A well-known fortune teller accused under the lèse majesté law of making false claims about the monarchy for personal benefit has died in custody.

Gen Paiboon Kumchaya, the Minister of Justice, on Monday, 9 November 2015, announced that Suriyan Sucharitpolwong, aka Mo Yong, a well-known fortune-teller, died in custody at the remand facility in the 11th Army Division in Nakhon Pathom Province, west of Bangkok.

The Justice Minister said that he was sent to a prison hospital after suffering serious health problems and died on Friday, 6 November 2015.

The Minister further told the media that an autopsy conducted jointly by the Corrections Department, police, military, and doctors concluded that the late fortune teller died from septicaemia. 

The fortune teller’s death comes shortly after Pol Maj Prakrom W., an inspector in the Technology Crime Suppression Division charged in the same case, reportedly committed suicide by hanging on 23 October 2015.

Suriyan, Prakrom, and Jirawong W., Suriyan’s close associate, were detained on 21 October 2015.

The three were accused by the Thai military under Article 112 of the Criminal Code, the lèse majesté law, for making false claims about the Thai monarchy in order to solicit money from major business operators while taking part in organising ‘Bike for Mom’, a cycling event to honour HM the Queen on 16 August 2015 and an upcoming event ‘Bike for Dad’, a similar event for HM the King in December.

On Sunday, the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) legal division filed a lèse majesté complaint against Col Kotchachat Boondee for involvement in the same case as the late fortune teller.

The Colonel has reportedly fled to Myanmar.

On 16 October 2015, Naewna News Online, reported a rumour that Suriyan had been arrested at his house by police officers on allegations of violating Article 112 of the Criminal Code, the lèse majesté law. There were rumours that he was being held incommunicado by the military as he had disappeared from public view.

As expected, Mor Yong or Suriyan Sujaritpalawong has died while in military custody. We say “expected” because his death was anticipated from the time that Police Major Prakrom Warunprapha, caught up in this latest lese majeste purge, died while in military custody, with the military junta claiming he committed suicide by hanging himself.

Update 1: The Nation reports that “Justice” Minister General Paiboon Koomchaya waited until Monday to announce Suriyan’s death, apparently late on Friday 6 November. He is said to have died at the prison hospital of “septicemia.” As with the death of Prakrom, a hasty autopsy has already been conducted. We suspect murder.

Update 2: The Bangkok Post reports that Vittaya Suriyawong, the director-general of the Corrections Department, issued a statement on the circumstances of Suriyan’s death.

The statement said at 9pm on Saturday guards on duty at the temporary prison at the 11th Military Circle in Bangkok where Suriyan was detained found him lying in his cell with laboured breathing….

By the time they took him to the Corrections Department hospital in Chatuchak district at 10.20pm, he did not respond and his pulse could not be detected. His pupils dilated by 4mm and did not respond to light.

Readers will recall that the same director dismissed earlier reports that Suriyan was ill. He said he was faking it.

The statement declares that:

The Institute of Forensic Medicine under the Police General Hospital, having performed an autopsy on him, established on Sunday the cause of death was “respiratory and blood circulation failures due to bloodstream infection…”.

The director states that Suriyan was already sick for two days: “he had high fever, coughed and was agitated on Thursday and Friday. The military medical unit gave him some pills and told him to rest before the guards found him unconscious.”

“Some pills”? Perhaps he was poisoned? Perhaps tortured? We will probably never know. What we do know is that his claims of military involvement in his case was exceptionally embarrassing and threatening for the junta. Who wanted him dead?

The rest of the report seems full of claims that seem unlikely to ever be verified:

“Doctors said some air-borne viruses could cause an acute respiratory failure and high-risk patients are the elderly, diabetic people and persons on steroid.

“In Suriyan’s case, it’s possible his immune system was weak as indicated by the Oct 22 x-ray results, which showed he had a fatty liver,” Mr Vittaya explained….

“Our assumption is he was infected by a germ that caused bloodstream infection and this led to the respiratory failure and quick death,” Mr Vittaya said.

Suriyan’s death has been expected, but now that it has happened suggests that the damage he was doing or might have done outweighed the risk of getting rid of him. We are guessing, but so is every other commentator. The military dictatorship will try to prevent speculation and cover up.

Hej

I dagens Prachatai uppger man att ytterligare en av dom tre personer som greps för LM-brott nu har dött, den här gången är det den välkände och populäre spåmannen Suriyan Sucharitpolwong (aka Mo Yong) som sades kunna se in i framtiden som har dött i militär fångenskap sedan han greps den 16 oktober, anledningen till hans död sägs vara hälsoskäl.

Sedan tidigare har redan polisen Maj. Prakrom dött av hängning i militärens förvar, nu är alltså bara en av dom gripna kvar i livet.

Fortune teller accused of lèse majesté dies in custody

Han måste varit en helvetes dålig spåman i alla fall! Hade han varit begåvad med ett enda uns av förmåga att förutse resultatet av hans egna handlingar borde han väl kunnat undvika att alla dessa saker skulle drabba honom. Jag drar följaktligen slutsatsen att karlen var en charlatan och bondfångare. Han kanske fått undermålig yrkesvägledning på ett tidigt stadium i sitt liv?

Huruvida det skulle vara något mysko med hans död verkar det inte finnas tillräckliga fakta för att konstatera, vilket väl i princip är vad det citerade blogginlägget också skriver. Att det går att misstänka elakt spel är väl närmast självklart, men i övrigt ser i alla fall inte jag något annat än spekulationer. Fast många "vet" nog redan precis vad som hänt. Det vimlar ju av spåmän i Thailand, så det är väl inte så konstigt, i och för sig...

Hej

I dagens Bangkok Post framförs misstro mot dödsfallen som har drabbat dom gripna i militärt förvar, dessutom framgår det att ytterligare en inblandad har dött redan innan han greps, det var Pol Col Akrawut Limrat som tog livet av sig genom att hoppa ifrån en byggnad, sen tar skribenten upp det faktum att både den polis som hängde sig och den som hoppade kremerades så fort att inga traditionella religiösa ceremonier hann hållas, vilket också väcker misstankar.

Vad man än tror om detta så kan man åtminstone konstatera att 3 av dom inblandade nu är döda och att 2 av dessa kremerades så fort att inga vanliga religiösa ceremonier hann hållas.

Mor Yong's death breeds mistrust

 11 Nov 2015 at 04:30

Authorities can say whatever they want about the cause of Mor Yong's death. But they cannot expect people to believe it. There is no need trying to get frank opinions from people face to face, however .No one speaks their minds with strangers anymore; it has become too dangerous.

Suriyan "Mor Yong" Sucharitpolwong may be guilty in the eyes of many, but we cannot deny that his life and death mirror the state and psyche of our society.

Honestly, I never paid attention to the late fortune-teller and spirit medium when he was alive, despite his fame.

Lese majeste suspect Pol Col Akrawut Limrat killed himself by jumping off a building. His body was immediately cremated without any traditional religious ceremony. Pol Maj Prakom Warunprapa was found hanging in his prison cell -- a suicide, said authorities. He was also cremated immediately.

Finner det dock lite märkligt att man inte har kameror i cellen, det har man ju överallt annars i landet.

Har ganska svårt att se vad en obduktion av Akrawat skulle ge-så vida han inte hade en GoPro kamera i en sele runt bröstet när han hoppade/kastades ut. Blodprovet kan ju förstås visa spår av Yaabaa och liknande men det kan han ju stoppat i sig själv också?

Att bli påkommen med att pressa pengar från folk och företag och förskingra runt ett stort och PR mässigt välkänt kungligt välgörenhetsprojekt är förmodligen det ultimata "Loose face" du kan uppnå i Thailand och jag är mer inne på att Akrawat har begått Seppuku för at slippa förnedras.

Finner det dock lite märkligt att man inte har kameror i cellen, det har man ju överallt annars i landet.

 

Frågetecken finns och det alla undrar nu är väl om den siste som är kvar i livet av dessa också kommer att hinna dö innan en rättegång?

Eller om han förstått nu "vilken sanning" som ska komma fram vid rättegången...
