reader Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The following link contains dramatic video from an officer's camera that captures the moment leading to his death. Highway deaths are all to common in Thailand and the video demonstrates why. From Coconuts Bangkok Police today were hailing one of their own killed in the line of duty for his bravery after he was killed during a pursuit in north metro Bangkok. The agency responsible for policing the highways recognized the bravery of Sgt. Maj. Setthakan Loykhampom who was killed yesterday in Pathum Thani province after a routine stop led to a high-speed pursuit because the suspect feared that he would be busted for possessing a vape. The 36-year-old driving instructor said that Setthakan had tried to search his car, and he feared arrest because there was an e-cigarette and a bottle of beer. Police said he is likely to be charged with murdering a law enforcement officer under Section 289 of the Penal Code.

Pretty poor excuse for what he did, I see a long prison sentence is on the cards for him, unless he falls out of a high window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIrishGuy Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The driver may hope that he's somehow related to a Red Bull relative somewhere if he's to have any chance of escaping prosecution for this one !!!!
