A grieving mother delivered a strong message to Bangkok police officials by bringing the dead body of her 22-year-old son to the Metropolitan Police Bureau to demand justice.
43-year-old Somjai Phothong along with her relatives demanded the incarceration of her son’s killers and called on National police chief Adul Seangsingkaew to intervene on the investigation. She said it has been a week since she has filed the case with Phra Khanong police, but until now, no arrests have been made.
Duangden Phothong, 22, was reportedly beaten to death by bouncers from a Kae Dum nightclub in Sri Nakarin area on October 20. The mother claims that all her son did to spark the beating was accidentally drop a glass on the club’s floor.
The club is still in operation.
For his part, Pol Gen Adul instructed deputy metropolitan police chief Pol Maj Gen Thitirat Nongharnpitak, to investigate the case. The police chief is confident that the murderers would be arrested soon, the Bangkok Post reported.
