'Mor Yong' back in his army detention cell

Celebrity fortune-teller Suriyan Sujaritpolwong, a suspect in a high-profile lese majeste case, has returned to his detention room after being treated for high blood pressure, Corrections Department head Vitaya Suriyawong said yesterday.

Suriyan, better known as Mor Yong, had received medication and was sent back to his room at the temporary detention facility at the 11th Military Circle on Friday evening, the official said.
The fortune-teller, 53, was arrested along with his secretary Jirawong Wattanathewasilp and police officer Major Prakrom Warunprapa for allegedly citing the monarchy to make personal gains. Prakrom later was found dead after allegedly hanging himself inside his detention cell.
“Mor Yong has some chronic illness. When he got stressed, his blood pressure increased,” the Corrections Department chief said yesterday, adding that his doctor would judge his condition and decide whether Suriyan should be sent to the department’s hospital for treatment.
