Contamination rules out confirmation of Yingluck’s DNA being found in Camry

Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s DNA cannot be confirmed as matching DNA traces found in the Toyota Camry that allegedly took her to Sa Kaew province during her flight from the country on August 23, Deputy National Police Chief Pol General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said on Monday.

He said the DNA traces found in the vehicle had been contaminated and could not be used to verify them against those collected from Yingluck’s personal belongings at her residence.

 

The police cannot therefore establish guilt against her driver, Pol Colonel Chairit Anurit of the Metropolitan Police, for malfeasance of duty under Article 157 of the Criminal Code, he added.

 

However, Chairit has already been charged with possessing fake licence plates found in the vehicle and is the subject of a disciplinary probe, Srivara said.

 

On August 23, Yingluck allegedly fled in the vehicle to Sa Kaeo province, where she then reportedly crossed the border.

She was subsequently found to have reached Dubai, from where she later travelled to the United Kingdom.

 

She failed to attend the scheduled August 25 reading of the Supreme Court verdict in the case against her relating to her government’s rice-pledging scheme.

 

The verdict, which was finally read on September 27, found the ex-PM guilty on some of the charges and she was sentenced in absentia to five years in jail, without any suspension of the sentence.

 

The police have since charged her for violation of immigration law, and have also asked Interpol to issue a red notice in order to assist in her arrest.

 

Thai authorities have also sought the cooperation of other countries to locate her exact whereabouts.

 

Yingluck is reportedly seeking asylum in the UK, France or Germany.

" DNA traces found in the vehicle had been contaminated "

 

How unfortunate, ha ha ha!!

[ukrules]

This is very 'convenient' for the government as the case can now be closed.

[mikebell]

So the driver will be fined 500 baht for having false plates and no further action is necessary - or desirable.

Wasn't the DNA for the Burmese two similarly 'contaminated' yet they were sentenced to death?

[LazySlipper]

Guess they used the same investigators as in the OJ case.

 

What did they find? A dog hair and mistook it for Yinglooks?

[ChrisY1]

The RTP are very adept at dealing with contaminated DNA......

But maybe in this case, the curly hairs found on the back seat could have been incriminating.

[Rimbuman]

The Koh Tao DNA experts at work again?

Can anyone add to what this law is?

Obviously, as a Thai citizen Yingluck was not an immigrant. While her secretive departure may have violated some civil law such as evasion (?), I wouldn't expect her departure to violate any immigration law.

Please stop the charade - enough already. Only the most naive or fanatic still don't understand what actually took place.

I think its because she wasn't stamped out of the country by the immigration department.

 

For some reason Thais get a stamp in their pasport when they leave their own country.

Get real ...Who cares how she left the country  .Her departure was the best result for the present administration and if you think they are really trying to bring her back ask what would they achieve by bringing her back via Interpol .

That may be a regulation (ie., bureaucratic process) rather than the law.

New laws to target the Shins are being made (up) on a regular basis. Perhaps this is one we have all missed.

[Nbarch]

I thought using contaminated evidence was admissible; ….oh Yingluck is not Burmese.

[rodney earl]

Why doesn't that surprise me.!!

For the  2 Burmese from koh tsao the dna had to be tested in Singapore because the Thai can't take those tests...
