Court Denies Bail for Man Accused of Stabbing Police Officer
A man accused of stabbing a police officer during a birthday celebration at a Ladprao prawn farm on August 19 was denied bail after the court found evidence he posed a flight risk and danger to witnesses.
A violent altercation broke out during a birthday celebration for Ud Ratchada at a prawn farm in the Ladprao area on August 19. The suspect, Chulwai, known as Dam Ban Tai, allegedly used a concealed weapon to stab Lieutenant Sittisai Petchaindorn, known as Sergeant Jack, a police officer attached to the Special Operations Division. The officer sustained serious injuries. Police arrested the suspect on a criminal warrant for attempted murder and illegal possession of a weapon in an urban area. Following his detention, the suspect filed a request for bail. The Criminal Court, after reviewing the case, found sufficient evidence that the suspect acted violently in public with no regard for the law, deeming the offense serious. The court determined there was cause to believe the suspect would flee or interfere with evidence if released on bail. Prosecutors opposed bail, and the court rejected the suspect's request. The defendant has been transferred to Bangkok Special Prison.
