PHUKET: Despite police last week assuring that the investigation into the death of 19-year-old student Pornpiphat “Mint” Iaddam at Phuket Rajabhat University last month would be concluded “within seven days”, police today (Sept 25) confirmed that the investigation is still ongoing as “some things still need to be checked”.

 

Nong Mint collapsed and later died after being ordered to run as punishment for making mistakes during cheerleading practice on campus on Aug 19.

 

Exactly how far Nong Mint was ordered to run and how far she had run before she collapsed and died is in dispute. Initial reports confirmed she had run several kilometres before she collapsed while running laps around the campus pond. The university maintains that Nong Mint had run only a few hundred metres before collapsing, and that she was ordered to run around the car park, not the campus pond.

How does anyone in charge of students, think "making" some one run any distance is acceptable? For any reason. Seems archaic to me.

So who ordered the "punishment"... why are the police dragging their collective feet.
