Bhum Jai Thai bomber to serve 35 years in jail

The Criminal Court on Tuesday convicted and sentenced Anek Singkhunthod with a 35-year jail term for bombing the Bhum Jai Thai Party headquarters in 2010.

 

The court initially handed down a life prisonment before citing the defendant’s confession and guilty plea as grounds for leniency.
Anek, a fruit vendor, sustained serious injuries after accidentally triggering the home-made bomb he wired to the push-cart left in front of the party headquarters on Phaholyothin 43 Road.
The incident happened in the wake of the dispersal of red-shirt rallies.
