Army rebuttals on six deaths at Wat Pathum
Play
The Army has issued a three-point statement aimed at rebutting a witness statement at the judicial inquest on the six deaths at Wat Pathum.
The six were shot dead in connection with the crowd control operations on May 19, 2010 in the wake of the Ratchaprasong rallies involving the red shirts.
The Army statement said although forensic checks found the six were shot with .223 bullets used in M-16 and Trevor assault rifles which were a standard issue in the military service, riot forces had reported three incidents, on April 10, 13 and 15, about 62 stolen assault rifles and almost 2,000 rounds of ammunitions
