A Thai court sentences former police chief Thitisan Utthanaphon, nicknamed 'Jo Ferrari' for his extravagant collection of luxury cars, to life in prison over his part in the torture and killing of a drug suspect.
A seventh officer not in the room during the assault was sentenced to prison for five years and four months for abuse of power and extortion.
However, Thitisan then demanded double that amount and ordered his subordinates to cover Mr Jeerapong's head with the plastic bag and beat him until he agreed, said the junior policeman. They included a mansion valued at $2.3 million and 24 cars valued at $2.8 million. Media reports said the vehicles had been acquired under suspicious circumstances.
