SA KAEO, Jan 16 (TNA) – An elder sister of a woman allegedly killed by teenagers in Sa Kaew province has requested Deputy National Police Chief Surachate Hakparn to look into the case to ensure fairness as one of the suspect is the son of a local policeman.

 

The body of Ms. Buaphan or Aunt Buaphan, 47 was found in a pond near the Sriarunyothai school in the Aranyaprathep municipality on Jan 12 with wounds on her head and face.

 

Shortly after the discovery of the body, her husband Mr. Panya or Uncle Piak, 54 confessed to the crime, saying he had beaten his wife to death with a chair and dumped her body into the pond because she refused to give him money.

Not really, it seems whoever is brought in for questioning confesses. plus reading the full story helps.

In a nutshell

The Husband was interrogated by the police chief who's son actually committed the offence.

The husband, despite not being present at the scene, 'confessed' with accurate details of how the offence was committed.

Sounds to me like the son confessed to his father. The father then forced a false confession from the innocent husband. Remember that these confessions and witness statements are actually written by the police and the person making the statement is then told to sign it. If the husband is illiterate he wouldn't know what he was signing. The police chief simply wrote his son's confession and told the husband to sign it. At the very least he is guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and should be imprisoned for the same length of time as the husband would have been.

Confusing account in the OP. From the full story in the link:

 

Quote

After the reenactment of the crime, he was detained on Jan 13.

However, later footage from CCTV in the area did not show Uncle Piak with Aunt Buaphan at the time leading up to the discovery of the body.

Instead, images revealed a group of five teenagers, aged between 13-16, riding two motorcycles, harassing Aunt Buaphan near a convenience store. Authorities brought all of them in for questioning with a multidisciplinary team.

 

They confessed to attack her after a quarrel on Jan10 and brought her on a motorcycle, heading to the pond where her body was found.

CCTV also showed around 2:40 AM, the teenagers arrived at a car wash about 2 kilometers away from the crime scene to wash the vehicle used in the incident.

Meanwhile, Pol Maj Gen Omsin Bunyanuson, commander of the Sa Kaeo provincial police ordered the transfer of deputy inspector at the Aranyaprathep police station, the father of a teenage suspect to an inactive post at the Sa Kaeo provincial police operation center until the investigation is complete.

Another psycho cop and his little acorn.
