A police officer convicted of a video of the torture of the virus was found dead in prison

Former Thai police chief who was in prison three years ago for the torture of drug suspects to death, he was found dead at his Bangkok prison cell, the authorities said.

Thititis Utthanaphon, who for his many luxury cars was nicknamed Joe Ferrari, died with suicide, according to preliminary autopsy.

In 2021. The missed video showed that Thitis and his colleagues wrapped plastic bags around the head of a 24-year-old drug suspect during the test, which led to the death of the suspect.

The video at the time caused national anger due to police brutality in Thailand. On social networks, he made fresh rounds due to the death of Thititis.

The Thai Ministry of Justice called for an investigation into his death after his family expressed his suspicion that he had killed himself. Further examinations will be done to confirm that he has indeed died in suicide.

The family said Thitisant had previously attacked a prison officer. They said that officers did not allow them to see his body, which was found in his cell on Friday.

But on Sunday, the authorities said that “no prison officer or prisoner has harmed or applied [his] death”.

The previous attack on Thitisata House revealed that he had owned a dozen luxury sports scales. Authorities believe that he owned at least 42 years, one of which is a rare Lamborghini Aventador Bonniversario, made only 100, and was appreciated in Thailand with $ 47 million ($ 1.45 million; 1.05 million pounds).

As a police colonel, about $ 1,000 a month was paid the Titisat.

There were accusations of requesting a bribe in a viral video from the suspect, Jirapong Thanapat, while suffocating him. Thitisat denied it.

In addition to the Titisant, five other police officers were convicted of killing Jirapong, and was also sentenced to life in prison in 2022.

The repair ministry announced that he was investigating the previous appeal submitted by the Thitisata family claiming that prison officers had been harassed and attacked earlier this year.

Thititis consulted doctors because of anxiety problems and sleep problems, the department said.

The family visited him on the day he died, and the prison staff did not notice any “irregularities,” the statement said.
