The superintendent of Rattanathibet Police Station admitted to not knowing "Suea Dusit." Who he is or how influential he might be is irrelevant; if he breaks the law, he will be arrested and prosecuted. Currently, prosecutors are gathering evidence to request an arrest warrant from the Nonthaburi Provincial Court.
Regarding the case where Ms. Pemika Khwonsamakom, 26, daughter of Mr. Thanapon Wekawakyannon, 53, who was severely injured, came with lawyer Waiakara Pinthong to seek assistance from Poramet Chaipatchrakulpong, or "Dr. Kaew," the founder of the "Dr. Kaew Can Help" page, before filing a complaint with Police Sub-Lieutenant Peerawit Srisamran, deputy investigation officer at Rattanathibet Police Station, to press charges against Mr. Samrit Rimthuean, known as "Suea Dusit," and two other accomplices after they violently assaulted Mr. Thanapon, causing 12 broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a coma. The incident occurred at about 4:30 a.m. on 18 Feb 2026, in front of the restroom inside a popular restaurant near Sanam Bin Nam, along Nonthaburi Bypass Road, Mueang District, Nonthaburi Province. Surveillance cameras clearly recorded the event, as previously reported.
The latest update on 25 February 2026, Police Colonel Phrut Chamruensat, superintendent of Rattanathibet Police Station, stated that he does not know who Suea Dusit is or how influential he may be, but if anyone violates the law in his jurisdiction, they will be arrested and prosecuted. Initially, the incident appears to involve joint charges of assault causing grievous bodily harm, given the severity of the victim's injuries. However, they await the results of the autopsy report, which officers are requesting from the treating physician, who is still providing medical care.
Preliminarily, the investigative team has identified three male suspects responsible for assaulting Mr. Thanapon, causing serious injury: 1. Mr. Samrit Rimthuean, aka Suea Dusit; 2. Mr. Maitri Saengrit, 28; and 3. Mr. Anon Jansorn, 36.
The reporter asked the superintendent of Rattanathibet Police Station about Suea Dusit's declaration that he "is not afraid of the Nonthaburi police" and how the police would respond. Police Colonel Phrut Chamruensat replied, "The first question is, who is Suea Dusit? I do not know him. Influence does not matter; if someone breaks the law, they will all face charges."
According to reports, police are currently gathering evidence to request an arrest warrant from the Nonthaburi Provincial Court on charges of jointly causing grievous bodily harm, carrying a penalty exceeding five years, without issuing summonses.
