Mother Unfazed by 106 Methamphetamine Pills, Demands Investigation into Police Foot-Kicking Motorcycle That Led to Son's Fatal Crash
A 25-year-old motorcyclist died in a crash while evading traffic police in Rayong, with his mother demanding an investigation into claims officers kicked his motorcycle, though 106 methamphetamine pills were found at the scene.
A 25-year-old motorcyclist named Siwanat died after his motorcycle hit a parked car and flipped over while evading traffic police in Mab Tap Phud subdistrict, Rayong province. A witness claims he didn't crash on his own but was kicked off his bike by police. On April 24, the mother, Wichuda, met with investigating officer Sawat Non Singha at the police station to hear an explanation about the incident that occurred around noon on April 23. After their 20-minute private conversation, Wichuda told reporters she wasn't concerned about the 106 methamphetamine pills found in a wallet thrown along the road—if her son was guilty, she would accept it since he could no longer defend himself. However, she remained suspicious about allegations that police kicked the motorcycle, causing it to flip and her son's death.
Police traffic officers stated they saw Siwanat riding a motorcycle with loud exhaust and excessive speed, appearing reckless, so they followed him to conduct a search. CCTV footage from near Mab Tap Phud Temple showed him riding away, and officers observed his left hand pulling something from his pants and throwing it along the road. Later, officials found a wallet containing 106 methamphetamine pills. The police commander confirmed justice would be served fairly. An investigation is currently underway with the two officers involved to determine if their actions complied with standard procedure, with all evidence to be compiled for case filing.
