    Police inspect car used to 'run over' woman in parking dispute

    Police inspect car used to 'run over' woman in parking dispute

    Police inspect car used to 'run over' woman in parking dispute

    Officers at Bangkok's Phya Thai Police Station yesterday inspected a car that was allegedly used by a military officer last week to run over a woman over a parking dispute. The victim is in hospital and still in critical condition.

    The victim's mother Dr Pannakorn Imwittaya, who was formerly a lecturer at Siriraj Hospital, met the Metropolitan Police Division 1 chief Pol Maj-General Wichai Songprapai yesterday to provide information about the incident and appeal for justice. She also told him that she was concerned about her family's safety.

    On the day of the incident, Pannakorn and her daughter Major Hathaiporn Imwittaya, who works as a doctor at the Phra Mongkutklao Hospital, returned home to find a Nissan sedan with the licence plate number "Wor Khor 1355" blocking the entrance.

    Pannakorn went to the restaurant nearby to look for the car owner, while Hathaiporn parked her car next to the Nissan sedan and rushed home to use the toilet.

    The car owner, who appeared to be drunk and was reportedly upset about having to move his car across the street, suddenly sped across to hit Hathaiporn as she was about to get into her vehicle. He reportedly tried to hit her again, but sped away when neighbours intervened.

    Pannakorn said the neighbours had found a windscreen wiper, believed to have fallen off the culprit's car, and had kept it for use as evidence. She said the officer obviously believed that he had enough clout to protect himself.

    Wichai, meanwhile, said the police were not dragging their feet but might be a bit slow in taking action due to bureaucracy, but would ensure justice for all sides.

    Hathaiporn, 34, who sustained severe concussion, is in critical condition despite two surgeries.

    Meanwhile, yesterday afternoon, officials from the Office of the Army Comptroller delivered a Nissan sedan at the police station for inspection. Phya Thai superintendent Pol Colonel Saman Rodkamnerd said police needed to collect evidence before the culprit could be identified.

    Initial inspection showed that the car delivered to the police station might be the one driven by the officer, except its windshield only had one sticker, while the culprit's was said to have several, though one of its windshield wipers looked like it was changed recently.

    Phya Thai deputy superintendent Pol Lt-Colonel Chote Suwanjunee said police were planning to file a charge of assaulting another with the intention to kill, because this was not a hit-and-run accident. He added that police also had security camera footage of the attack.

    Office of the Army Comptroller deputy director Maj-General Pisut Pao-in said the car belonged to the office, but because it has had engine problems since June 8, it was not taken out of the compound.

They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    Bangkok Post : Cover-up accusations fly over hit-and run

    Cover-up accusations fly over hit-and run
    The family of a Phra Mongkut Hospital doctor who remains comatose after an apparent deliberate hit-and-run is accusing military leaders of trying to cover up the case.


    Hathaiporn: Comatose after hit-and-run

    The mother of Maj Hathaiporn Imwitthaya, 34, said police are dragging their feet after they were stopped by military security when trying to impound the vehicle they suspect was used in the crime.

    Pannakorn Imwitthaya said the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters (RTAFH) provided police with false evidence.

    <snipped, same as above>

    "I suspect [the hit-and-run] was a deliberate act and that the man must know he has back-up," she said.

    An army source said the Nissan sedan was on loan to a retired army general whose son, a lieutenant colonel, was being linked to the hit-and-run.

    What a liberty taking [at][at][at][at].
    I just read in the BKK Post that the army headquarters where the car was then impounded delivered a different car to the police.

    It must be nice to be a powerful Thai and be able to kill everyone you don't like, and then get away with it, which he will.

    And people still try to argue that these chickenheads are actually capable of pursuing an ideology ?

    The Thai are irresponsible, reckless and fundamentally stupid.

    They conduct their idiotic lives as if they were still in the school playground, where in fact many actually are, emotionally and intellectually, as they navigate in that haphazard way through life until they eventually mature into adulthood aged at around 40 years for most.

    This retarded development is omnipresent in their society and has been institutionalised to the degree it constitutes their culture. That the drunken moron guilty of this cretinous behaviour is an officer in the armed forces would be shocking to any decent society but that he is evidently being protected by his superiors is quite another thing and signals a profound corruption of the Thai body politic which is in truth just a loose collection of gangs operating to a code of conduct practised by juveniles.

    Morons all, but entertaining I suppose.

    Bangkok Post : Officer in hit-and-run case surrenders

    Breakingnews >A colonel attached to the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters (RTAFH) surrendered to Phayathai police on Tuesday to hear charges in connection with an incident in which a female doctor of Phra Mongkut Hospital was hit by a car and seriously injured early this month.

    Col Saksit Phuklam, director of the Central Division of the Office of the Comptroller General, was accompanied by officers from the Judge Advocate General's Department when he surrendered.

    The officer denied he hit Maj Hathaiporn Imwitthaya, 34, alias Mor Muk, with his car before fleeing. The incident took place on June 11 near Maj Hathairat's home on Sethasiri road in Phayathai district.

    Col Saksin told the police that on that day he, his wife, their daughter, and a friend of the daughter, went to eat at Sena Villa restaurant.

    After the dinner, they walked to their car to go home and found it to have been blocked by Maj Hathaiporn's car, which could not be moved because it was not on a neutral gear.

    His daughter became angry and wrote "bad-mannered parking" on the windshield of the doctor's car.

    At the time, Maj Hathaiporn came to her car and they had an argument.

    Col Saksit said he called 191 police to clear the quarrel, but failed to get connected. Maj Hathairat then moved her car from the spot.

    While he was about to pull his car out, Maj Hathaiporn walked to his car and pounded on it. He took a picture of her car's licence plate number.

    When he was again pulling his car out, the doctor jumped onto the hood, grabbed a rain wiper and pulled it off. He suddenly stopped the car and pulled back, causing Maj Hathaiporn to fell down.

    Col Saksit said he had no intention of hitting her.

    After the interrogation, the officer was released without having to seek bail because he surrendered by himself.

    Pol Maj-Gen Wichai Sangprapai, the Metropolitan Police Division 1 commander, said he would closely monitor the investigation into the case and would ensure justice to both sides.

    Col Saksit's statement was different from that Maj Hathaiporn's mother, Mrs Pannakorn.

    Mrs Pannakorn told police that her daughter was hit by a Nissan sedan driven by a man, who looked like a military officer, while she was about to get into her car. The impact sent Maj Hathaiporn into the air and she landed 30 metres away, she said.

    The mother claimed the police were dragging their feet after they were stopped by military police at the RTAFH while trying to impound the vehicle suspected to be involved in the incident. She also accused military leaders of trying to cover up the case.

    As of yesterday, Maj Hathaiporn reportedly remained in comatose Phra Mongkut Hospital.

    Dr Boonchote Kiangkittiwan, a Phra Mongkut Hospital doctor, said today Maj Hathaiporn had shown signs of recovering by opening her eyes and moving her body.

    She was required to remain under a close watch of doctors for treatment of a swelling brain.

    No surprise there.

    A perennial feature of any chickenhead held to account for his idiocy is the inevitable way he will attempt to weasel out of any punishment for it.

    Quite simply, they are congenitally incapable of accepting responsibility even if they have been caught bang to rights. I suspect it stems from the practice whereby they sleep with their mothers, grannies or any older woman until they get hitched with a substitute of their own. Also probably explains why most of them are just a few drinks away from poofterdom.

    ^ TG, goes deeper than that.
    Thai's indulge their male children, there is no effective disciplinary regime in most households.
    teachers are taught not to discipline make children for fear if parental reaction, We removed our girls out of a Coed private school for that reason, the boys in the classes were exhibiting typical male chicken head behavior and the girls were losing out on valuable education time because the males were disrupting classes.
    A Thai mothers response to a behavioral infraction is to just raise her hand without actually doing anything.
    Later in life when they transgress, the response is to cover up or bribe their way out.
    There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking

    Could not believe my eyes when living on my old estate, saw Thai mothers running around on the street with a plate and a spoon feeding their small sons whenever they where allowed near enough or there where a lul in the games, and the hysterics if the little critters where not getting their way no wonder some react like crazy spoiled psycho morons as adults.

    But what surprised me most was they had Farang fathers/stepfathers who didn't give a shit, I know other mixed couples with kids where the children are completely different, polite, quiet (when called for) and a pleasure to be around. The other guys are going to be sorry later I'm afraid.

    Bangkok Post : Officer in hit-and-run case surrenders

    Published: 21/06/2011 at 04:02 PM

    [Same title but this links to an expanded version of post #15 above with a few more details - and now including alleged surveillance camera video uploaded to YouTube]



    "A purported surveillance camera video posted on YouTube by CiNNtv1 shows a car (in red circle) making a U-turn, pausing briefly and then hitting Maj Hathaiporn (in blue circle) as she was about to get into her car on the night of June 11, 2011. After the car hit the woman doctor, it made another U-turn and fled with its headlights turned off."

    Officer surrenders, but denies running woman over


    By The Nation
    Published on June 22, 2011


    The military officer, who allegedly ran over a woman after a parking dispute on June 11, surrendered to police yesterday. Though he denied running over Major Dr Hathaiporn Imwittaya, claiming that she jumped onto the hood of his car, the victim's mother insisted that her daughter never had an argument with the officer.

    <snip, same as Bangkok Post report>

    After the interview, Saksit was released without bail on grounds that he had surrendered. Metropolitan Police Division 1 chief Pol Maj-General Wichai Songprapai said police would investigate the case further and the wrongdoer would be punished.

    Meanwhile, Deputy Metropolitan Police Commander Pol Maj-General Amnuay Nimmano said that even though Saksit had surrendered, he could still not be ruled out as culprit, because his testimony went against the security camera footage.

    The victim's mother, Dr Pannakorn Imwittaya, insisted that her daughter did not argue with the suspect as he claims. However, she said, she would not hold a grudge against the man because he had surrendered, and the case should be allowed to run its course according to law.

    Pol Lt-General Jaramporn Suramanee, chief of the Police Forensics Science Office, said initial checks show that the Nissan Sunny Neo delivered to police for inspection on Monday could be the one that hit Hathaiporn as per the licence plate, engine number and wiper serial numbers. Police also found traces of several stickers having been removed.

    Meanwhile, Phra Mongkutklao Hospital doctor Boonchote Khiangkittiwan said Hathaiporn's condition had improved and she was slowly coming around. Doctors will keep her under surveillance until she has fully recovered.

    Chairman of the Medical Council, Dr Amnat Kusalanan, who visited Hathaiporn yesterday, said the council would issue a letter to national police chief Pol General Wichean Potephosree and related police officers to ensure justice for Hathaiporn.

    Meanwhile, Army Chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha said yesterday that the Army would protect the doctor and that everything would go according to law.

    Defence Ministry spokesman Colonel Thanatip Sawangsaeng, meanwhile, quoted Defence Minister General Pravit Wongsuwan as saying that the Army should help police investigators find additional evidence for the case.

    Agree on that. A friend's 12 year old step-son still showers together with his mother and sleeps with both of them in their bed when home from boarding school at the weekend.

    I imagine the lad still expects his mum to clean his bits for him. Weird.

    Witnesses Account Hit-and-Run Incident

    UPDATE : 22 June 2011

    Witnesses to the incident in which an army officer allegedly ran his car over a military doctor have testified that the colonel was not the driver who struck the doctor with his car.

    According to eyewitnesses, a Bangkok-registered bronze Nissan sedan was the vehicle that struck the military doctor, Major Hathaiporn Imwitthaya, or Doctor Muk, in front of Saowarot Clinic at 9 P.M. on June 11.

    Although witnesses asserted that the suspected army officer, Colonel Saksit Pu-glun, who turned himself to Phaya Thai police yesterday was not the driver in the incident.


    They recounted that they were on the sidewalk of Kampangpetch Road near the clinic when they heard a car crash and then they ran to the site of the accident to provide help.

    They said when they arrived at the scene, they saw the driver of the Nissan sedan and it was not Saksit since the driver was much fatter.

    They also said they could remember the driver's face in detail.

    In another account, witnesses said they heard of the accident and rushed to help the doctor lying on the ground before the the emergency medical team arrived.

    However, they did not mention the quarrel between the car driver and the doctor that Saksit mentioned in his testimony.

    The witnesses also recalled seeing a passenger in the vehicle but could not remember whether that person was male or female.
