Thread: Soldiers Accused Of Appropriating Drug Suspect's Car, Amulet

SURAT THANI — A group of soldiers on Koh Samui island have been accused of torturing a man into confessing to trafficking marijuana and then seizing his belongings for their personal use.

Somkid Siriboon, from Bueng Kan province in northeastern Thailand, was arrested on the southern island in early September by army officers from the 25th Infantry Regiment for allegedly transporting 42 kilograms of marijuana.

According to a report released by the military at the time, Somkid intended to sell the marijuana to foreign tourists on the neighbouring Koh Pha Ngan island, the site of the monthly Full Moon Party.

But his family said today that army officers falsely implicated Somkid and physically abused him until he confessed.

According to Somkid's wife, Suphee Siriboon, the officers who arrested her husband also confiscated his pick-up truck, gold necklace, amulet, cash, and ATM cards. Instead of storing the confiscated items in a state agency, the soldiers retained them for personal use, Suphee said.
