Bullets hit Suthin from two direction, autopsy reveals

[gemini81]

I thought pathologists could at least form a view of what kind of gun and ammunition was used from the type of wounds inflicted. A high velocity rifle bullet has a very different trajectory from a pistol round and is more likely to exit at sufficient velocity to be hard to find. An AK-47 bullet trajectory is also different from an M16's but less so at very close range when the difference in tumbling is not so distinct.

I remember a lot of nonsense about this though in the to-ing nad fro-ing of pathologists with different agendas regarding the red shirt deaths in 2010 when a lot of effort went into trying to prove they were killed by M16s, as carried by the army, after the change of government, even though there were YouTube clips of MIB also firing M16s.

Pornthip doesn't have quite the credibility she once had, since she endorsed the use of plastic dousing rods with nothing inside them for detecting explosives.

and the bullets must be somewhere to find.....

if performed by a professional forensic investigator from abroad, rather than ones who bought their study program, and are subject to intimidation and bribes of the guys who hired the hitmen. They ought to ask Chalerm who didn't do it: in order to find out who DID do it.

One shot from the book repository and one from the grassy knoll!

The forensic abilities of this nation are highly subject and I fail to comprehend how based on what has been stated that the fatal round came for two different directions. A body hit with a high velocity round will spin or twist from the impact possible presenting a different angle for the second shot. This type of reporting just serves to fog the issue. He was hit by two rounds but it is pure conjecture and speculation to say that it was from two different attack positions.

Dr. Pornthip is without doubt a person of integrity and competence and is very much respected by the public and her peers in Thailand.

She is reviled by the police and southern insurgents for her work in the south and for always making the police look like idiots with their second rate gathering of evidence.

She was dismissed as director of the Central Institute of Forensic Science just one week before the murder of Akeyuth Achanbutr, the very outspoken critic of Thaksin and his sister. He was claimed to have leaked a video of the PM (Yingluck) have an escapade with a prominent businessman at the Four Seasons hotel.

One guesses that the powers above did not want her to find out the truth during an autopsy of Akeyuth which was conveniently and subsequently assigned to the police forensics department. The case has so far concluded that "Ball" his driver did it, very professionally may I add as Akeyuth usually is accompanied by several bodyguards and carries a weapon. The case has gone hush and is already forgotten by the public.

The information provided about Dr. Porntip on Wikipedia does not seem to be entirely accurate, but as we know wikipedia is open sourced so there is a disclaimer on its origins and accuracy in itself.

As for this case, as a professional, Dr. Porthip can make educated guesses on the caliber of weapon used etc. but without solid proof will not confirm it on a report lest it be used misleadingly. Thats how forensics work. Scientific proof or no opinion. Has nothing to do with her competency. The trajectory can be concluded of course with a degree of accuracy and it seems the killers were professional, coordinated and accurate.

Not your everyday redshirt protestor but more like those with military training. Whoever's work it is is not as important as what is stands for. Tactical intimidation and suppression of protests on a coordinated level by professionals. This is the signature hallmark of those in power and not some pro-government supporters.

From two directions??

I thought Suthep said they came from Cambodia!!

Interesting article which recently came out in the other paper, which we are not allowed to quote. Reports are that the deceased "managed to stop a group of Cambodian-speaking men, all wearing white T-shirts and without ID papers. They were later handed over to the police at the temple."

According to the body----it was hit at 2 different points each entry at opposite sides. That's it-------that is all it should have said. period.

further evidence eye-camera would then determine if more than 1 gun was fired, by womb, from where.

I tried to point this fact on earlier page. there are many ways it could have been done, but it is very wrong to speak about the shot coming from 2 different points.
