NONG KHAI: -- FOUR FORMER teachers, who have served 22 months in jail for concealing evidence after the shooting death of another teacher in 2009, have petitioned the Justice Ministry for help in seeking a retrial.

 

The four ex-teachers of Nong Khai’s Bung Khlong Lhong School – Bualoy Khlongdee, 58, Amkha Phutongjai, 56, Kwanpak Phokhong, 55, and Lamai Punriboon, 54 – met with deputy permanent secretary for the Justice Ministry Pol Colonel Dusadee Arayawuth yesterday.

 

Dusadee said the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) was already working on the case to provide them with justice.

 

The four testified in the murder trial of school director Chusak Sutthasri, who was eventually acquitted in 2014. The case centred on the fatal shooting of teacher Pethai Amatrattana during a party on March 3, 2009.
