“The Army has always cooperated with the investigation on violent incidents,” he said, voicing confidence that the truth will come out as the soldiers followed prescribed procedures on crowd control.
Prayuth was referring to news reports the Department of Special Investigation wanted to conduct a new round of questioning of the squad designated marksman involved in reining in the protesters.
The DSI had already taken statements from anti-riot forces at the end of the red shirt rally.
He said the marksman in question had already left the military service. He was a private in 2010 and subsequently promoted to the rank of corporal.
