Dead cadet’s family vows to bring all relevant people to court for trial

 

 

The family of the dead cadet student Pakapong Tanyakan yesterday vowed to bring all relevant people for trial in the court after forensic autopsy result indicated the victim had several bruises from assaults.

 

The move for court action came after the Justice Ministry’s Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) sent the autopsy result to the cadet student’s family yesterday.

 

It said several bruises were believed to be caused by assaults. Beside the broken fourth rip bone was not caused from cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as earlier believed.

You can only have a semi investigation after the 2018  2019 2020 2021 2030 elections. Not before.

overly high expectations; won't happen with military in power;

simple intimidation will scuttle this effort, sadly

[yellowboat]

Prawit is on record shrugging off the death by saying brutality is part of being a cadet.  It is sad to see where Thailand is going.

[connda]

I wish them the best.  Hopefully justice will prevail against an institution that is known to protect itself from all accusations of impropriety.

I can remember another Thai family who vowed to bring the Mercedes driver (gnome Plop) to Justice and get him sentenced to jail...

I can remember a high ranked police officer vowing to bring the Ferrari driver to justice ...

All empty vows as soon as the brown envelopes start changing hands.

Now there's a surprise.

[farcanell]

Vowing to bring people to justice, when the cause is still unknown, seems a bit premature.

Cadet’s family determined to fight on as funeral held

By THE NATION

 

Supicha Tanyakan holds a framed photo of her younger brother Pakhapong “Meay” Tanyakan, a first-year cadet who mysteriously died at the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School in October, during his cremation at a temple in Chon Buri province.

 

THE FAMILY of deceased cadet Phakhapong “Meay” Tanyakan has pledged to continue their quest for truth about his mysterious death, after they finally conducted simple and sorrowful cremation rites for him in Chon Buri’s Sri Racha district yesterday afternoon.

Only people close to the family attended the ritual, which was held at Wat Wiwekkaram in Tambon Bang Phra at 3.30pm. 

 

 

Phakhapong’s mother Sukanya Tanyakan said the family was still worried about news reports about Phakhapong’s death. Some reports had presented incorrect information, she said, citing the example that her son’s fourth rib was broken – not four ribs as had been reported. 

 

She declined to give further information about the case as she wished the family could complete all the religious rituals for him first. “Our family still wants to know the whole truth about what happened,” she said.

 

 

Phakhapong’s elder sister Supicha was grieving and refused to give any comment during the funeral, while his father Pichet said he still could not cope with the loss. 

 

“Since the day it happened until now, our family still cannot sleep and cope with losing him,” he said, adding the family would not give any comment about the case investigation. 

 

He said they would keep some of Phakhapong’s ashes at home and scatter the rest in a river in line with the Loy Angkhan ritual.

 

The case captured national attention after Phakhapong’s family came forward last month |to demand a transparent inquiry into the death |on October 17 of the first-year cadet at Nakhon Nayok’s Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School. His organs, which were removed in |the first autopsy at the military-run Phramongkutklao Hospital, were later sent for a second autopsy at the Central Institute of Forensic Science. 

 

The family has said they thought Phakhapong’s death might have been caused by corporal punishment that he had received at the military school, and not by cardiac arrest as the academy had claimed and as Phramongkutklao Hospital stated in the initial death certificate and hospital autopsy report. 

 

The latest autopsy reports have been widely shared on social media, while the cadet’s family declined to confirm the claim that Phakhapong’s body showed signs of physical injuries. 

 

 

Nakhon Nayok deputy police chief Pol Colonel Nipon Panitcharoen said yesterday that police had already received the latest autopsy results from the institute and would hold a meeting of investigators in one or two days to consider evidence linked to the young man’s cause of death and whether he had been killed. 

 

He said police had interviewed more than 10 witnesses and received useful information so the case would be concluded soon. He added that no one could interfere with the police probe, which would follow the evidence and facts.

Such a tragedy. A young man who believed in his country, only to be betrayed by its government.

I wonder if the good Colonel knows that he lives in Thailand...

[neeray]

I can imagine the sorrow of the family. They no doubt still remember him as a baby and a little boy like it was only yesterday. Let's hope that this family's efforts to expose the truth helps to avoid a repeat of the same in the future . This death was so totally senseless.
