Heir on the run

BANGKOK: Thailand has revoked the passport of an heir to the Red Bull fortune who has been accused of a deadly hitand-run but has several times failed to turn up in court.

Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, 32, left Thailand for Singapore on April 25, two days before he had been ordered to report to prosecutors to be formally charged in court.

He faces charges of speeding, hit-and-run and reckless driving causing death over an incident in 2012.
