Prison guard, ‘cobra’ MP, murder suspect: The extraordinary life of Chalong Riewrang

11 Sept 22:10Key points summarised by AI

Former three-time MP Chalong Riewrang confessed to fatally shooting Nonthaburi PAO chief Thongchai Yenprasert over an alleged 11 million baht debt, a claim disputed by the victim's family.
Security footage contradicted Chalong's self-defense claim, showing him concealing a pistol before the daylight attack; police faced public criticism for granting him unusual privileges during his arrest.
Chalong's life journey spans from a prison guard to an influential 'cobra' MP known for political defections and party changes, now remanded in the same Nonthaburi Prison where he once worked, charged with premeditated murder.

Deputy Interior Minister Polapee Suwunchwee led raids on two suspected gambling dens in Muang district, resulting in arrests and the confiscation of cash and equipment.
