Lite Beer Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Son of missing couple sues doctor for libel The Nation on Sunday Sawang Numjui, the father of Samart Numjui who went missing three years ago with his wife Orasa Kerdsab, filed a defamation complaint at Muang Phetchaburi Police Station yesterday against Pol Colonel Dr Suphat Laohawatthana whom he accused of being involved in the disappearance of his parents. Suphat's son on October 8 had shown the doctor's open letter in front of Phetchaburi Prison. The letter accused Sawang of being a subordinate of Suphat's brother Suthep Laohawatthana. The letter also accused Sawang of being involved in criminal cases. Sawang said this had led others to think negatively about him. Sawang rejected the allegations as false. He said he had never known Suthep before the search for the missing couple's bodies, and Suthep only talked to him about the search. He admitted that Suphat had helped his daughter to get a job at the Police General Hospital. Police investigators will summon Sawang for additional testimony on Tuesday and then interview Suphat in prison before concluding the case for court. -- The Nation 2012-10-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
