Welcome to the twisty tale of Praween “Kamnan Nok” Chankhlai, whose life took a dramatic turn one fateful evening in the often tranquil Nakhon Pathom province. Imagine mingling alongside a buzzing crowd of police and civilians at a local house party, when suddenly, without warning, it transforms into a scene straight out of a crime thriller movie. This was the case for attendees at Mr. Praween’s shindig on the night of September 6th, a date which would mark a haunting page in their calendars.
This isn’t your usual party anecdote. Pol Maj Sivakorn Saibua, a dashing officer from Highway Police Sub-Division 2, found his fate sealed by a bullet fired by none other than Thananchai Manmak. The brooding argument that escalated into chaos revolved around a promotion saga concerning Mr. Praween’s nephew, a narrative twist worthy of the most tangled of plotlines. Present at this shocking affair were numerous prominent figures and ordinary folks alike, all united under the shadow of this tragic event.
The day after the incident saw Mr. Praween, now a key figure in this story, turning himself in to the authorities, while his alleged henchman Thananchai became a fugitive. However, his run from the law was short-lived, as he faced his own demise in a gritty gunfight with police in the rugged province of Kanchanaburi. This event tied up one loose end but left another hanging in the form of a cloud of controversy and looming legal battles.
Enter the meticulous Crime Suppression Division (CSD) investigators, who took up their magnifying glasses and set out to untangle the intricate web woven that night. Their findings, ripe with the detail of a finely crafted detective novel, were dispatched post haste to the prosecutors for the grand act of indictment.
The sagacious spokesperson for the Office of Attorney General (OAG), Prayuth Phetkhun, addressed the rapt audience at a press conference. With the gravity of a seasoned orator, he unveiled the unfolding of a dual indictment saga. On one hand, we have the murder mystery of Sivakorn, with Thananchai as the gunman and Mr. Praween as the alleged mastermind behind the grim plot. Since Thananchai’s epilogue was penned by the hands of justice, Mr. Praween finds himself in the protagonist’s role of the courtroom drama that is set to ensue.
On the other side of the coin is an intriguing sub-plot involving a troupe of 28 who were witness to the night’s grim events, a mixture of both police officers and civilians. Their charge? A failure to display the wisdom and prudence commonly expected from an ordinary person under extraordinary circumstances. After a curtain call of legal scrutiny, 23 of the ensemble faced further spotlight in the halls of justice, while five – notably clothed in the uniform of the law – were deemed to have risen to the occasion.
The five officers, exempt from indictment, turned out to be the unexpected supporting characters of our narrative. They included the likes of Pol Col Krisdaporn Chong-aksorn, the illustrious former superintendent of Phayathai police, and his fellow comrades-in-arms. The spotlight shone favorably upon them as they were seen not as idle bystanders but as proactive Samaritans, including the noble act of rushing the wounded officer to the sanctuary of a hospital.
To thicken the plot, prosecutors theatrically filed the twin cases with two different courts. The somber murder chapter found its stage in the Criminal Court, while the other, tinged with corruption and misconduct, was set before the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases. And so the stage is set, the audience hushed, and the curtains drawn for a legal showdown that promises all the intrigue and drama of a blockbuster script.
