A red-shirt leader has offered to raise the reward to Bt2 million on each of seven unsolved cases in order to hasten the capture of hitmen suspected of killing people during the April-May riots in 2010.
Somwang Assarasi, deputy chairman of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, Monday met with Department of Special Investigation (DSI) directorgeneral Tharit Pengdit and offered his own money to double the Bt1million bounty on each of the seven cases, in order to increase the incentive and bring about the speedy arrest of the culprits.
He said other redshirt leaders may also follow in his footsteps and donate their assets, such as plots of land, to increase the rewards.
