About 50 locals gathered at the scene and demanded that the arresting officers be held responsible for what they did. According to relatives of the victim, an officer first stopped 20-year-old Asadawuth Angkara and tested him for drugs. Thalang District Chief Vikrom Jakthee then went to negotiate with the group and advised them to file a formal complaint if they felt that injustice had been done. “Contrary to what the protesters claimed, officers at the scene told me that they were taking the two suspects to the district office when their relatives blocked the way. The protesters claimed that they had an incriminating video clip which they would present as part of the evidence against the arresting officers.
