BANGKOK: Royal Thai Police are probing a report which claimed a senior police officer in Nakhon Sawan accidentally killed a drug suspect in a botched attempt to extort him out of B2 million. An investigation was launched after the claim was made public by celebrity lawyer Decha Kittiwittayanan on Facebook. According to Mr Decha’s post, the case began with the arrest of a man and woman over drug offences by a team from the provincial police. The officers, he said, pressed the pair into agreeing to pay B1mn to be released. However, a senior officer, a police colonel, demanded the pair double the amount. As they negotiated the amount, the officer put a plastic bag over the man’s head to intimidate him, but he suffocated and died instead, the post said. Before sending his body to the hospital, the senior officer instructed his subordinates to ensure the man’s cause of death was listed as a drug overdose. He then released the woman from police custody, in exchange for keeping her mouth shut. A subordinate who witnessed the entire thing decided to lodge a complaint, Mr Decha said. https://www.thephuketnews.com/probe-after-drug-suspect-dies-in-cop-extortion-bid-81147.php Here's the video from thai rath news twitter feed, be warned it's extremely disturbing, but shows just how corrupt, uncivilised, pitiless and savage the thai police can be when there is money to be had. https://twitter.com/i/status/1430187093062418436

Off up to Central tomorrow for first Tizer Jab - as is Grunt !

Not me Guv ! Wired in from 'Scoop' QG !

LATE NEWS ! HOLD THE FRONT PAGE ! An update on this story. I had agreed to accompany BBG on a shopping trip for provisions. The 'Grunt' had fancied a brace of Nut Cutlets to liven up his Pot Noodles (from 7-11 - on offer). On completion of his shopping we agreed to pause a while and partake of light refreshments. (7-11 of course). I was enjoying a Sang Som free Soda and BBG was slurping a 'Lem Sip'. Suddenly we were joined by this mob of Wife Beater Vest wearers - vulgar shorts and tacky sports wear. We tried to distance ourselves but they were everywhere - waving cheap beer and lager cans (thanks to 7-11). We made a move to leave - too late - the sound of sirens (courtesy of Simon and Garfunkle) cut through the night and The Boys in Brown descended. Before we could protest our innocence we were oiked into the back of a cattle truck along with the aforementioned trailer trash. At the Police Station we explained the situation - this fell on deaf ears ! "Banged up to rights" as the chief pig said. So here we are in chokey. The Grunt has been in touch with one of his Hi-So friends who has great influence and we hope to be back on the streets in the next few hours. ! The Truth will Out. !

One of the actors in 'Greyzone' was the main man in an excellent (3 season series) - '4 Blocks'. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5754602/ Also best I've seen recently "No Man's Land". Action on the Turkish Syrian border. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8335218/

Just started watching 'Greyzone' Nordic thriller - not too bad. Better than I've found on Brit TV. Tho' the Scan/Nordic etc film producers are having a heavy time of it from Netflix etc by wanting more productions churned out in less time. Article in today's Guardian. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6060992/ https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/aug/15/were-not-robots-film-makers-buckle-under-relentless-appetite-for-danish-tv

Cheers - D/L it now. Thanks.

A word from our sponsor ! The Right Irreverant 'Hell and Damnation' Grunt. (Defrocked) "Let him who is without mask - cast the first stone" !

There are a few 'Oldies' patronise this establishment - I do believe that QG is a fan of their Fish 'n' Chips. Pre Covid I was a regular for the monday night quiz. However I recently attended the 'Hemingway Look Alike Contest' and 'blow me away' I was awarded first prize. note to BBG - they do operate a 'Dress Code' !

That's what you get buying a cheap bike ! 55555
