How come the name of the officer and Fifth Infantry Division commander Maj Gen Chalermchai Wirunpeth and other military officers involved in the operation are not mentioned amongst the murder suspects, just the order-obeying serfs?

Maj Gen Chalermchai Wirunpeth is named in the full story at https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-1421440 in fact, he's the only one that's named.

It is my understanding that the limitation of proceedings for murder/manslaughter is 20 years. If that is correct, they just have to avoid being arrested before 25 October this year.
