thaiger]

The PM has ordered an investigation into the alleged killing of a man while in police custody in the northern province of Nakhon Sawan. A leaked video of the alleged incident has gone viral, prompting outrage around the country. According to a Bangkok Post report, police arrested a man and woman accused of drug offences and, while questioning the pair, attempted to extort 1 million baht from them. However, the station superintendent, Thitisan Utthanaphon, then doubled the amount to 2 million. In an attempt to force the man to comply, he placed a plastic bag over his head. In the […]

So if the great leader had not ordered one there would be no investigation of a film showing a man being murdered (allegedly) in a Police station during and extortion attempt and the Dr being bullied to lie about cause of death? Amazing Thailand indeed. I thought the Police were here to protect people, not kill them.

He has probably ordered the investigation more like to identify how this video got into the public domain rather then his concern for the events that took place.

Only thing Prayut is interested in is finding out who spilled the beans, so that nasty, nasty person can be reprimanded, and removed from their job.

Just shows how twisted/corrupt plod here are, they will do anything to extort money out of people, a disgusting crowd of morons.

How far up the chain of command was that 2 million baht supposed to go? That will determine the outcome of this investigation.

Investigate what? It’s in video!

Of course he will say this ! He wants to tell people to do what they are doing just to look good.. it will probably not come to anything. They will fabricate a rediculas lie that everyone will believe (except us) and then the cop gets moved to another location..

Alledged killing. This place is becoming more like Maynmar everyday.

Probably only the tip of the iceberg. So the guy's name is Jo Ferrari becauwe he has exotic sports car as a 300k per year policeman.  Hmmm.  The country is so corrupt why should anyone believe anything coming out of the "official" mouths.  And when I see these very expensive cars running around Thailand I wonder where the money came from. I doubt it was earned the hard way.

With all the negative reporting on plenty of matters, it makes more sense for the police to clean up their act by themselves rather than to be dragged into the 21st century. Just about everything is recorded nowadays and lots of things will not fly anymore as they have in the past.

Besides, it doesn't make business sense. Send some officers on the beat and they make more money by simply fining people not complying with regulations! More money for them, and good for us too!

The Police officer involved has been charged with murder and is currently gone into hiding

More craziness, anyone charged with murder should not get bail, he should be on remand, The video is all over tik tok, Thais seems rightly pretty outraged, if not surprised

This would be akin to Trump investigating Barr. Never gonna happen. More of his staged stooge nonsense. Prayuth does not care about corruption or crimes committed by his henchmen. He is there to protect them, not convict them. The only time they are arrested is when it becomes big news, or it is reported internationally, and Thailand gets a ton of egg on it's face. And even then, it normally does not result in a conviction. Very, very few current (not former) police, immigration, customs, cabinet officials, army officials, or administration officials are arrested here, tried, convicted and imprisoned.

My guess is it is one of the lowest rates in the world. The corruption here is never ending.

And to think that tiny P. came into office with the agenda of cleaning the place up. LOL. About as amusing, and about as sincere as Trump draining the swamp. Nothing ever got cleaned up. If anything, things are filthier under the army, then they were before.

Now he has a holiday and next elections he throws his hat in the ring so he can join the other like minded that run the country.
