Checks on 13 deaths from last year

“The 13 cases are very complicated,” he said.
Anucha, also deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said he would involve the public prosecutors in solving the 13 cases.
Investigators were reviewing the cases in order to map out how to collect additional evidence, including the interview of witnesses, he said.
He also dismissed the concern about political meddling, arguing that police were obligated to follow the legal procedures on forensic checks.
The 13, including six found at Wat Pathum Wanaram, were killed during the anti-riot operations. The Department of Special Investigation claimed its jurisdiction over the cases linked to the red-shirt rallies.
The DSI subsequently uncovered that the killings might involve state officials and returned the cases to police.
Under the Criminal Procedural Code, the forensic checks on unexplained deaths suspected to involve state officials are under the police jurisdiction, paving way for the judicial inquest on the cause of death.
