Lab test results in case against ‘Sek Leso’ to be made public on Wednesday: police
The investigation in the case involving controversial rock star Seksan Sukphimai – or “Sek Loso” – continues, with police stating on Tuesday that the final results of his urine test will be made known tomorrow.
Seksan, who was brought to Phrom Kiri police station in Nakhon Si Thammarat to face charges of discharging a firearm in public and illegally possessing an unregistered gun, is reported to be calm following his arrest last Friday, while his private lawyer Mongkolwijit Tanasophol has prepared the sum of Bt150,000 for bailing him at Nakhon Si Thammarat Court.
The singer has been charged on four counts: possessing an illegal gun and ammunition, carrying a gun in public without a justifiable reason, shooting in public without justifiable reason, and resisting a police operation.
Pol Colonel Sing Singhadet, police superintendent for Khan Na Yao district in Bangkok, disclosed in an update of the investigation that the forensic team of Police General Hospital would conclude the laboratory examination of Seksan’s urine sample today, which would clearly show whether or not the positive result of his initial test for narcotics was from methamphetamine consumption.
His urine sample turned purple in the preliminary narcotics test, but Seksan insisted that he had only consumed sleeping pills.
However, Sing said that neither sleeping pills nor narcotics had been found during a search of the rock star’s house.
The superintendent also said that a person had made an ownership claim to the police on the gun that Seksan had used during the police raid at his house, but the police did not believe the claim and were still investigating the weapon’s ownership.
Sing also did not confirm a report that a person had been injured in the random shooting by Seksan on Friday in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
In a separate case, Pak Chong district police in Nakhon Ratchasima arrested Anucha Sukkaew, a 24-year-old man who was seen shooting a gun skywards on Facebook live, and charged him with discharging a firearm in public and illegally possessing an unregistered gun.
Anucha confessed that he used his father’s gun to shoot four times into the sky by way of celebration during a countdown party on New Year’s Eve.
His sister recorded the act on Facebook live, with the video later going viral on social media – and now being used as evidence of his alleged crime.
