Thai judge shoots himself in court after railing at justice system

A Thai judge shot himself in the chest in front of a packed court after acquitting several murder suspects and decrying the kingdom's judicial system in an impassioned speech broadcast on Facebook Live.

Critics say Thailand's courts often work in favour of the rich and powerful, while delivering swift and harsh sentences on ordinary people for minor offences. 

Kanakorn Pianchana, a judge at Yala court in the heart of the insurgency-battered Thai south, was delivering the verdict for five Muslim suspects in a gun murder case on Friday afternoon.

He acquitted the group, delivered a courtroom plea for a cleaner justice system, before pulling out a handgun and shooting himself in the chest. 

"You need clear and credible evidence to punish someone. So if you're not sure, don't punish them," the judge said addressing the court and broadcasting his words on his phone on Facebook live.

"I'm not saying that the five defendants didn't commit the crimes, they might have done so...
"But the judicial process needs to be transparent and credible... punishing wrong people makes them scapegoats."

The Facebook feed then cut, but witnesses said Kanakorn recited a legal oath in front of the former Thai king's portrait, before shooting himself in the chest.

"He is being treated by the doctors and is out of danger," Suriyan Hongvilai, the spokesman of the Office of the Judiciary, told AFP on Saturday.

"He shot himself because of 'personal stress'. But the cause behind the stress is not clear and will be investigated," he said.

No Thai judge has ever breached protocol by making similar statements on the wider justice system, he added.

A lawyer working with the suspects said Judge Kanakorn had ruled the prosecutor's evidence was insufficient to convict. 

"Right now the five are still being detained and are waiting to see if the state prosecutor appeals their acquittal," Abdulloh Hayee-abu, of the Muslim Attorney Centre in Yala told AFP. 

Over 7,000 people have died in 15 years of conflict in the Malay-Muslim majority southern region. 

Thousands of suspects have been jailed for acts linked to the insurgency, many under emergency laws imposed on the restive region.

Advocacy groups in the Thai south have long accused security forces of trumping up charges against Muslim suspects and using emergency laws to drive cases through the courts.

Hounded Online and Off, Man Commits Suicide Over Bangkok Bombing Claim


PATHUM THANI — A man committed suicide last night in his northern metro Bangkok home, days after an online claim was made that he was the bomber behind the Erawan Shrine attack.
Kittisak Meemang, 36, was discovered hanged in his bedroom at his home in Pathum Thani province at around 9pm last night, police told reporters, and his family believes he was hounded into taking his life after someone used his Facebook account to post a message in his name.

“The [statuses] said something like, ‘I am the one who bombed Ratchaprasong Intersection,’” his sister Anchittha Meemang said, referring to the intersection where the shrine is located.

Police ruled his death a suicide, saying they found nothing to indicate he’d been assaulted.
Anchittha said that before killing himself, Kittisak had recounted visiting an internet cafe on Sunday where he forgot to logout from his Facebook account. He told Anchittha that someone must have used his account to post a message claiming he was responsible for the bomb which killed 20 people and injured 150 more.

“I tried talking to him and deleted all the messages on my brother’s Facebook, and I deactivated it to end the problems,” she said, adding they went together to a local police station to file a report together as evidence his account was misused to post the message.

His family told reporters that Kittisak was involved in a car accident last year which left him with unspecified “brain damage.” They believe he took his life after becoming distraught over the chorus of condemnation he received for the message, including death threats and intimidation that carried over into the physical world.

His aunt Usa Meemang said Kittisak said he received “many” death threats via Facebook before deleting his account.

Two men on a motorcycle stopped Kittisak while he was going to work at around 9am yesterday and punched him before driving away, she said, adding that he filed a police complaint and then chose to stay home from work.

“After I cooked my dinner, I didn’t see my nephew coming down from his bedroom to eat dinner, so I went to see him, and I discovered that he was hanged dead,” Usa said.
Police sent Kittisak’s body for an autopsy and said the incident is under investigation.

What brings your mind to 'Suicide'?

What brings your mind to 'Suicide'?

1th/ When you have a very bad experience with people.
3th/ When you told people in confidence, and the break your trust.
4th/ When you think you sit so deep, and think there is no way out.

Than you must fighting for your life (same me) every day.

I want to tell you the truth what happened with my life.

In 2002 I tried a suicide attempt (gas) after my beautiful Thai wife leave me.
After when I come out the rescue clinic (Wolfheze / Netherlands), a psychiatrist contact me, outside the clinic and offer me help to bring back my previous Thai wife.
But he was a wolf in a sheepskin, and he live 2 life's.
He bring me so far, I must kill a Thai girl for him in the North of Thailand (Nan).
Her name was "Pleun" - I never forget. (I not want kill anybody)
But I go to see her, and talk the truth and warning her where I come for.
After we are good friends, I see there also a grandchild from this Mafia psychiatrist.
When I go in March 2003 go visit my mother, this gang pick me up at Schiphol Airport, and put me in a trunk of a car. (4 man) Then the put me 4 days in a basement-cell. The blame me for not have done their job. In the mean time the use my credit-cards for expensive objects. Then I must go with some Antillean's, do bad jobs, but in the mean time I try to contact some friend for a way out.
I escape and a Mollucan friend help on some money and his car.
I become with help from the mayor from the village I lived before on a new passport.
Than my mother helped me on a ticket to go back Bangkok.
The threaten my mother to kill her when I not do their job.
The say, we put your mother in a black dead bag.

My mother her last words were: God is on my side, and say please go back to Bangkok.
After when I come back in Bangkok, all my staff was gone.
This psychiatrist-mafia gang send my staff away, and show them before my old passport, and say, Peter (Gerrit) is dead.
I contact some old friend for help.
This gang steal before all my belongings and properties, the take the whole safe with all paperwork with them.

My life was empty for the first time !

With good friends I Re-start "Siam Trading" and get back in business, and go slowly try forget everything.

In 2010 came again a very bad man in my life. I meet this (Dutch-man living in Chalong Phuket) on Facebook. This was / is the most bad experience in my live. For this you must follow this link:

My life was empty for the Second time !

When I come back in Bangkok in October 2012, I must start again from the bottom, with 8 Thai Baht in my pocket. With a lousy health I must pick up my life. Happily with some very good friends I re-start my life for the 3th time. I know God bless them.

Half 2013 I meet some #Fake friends from #LYONESS, a shopping community from Austria on #Facebook
I setup a major network for them, (but I not a Austrian) and the steal my whole down-line.

Today's a "foggy day" for me.

Today's a "foggy day" for me.
 
I fall mental back, after nightmares, about terrible times last year (10 months) in Chalong Phuket.
My health is still not recovered, after losing 25 kilo's weight and haved to low blood pressure.
I hope still I can handle this, to be strong.
I pray to God, to give me the strength and light back.


In the bad times in Phuket I thought different times on suicide.
On the moment the same thinking come back.


It is very hard to be strong !

Can you believe, that people can destroy your live ?
