DSI to charge ex-Kaeng Krachan park chief over Billy’s disappearance

 

 

The Department of Special Investigation is expected to file criminal charges, against the former chief of Kaeng Krachan national park and three park officials today, in connection with the disappearance and subsequent murder of former Karen community rights activist Polajee “Billy” Rakchongcharoen about five years ago.

 

Pol. Col. Shane Kanchanapat, director of the Special Cases Division of the DSI, told the media this morning (Monday) that evidence in the case, which amounts to about 17 files, will be submitted to public prosecutors at the Office of the Attorney-General, together with the DSI’s recommendation to file six charges against Mr. Chaiwat Limlikhit-akson and his three former staff members, namely Boontaen Busarakham, Thanaseth or Paitoon Chamthet and Krisanapong Chitthet.

 

The six charges are premediated murder, illegal detention, coercion through the use of firearms and physical force, robbery, concealment of a body to cover up crimes and malfeasance in office.
