“If the family isn't confident and remains in doubt about the committee's probe, I would like them to come and talk about what made them feel that way. We will try to explain all points for which the family had questions. If the family doesn't come and talk, we will miss the opportunity to reach an understanding," said ACM Chawarat Marungruang

Good for you Sukanya for not attending the charade that was the Committee hearing and not giving up!

Good for them...I'm sure it's quite a shock for this yellow shirt family to see the "justice" system treating them like they were some lowly red shirt peasants. It is waking BKK up because this kid was one of them.

Justice system and army are basically the same thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that some people are waking up. I just believe that if the boy was from the boonies it would not have made as much noise.

They also probably don't risk being 'adjusted' or charged with defamation....

Cadet’s family files complaint with police

By The Nation

 

 

THE FAMILY of a teenage cadet whose death has caught national attention lodged a formal complaint with police yesterday.

 

Supicha Tanyakan, the elder sister of Phakhapong “Meay” Tanyakan, announced the decision to file a complaint but refused to elaborate. 

 

Phakhapong, an 18-year-old student at the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (AFAPS), died on October 17 in what his family has described as suspicious circumstances. 

 

 

The Tanyakans have asked for a full and transparent probe into Phakhapong’s death, as they have expressed doubts that he might have died as a result of excessive corporal punishment prescribed by senior students at the AFAPS. 

 

According to the family, Phakhapong almost died in August because of punishment senior students imposed on him. He was also subject to punishment on the day before his |death.

 

Last week, an investigation launched by a military-established committee confirmed that Phakhapong had faced inappropriate punishment in the 48 hours before his death but insisted that he had not died because of the punishment. 

 

Supicha’s family has not yet sat down with the committee to hear the details of the probe. 

 

The family has focused its attention on points it would like to raise with police. 

 

Supicha and her parents travelled yesterday from their home in Chon Buri province to Nakhon Nayok Police headquarters in Nakhon Nayok province where they met with the province’s acting commander Pol Maj-General Wattana Yeejeen. 

 

Jurisdiction issues

 

A source said Nakhon Nayok police would look into Phakhapong’s autopsy and they expected to conclude the investigation before the end of the month. 

 

“It will then forward the conclusion to the Ban Na Police Station, which is directly in charge of the case,” the source said. 

The AFAPS is located in the jurisdiction of the Ban Na Police Station. 

 

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha said yesterday that Phakhapong’s case would be handled based on forensic science and laws. 

 

“Of course, no one wants such a thing to happen. But given that it has already happened, we will try to prevent such cases from happening again. 

 

“We need to comply with the law and forensic science. Emotions won’t help,” he said.

Clearly the poor lad was beaten to death, and hopefully all of the negative reactions may save cadets lives in the future.

It has happened dumb-ass and omitting the part that those military personnel found guilty would be punished in accordance to the law and dismissed is just insult to normal decency and disrespect to the family and the country.

Surely you mean; same same, or same.

“They said a broken rib found in the teen was caused when the cadet fell down eight flights of stairs.”..... from link.

 

sounds fair and reasonable.... you fall down eight flights of stairs and it’s highly likely that you’ll end up with a few broken bones and bruises.

 

I wonder if he fell eight times down a single flight of stairs, or if they found an eight story building and had to keep pushing him around the corners at each landing.

As mentionned before, it is a yellow familly, so it will not happen. That's why this situation is not easy for the government.

Off topic I know, but that policewoman on the left looks a hottie...
