Former station chief, Thitisan Utthanaphon, known as “Joe Ferrari” for his collection of luxury cars, is accused of demanding a 2 million baht bribe from two drug suspects before using plastic bags to suffocate the 24 year old […]

drugs police criminals money death....the same soup

This could part of a ploy to get him off .

Charge him with murder and he could quite easily prove that murder wasnt the intention and he will get a not guilty verdict .

   Charge him with manslaughter instead

There is no doubt about it because everything is documented znd filmed from the beginning til the end and including tge order for fake papers of the cause of the death. But as I looked on that picture here twice his skinny arms and his body look like from a drug addict that is many years already on drugs. People on meth or other hard drugs loose the feeling of starving.

You're not wrong there, although in a soup you might see some bits of the original. I'd go as far as suggesting it's been put in a liquidiser already.

Is there any audio on the footage of him demanding money?  That should seal his fate.  I don't believe for one second this was the first time he used this "interrogation technique"  He looked like an expert :)

Yes, but it's dull and muzzled.

Damn plastic bags.

That's how it can work in the West, but not how the law works (or is at least supposed to work) in Thailand where Sections 288 (murder) and 290 (manslaughter) both come under the same Act - an "Offence Causing Death" - so they're automatically connected.

Section 289 also applies, if the death involved "employing torture or acts of cruelty" (289-5) and was "for the purpose of securing benefit" (289-7).

Section 289 carries an automatic death penalty rather than a minimum and maximum sentence, like Sections 288 and 290.

The law in Thailand, or at least that particular part, has far less loopholes and makes far more sense than it often does in the West - at least in how it's supposed to be applied.

I'm not sure what point you're making here.

That if you're "skinny" and your "body look like from a drug addict that is many years already on drugs" that the police are entitled to treat you any differently to anyone else? 

I don't want to be argumentative, but as it stands and without explanation that's a pretty extraordinary observation to make when the young man you're talking about has just been killed in a particularly vicious and unpleasant way.

Yes the full video clip was quite clear, in Thai of course.
