Jakkrit's wife to be questioned over bank safe deposit box
Play
Police plan to summon Dr Nithiwadee Phucharoenyos, the wife of murdered sportsman Jakkrit Panichpatikum, to interrogate her over a complaint her late husband filed before his murder, claiming that she had stolen valuables from his safety deposit at Kasiko
Police investigator Pol Lt-Colonel Isara Na Phatthalung said Jakkrit’s father, Manop, who has taken his son’s place as plaintiff in the case, met police officers on Tuesday and agreed to provide more details about the Bt60 million in valuables – mostly Buddha amulets – that had disappeared from the safe-deposit. Police will then summon Nithiwadee for further questioning, Isara explained.
Case investigator Pol Lieutenant Marut Panditto said Manop and a lawyer, who had accompanied Jakkrit to make the initial complaint, were scheduled to meet with police on Monday.
Marut said the court had to first appoint Manop as Jakkrit’s “heritage manager” so he could become a plaintiff. He said this was possible because Manop is Jakkrit’s father and can later claim compensation on his son’s behalf.
