Killer doctor Wisut freed from jail
Bang Khwang prison chief Ayut Sinthopphan said Wisut was freed on parole Monday, one of 14 inmates on conditional release. A parole application by Wisut was submitted to the Corrections Department. It was approved by a department committee and the Justice Ministry, leading to his release.
Wisut was originally given death but had his sentence cut on many occasions under a royal pardon because he performed good deeds by providing treatment to sick inmates, until he had less than five years left to serve. He has to report to the Department of Probation until his term ends on Sept 24, 2017.
Wisut's death sentence, passed in 2003, was based on forensic evidence that he killed his wife Dr Phasssaporn. Her remains were flushed down the toilet at a Chulalongkorn University dormitory and at Sofitel Central Hotel in Lat Phrao on Feb 20-21, 2001.
The death penalty was later upheld by higher courts, but Wisut filed a petition seeking a royal pardon.
The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment at the end of 2007 to mark the 80th birthday celebration of His Majesty the King.
