A Bangkok court found Thitisan Utthanaphon, a cop nicknamed  “Joe Ferrari” for his taste in fast cars, guilty of murder by torture in a case that caused public outrage and shone a rare light on police brutality and corruption in the kingdom, and was sentenced to be jailed for life on Wednesday

Leaked viral footage showed Thitisan and six other officers wrapping seven plastic bags around 24-year-old Jirapong Thanapat’s head while questioning him and trying to extort $60,000, leading to his death
