NAKHON SI THAMMARAT- A warrant has been approved for the arrest of a second prison warden in connection with the Oct. 22 release of prisoner Chaowalit Thongduang, also known as” Sia Paeng Nanod ,” from custody.

Weerachai Nuduang’s collar warrant was approved on Friday evening by the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases. He is currently incarcerated at Nakhon Si Thammarat Central Prison. He was accused of dereliction of duty under Criminal Court Section 157.

Weerachai reportedly changed Chaowalit’s fetters the day before his hospital escape, and fellow wardens were keeping a close eye on him for it. Second sheriff facing an arrest warrant was him. In addition, & nbsp,

Warinthorn Thongprachong, 41, and Ekkalak Chaiyakarn, 35, two prison jailers on charges of dereliction of duty related to Chaowalit’s escape, had formerly had arrest warrants approved by the court.

On October 22, Chaowalit, 37, who was incarcerated for attempted murder, escaped from Maharat Nakhon Si Thammarat.

After being taken to the hospital for medical treatment, the prisoner was later admitted after collapsing and complaining of excruciating leg pain. He’s still out there.

According to a cause, Warinthorn and Ekkalak approached Pol Maj Gen Somchai Suetongtrakul, the police chief of Nakhon Si Thammarat, on Saturday morning to request his retreat. Weerachai even made a police report about his resignation.

The seven offenders who were sought for aiding Chaowalit’s leave have all been taken into custody.

For attempted murder in connection with an equipped attack on police during an attempted suicide on September 2, 2019, Chaowalit was given a 20-year, six-month prison term by the Phatthalung Provincial Court next year.

In January 2022, he started serving his sentence at Phatthalung Prison, and on August 7 of this year, it was transferred to Nakhon Si Thammarat Prison.

Numerous other legal costs are also brought against the fugitive.
