Bangkok, The commander of the Metropolitan Police Bureau Division 9 confirmed that he will provide full compensation and care to the family of Pol. Lt. Col. Kittichanom after he died while on duty. Meanwhile, his subordinates recounted the moment of the incident before admitting that they were sorry for the tragic incident because their commander was a very good boss. Pol Maj Gen Prasong Anmanee, Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 9, revealed that the death of Pol Lt Col Kittichan Chanyarom, Deputy Superintendent of Prevention and Suppression at Tha Kham Police Station, was a case of death while on duty. This department confirmed that it will take full care of it, with the welfare of the Royal Thai Police, the Metropolitan Police Bureau, and the Metropolitan Police Division 9 coming in to take care of it. While the details have not been finalized and are under investigation, yesterday's incident, Pol. Lt. Col. Kittichanom traveled to stop the incident himself, along with Pol. Sgt. Chaiwat. When they first arrived, they found the perpetrator and his two children inside the house. The relatives asked for help, and the police tried to get inside the house to surround the perpetrator, but during that time, the perpetrator's children ran out the front door, causing the police officers to be shot. It is not known whether the perpetrator intended to shoot or not. Pol. Lt. Col. Kittichanom is reported to be retiring in 2025. From the information, it was found that he is a hard worker and often stops major incidents himself. For the body of Pol. Lt. Col. Kittichan, today the forensic officers will perform an autopsy to find the exact cause of death before taking the body to Wat Yang Sutharam for religious rites tomorrow. Police officers have now questioned six people, including the perpetrator's wife and five of his children. They found that all of them were under stress. The police are considering Hia Tung's death as a suicide because when they inspected the scene, they found that the blood had dried. However, they must wait for the results of the forensic evidence from Siriraj Hospital. The news team then asked Pol. Lt. Col. Mongkol Sangkham, Crime Prevention and Suppression Inspector at Tha Kham Police Station, a subordinate of Pol. Lt. Col. Kittichan Chanyarom, or Deputy Rang, Deputy Superintendent of Crime Prevention and Suppression at Tha Kham Police Station who died, who said that he and Deputy Rang had been notified of the incident and had come to help. When they arrived, they tried to help the hostages and when they saw the moment when Deputy Rang was about to charge, they immediately ran in. However, at the same moment the hostages ran out, causing Hi-Tung to shoot continuously, causing the bullets to hit Deputy Rang. At that moment, he saw this and quickly used his shield to protect himself and quickly dragged Deputy Rang's body out of the house and immediately called an ambulance. When asked if Deputy Rang was conscious at the time, he admitted that he really did not know because the incident happened so quickly and he only wanted to help his commanding officer. Pol. Lt. Col. Mongkol thought that the perpetrator intended to shoot and kill his commanding officer. As a subordinate, he was very sad. The deputy was a very good person, a good commanding officer who did not speak rudely to his subordinates. Ask any police officer and they will say that Deputy Rang was a very good person. When asked if he was demoralized by the incident, he confirmed that he was not, because the police have a duty to serve the people. When asked about Deputy Rang's family, he said that he has a son who is a police officer, "rank of Police Lieutenant", who is a deputy inspector at a police station in Samut Prakan Province. There is information that about a month ago, Deputy Rang's mother also passed away. Source: Thai News Agency
