webfact Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Supreme Court acquits three brothers of murder conspiracy in activist’s deathBANGKOK: -- The Supreme Court today freed three suspects charged with the murder conspiracy of Bo Nok power plant project protest leader Charoen Wat-aksorn on June 21, 2004 in Prachuap Khiri Khan province.The three suspect brothers are Manoch Hinkaeo, a former provincial councillor of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Jua Hinkaeo, a former Tambon Bo Nok headman, and Thanoo Hinkaeo.Only Manoch and Jua appeared before the court to listen to the final ruling, while Thanoo is on the run with arrest warrant on his head.Also arrived at the Criminal Court on Ratchadapisek road in Bangkok to hear the verdict were more than 100 residents from Bo Nok, including Charoen’s wife Korn-uma.The three were charged with the hiring of the gunmen to shoot Charoen.At today’s hearing of the verdict read at the Criminal Court, the Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Appeals Court that earlier acquitted the three brothers of the charges with reason that there was no substantial evidence to support that the three hired gunmen to shoot Charoen, and there was no evidence that proved they had any commercial interests in the power plant project.The court also ordered the warrant for the arrest of Thanoo be revoked.The two gunmen Saneh Lekluan and Prachuap Hinkaew who were arrested had died in prison in August 2006 before the ruling would be reached by the first court.But the Appeals Court acquitted the three brothers of the he charges in March 2013.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/supreme-court-acquits-three-brothers-of-murder-conspiracy-in-activists-death -- Thai PBS 2015-10-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fstarbkk Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 So the two shooters BOTH die in prison, and with them any connection to the 3 alleged conspirators? Surely that was thoroughly investigated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 so one of them is still on the run, guess that proves his innocence, like thaksin he ran because he wasnt guilty of anything. Got to laugh at how these idiots reach these decisions, guess common sense isnt a requirement for the position, either that or the envelope was a very fat one.

oneday Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Only in movies do you see this type of story, except in the movie the bad guys are usually caught. Shooters died in prison...right...even a 3 year old can see how suspicious that looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishJohn Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Every single case seems be be 'Not guilty through lack of evidence". They are never 'proven innocent'. And luckily for many of them it is things like CCTV tapes going missing. And both gunmen dying in prison ?. Come on. Why are these things just accepted by the Thai media who seem to know when to keep quiet ?. I have no faith in the Thai police, justice system and ethics of the media whatsoever.
