Two New Zealand brothers remain behind bars after appearing in a Phuket court, after a scuffle with a Thai police officer earlier in the week.
Hamish and Oscar Day have been charged with multiple offences including robbery, assaulting an officer, attempted bribery and driving a motorcycle without a licence.
The brothers were allegedly speeding and fled from the police officer on Saturday. The officer was later tackled by one of the brothers and a gun was wrestled off him, causing a bullet to be fired. Nobody was injured.
Phuket News journalist JP Mestanza told RNZ Checkpoint today the two brothers appeared in court on Monday but it was just a formality.
