The court has scheduled the verdict for June 11, 2026, at the South Bangkok Criminal Court.<br /><br />A deadly attack in central Bangkok<br />The bombing took place at about 6.55pm on August 17, 2015, at the Erawan Shrine near Ratchaprasong intersection, one of Bangkok’s busiest commercial and tourist areas.<br /><br /><a href='https://pictr.com/image/xOsiv6' target='_blank'><img src='https://pictr.com/images/2026/06/11/xOsiv6.md.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /></a><br />The blast killed 20 people, including foreign visitors and Thai nationals, and injured more than 160 others.<br /><br />Police alleged that Karadag placed a backpack containing the explosive device at the shrine before leaving the area, while Yusufu was accused of assembling the device, procuring equipment and helping deliver it. Both men were later taken by police for a crime-scene re-enactment before authorities announced the case in September 2015.<br /><br />From military court to civilian court<br />The long delay was shaped largely by the legal route the case took.<br /><br />Because the bombing occurred during the National Council for Peace and Order era, the case initially fell under the jurisdiction of the Bangkok Military Court. iLaw reported that the case was handled by the military court because it involved offences linked to weapons and explosives under an NCPO order.<br /><br />www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40067259<br /> Mech-warri0r Kopitiam Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:10:09 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5564314 [Reddit]/r/Bolehland/comments/1tadvu5/manhunt_underway_for_suspect_after_assaulting/[/Reddit] Mech-warri0r Kopitiam Tue, 12 May 2026 08:03:50 +0800
