Supreme Court upholds death sentence against Maj Chalermchai
The Supreme Court Friday upheld the lower courts' guilty convict and death
sentence against Maj Chalermchai Majchaklam for murdering a Yasothon
governor in 2001.
The court upheld the rulings of the lower courts that Chalermchai, alias
Major Tueng, and 2 accomplices - Sgt Manit Srisa-ard and Sgt Suwat
Kham-ngao, murdered Prina Lepattana, then Yasothon governor, on March 4
2001.
The murder took place inside the Royal Pacific Hotel on Rama IX Road.
The court said the 3 checked in into a room close to the slain governor
and there were evidences to believe that the 3 attacked the governor by
stabbing his neck and shooting him at his head.
Pisarn Wibulsilp, the lawyer of Chalermchai, said Chalermchai would plea
for leniency from the Corrections Department due to his military service.
