NAKHON SI THAMMARAT: In connection with the nearly two-week-old prisoner’s exit from a doctor in this southwestern province, two prison rangers are being detained for neglect of duty.

According to a policeman cause, the Muang city police stop in Nakhon Si Thammarat requested arrest warrants for Warinthorn Thongprachong, 41, and Ekkalak Chaiyakarn, 35, which were approved by the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases.

On October 22, Chaowalit Thongduang, who was incarcerated for attempted murder, escaped from a doctor in Nakhon Si Thammarat. He had been escorted there by the two wardens, according to Pol Lt. Col. Charu Phetpan, the Muang police station’s lieutenant research chief.

Chaowalit, 37, also known as” Sia Paeng Na Nod,” had been admitted to the hospital for medical treatment after collapsing and complaining of excruciating knee pain. He’s still out there.

According to a cause, the two jailers who had been assigned to the Department of Corrections were aware of the imprisonment permits and would likely be turned over to officers shortly.

The two men would probably be used as scapegoats, according to another prison governor who declined to be identified, while the actual offender who planned the escape did go unpunished.

The two accused wardens’ dismissal from government services would be equivalent to serving arrest permits, he continued.

The fetters and handcuffs that were to be worn on Chaowalit, according to the governor, were changed during the day before the two warDENs started working their night change.

The governor claimed that Chaowalit’s alleged genius who ordered the pair to carry out their duty at night and the supposedly changed fetters for them had not been impacted.

Sutiwas Khunnarong, 28, a Chaowalit secretary, was previously detained in Ratchaburi for aiding the prisoner’s leave and operating the getaway vehicle. In a rocky region of Phatthalung, he abandoned Chaowalit, and the slave hasn’t been seen since.

Authorities showed him how he assisted the slave in escaping on Thursday by taking him to Maharat Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital.

A top prison established arrived at the Muang police station shortly before the reenactment to give the police shackles and handcuffs as proof. He informed the soldiers that Chaowalit and his coworkers had unsuccessfully attempted to cut the fetters at night between October 20 and October 21.

According to a source, one prison warden after changed the fetters during the day, allowing the prisoner to leave the next day.

Chaowalit’s leak was aided by seven suspects, all of whom have been detained.

The Phatthalung Provincial Court gave Chaowalit a 20-year, six-month prison term last year for attempted murder in connection with an armed assault on officers that occurred during an attempted kidnapping on September 2, 2019.

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 fees are likewise brought against him.
