Court Grants Bail to 'Suea Dusit' in Ex-Girlfriend Assault Case
The Nonthaburi Provincial Court has granted bail to Samrit Rimthuen, known as 'Suea Dusit,' in an assault case against his ex-girlfriend. He was released on 300,000 baht bail and required to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. The Supreme Court approved the release after noting his previous compliance with bail conditions and the relatively light potential sentence.
The Nonthaburi Provincial Court read the Supreme Court's order regarding the temporary release request for Defendant 1, Samrit Rimthuen, also known as 'Suea Dusit,' in black case number O.520/2569. He and two co-defendants were detained over charges of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and a prior case involving group assault. On October 29, defense lawyers filed an appeal to the Supreme Court seeking temporary release for Defendant 2, Maitri, after the Appeal Court had previously denied bail. On November 1, the Supreme Court reviewed the case, noting the lower court's sentence for Defendant 2 was not severe and that he had previously been released on bail without fleeing. The Supreme Court granted temporary release for Defendant 2 on 300,000 baht bail with an EM device to monitor movement. On November 2, lawyers filed a similar appeal for Defendant 1, Samrit. The Supreme Court ruled that his sentence was also not severe and he had no history of fleeing while on bail. The court granted his temporary release on 300,000 baht bail combined with an electronic monitoring device to prevent flight or danger.
