Thai elephant dodges murder charges

Thai elephant dodges murder charges

Dealing with the misbehaviour of your wayward offspring is possibly the most troubling aspect of being a Thai politician. When your son casually murders an innocent passer-by, the dilemma is whether or not you should use your political influence to help him escape punishment.

Now it seems that the rot has spread to over-privileged domestic animals. On Wednesday, a 20-year old bull elephant belonging to MP Chai Chidchob trampled his handler to death during an argument about females.

Eyewitnesses report that he was behaving inappropriately in front of two cow elephants when mahout Thai Yamdee, 40, tried to have a quiet word in his huge ear. Forgetting his manners, the pissed-off pachyderm stomped him. It was a crime of passion.
