Police General Hospital doctor Supat Laohawattana will be dismissed from the hospital after he was arrested and accused of murdering at least four people, hospital director Jongjate Aojanepong said Sunday.

Disc. 1 - Difficult to envision but easy to find as in the 3 convicted killer police were let out on bail even though facing the death sentence. By the way, we haven't heard about them lately, have they been executed or have they executed a change of identity?

The problem will be if the corpses get together and hold a protest the police will stop working and do no more.

I used to live in this village. The police has known for years what went on but they do not like to prosecute their own. If not for some media outside Petchaburi this case would have never gone anywhere. The hospital will be sacking him before he is even found guilty? That is pretty strange or what? The doctor will be on bail soon, rest assured. This police station and its officers is as rotten as can be, it is the same station that 8 months ago charged animal protectors with illegal wildlife possession without giving them a chance to provide evidence...
Charity workers are charged within 3 hours while a murderer walks for 3 years just because he is a police officer, indeed a pathetic system....

If released on bail, I would expect him to go after the workers from Myanmar and force them to change their stories or dispose of them somehow. In any event, if he goes to prison, he'll be out after a year after paying money. After all, he is a policeman.

Sadly, since 3 convicted killer cops were allowed to be released on bail . . . where are they now? It’s pretty certain that since this guy as a cop, we will walk. What a pathetic and sick system. Sure is nothing even remotely resembling 'justice' in the Thai so-called legal system.

Danger to society is one of the few legitimate reasons to deny bail to the accused, and it would be difficult to envision a case in which that reason was more applicable than this one.
