Red Bull executive's son to face arraignment May 8
Play
The Southern Bangkok Criminal Court has set 10am on May 8 to arraign Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 28, the son of a senior Red Bull executive, on three charges involving the crash of his Ferrari into a motorcycle that killed the policeman driving it.
Reucha Kraireuk, a member of the public prosecutors’ office attached to the court, said Thursday that police investigators had sought to indict Vorayuth for manslaughter and hit-and-run but dropped the charges of speeding and driving under the influence.
However, prosecutors reinstated the speeding charge because security-camera footage allegedly showed the Ferrari racing at 170 kilometres per hour on Sukhumvit Road.
The three charges were presented to the court’s attorney-general Seksan Bangsomboon for consideration.
