The latest update:
The Pattaya City Police Chief Colonel Kunlachart Kunlachai told the associated Thai media this week, “We have concluded checking CCTV footage at the pool villa on Pratumnak where the incident took place.”
“The parents (whose names continue to be withheld by law enforcement) were cooking food, socializing, and BBQing with a group of models and other people near the pool when the incident took place. The father had previously said he was at the villa for a photoshoot with the models, which was seen in the footage as well. The boy dropped into the swimming pool for about one minute before his father noticed and helped pull him out of the water.” Col. Kunlachart stated.
“We have collected all evidence at this time and have some questions regarding why it took so long to notice the child was drowning and had fallen into the pool, even with many people nearby. The parents are going to be questioned after their son’s funeral for further potential legal action.” Col. Kunlachart added.
