Play
POLICE have formed four teams to reinvestigate the death of a construction magnate after his family claimed his car crash was not accidental.
Chuwong Sae Tang, 50, a wealthy contractor, appeared to have been killed in a car accident on Chalerm Phrakiat Soi 48-50 in Prawet district on June 26 after playing golf at Lakewood Country Club on Bang Na-Trat Road.
Pol Lt-Colonel Banyin Tangpa-korn, a former Nakhon Sawan MP and deputy commerce minister, was driving him home when the car allegedly ran off the road into a tree.
Police concluded Chuwong’s death was accidental but his family petitioned the National Police chief to reopen the case.
A first team will interview Chuwong’s wife and driver today and a second team will question car experts. The third team will meet to study the case and a fourth will seek evidence at the golf course.
Police have checked security cameras from five different sites and found that Banyin left the golf club at about 9pm and did not stop the car anywhere. They will also ask the country club for the exact time Banyin left.
