A police officer who was convicted of the torture-murder of a substance suspect, Thitisan” Joe Ferrari” Utthanaphon, a former police officer, committed suicide while he was being held in Bangkok’s Klong Prem Central Prison. According to an inquest report, the death was committed while he was a prisoner.
The Rights and Liberties Protection Department at the Ministry of Justice released a speech detailing the results on Saturday.
On March 7, Thitisan was found hanged in his body at the maximum safety facility. In 2021, he and five employees were found guilty of murdering a 24-year-old medicine believe by stuffing black plastic bags over his head at the Muang city police stop in Nakhon Sawan.
The office reviewed data from the Royal Thai Police, as well as autopsy reports from the Central Institute of Forensic Science and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. The Committee on the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance received a description as a result of its work as the committee’s committee.
Under Thitisan’s Adam’s apple, a knot mark ran diagonally towards the right ear and was about 1.2 centimeters broad and 14cm much.
No petechiae or petechiae, which are small, bleeding under the skin, were found. According to the autopsy report, the internal left upper arm had small abrasions, which were consistent with post-mortem mosquito bites.
Different cuts on his neck and back were thought to be between one and two weeks old.
He had high blood pressure medication medication, the sleep-inducing compound 7-Aminoclonazepam, a metabolite of clonazepam, and the opioid fluoxetine.
No indication of combat
No evidence of muscles bruising or physical assault were discovered beneath the neck mark. The lack of challenge and the ligature’s horizontal pattern suggested a self-inflicted hanging.
At 8:30 p.m. on March 7, prison officers received a notification of an inmate’s death. The prisoner was discovered sitting against his body door, according to a declaration from the Department of Corrections at the time. He had “bruised hands and no pulse.” He was tied to the mobile phone door with a handkerchief around his neck.
According to a summary of the inquest report, the official cause of death was asphyxiation caused by hanging.
According to the Rights and Liberties Protection Department, authorities are working on next steps and will be submitting the situation to a prosecutor.
Thitisan had already served 3 years and 6 months of his life statement at the prison’s Zone 5 at the time of his death.
After it was revealed that Thitisan was exceedingly rich, the highly publicized torture-murder situation gained even more popularity. Due to his extensive collection of expensive sports cars and a glamorous life, which included a palace in Bangkok, he was given the nickname” Joe Ferrari.”
