From The Nation:
Ayutthaya – Mother of a cop killer suspect – found dead with two friends early morning Thursday – insisted her son had contacted police to turn himself in but was then killed extrajudicially.
Police denied killing the three and suspect their deaths resulted from “silence killing” among criminals.
Rattana said she would not file a compliant against police out of concern for her family’s safety but just wanted society to know that her son tried to turn himself in but was extrajudicially killed.
I believe the mother is right, the guy decides to surrender, is taken by the police to somewhere and then executed. Everyone in Thailand knows that the police are little more than a legal crime syndicate; they do whatever they want and get away with it. They shake down shops for protection money, extort money out of motorists, chop off women’s arms and cover it up, and shoot innocent people and call them drug dealers by planting a pill or two on the bodies to justify their screwups. So is it plausible that the police executed this guy in revenge? Most certainly. The fact that the police insist that this guy was killed by other criminals to prevent him from talking is even more damning. The police in Thailand must be super psychics or something to be able to determine the motives behind the murder that seems to ever so neatly cover their ass . It is very well within the realm of possibility that the police executed this guy, so why is it being ruled out so readily? This is why I feel the police are guilty and this woman is most definitely right.
