Chief of the Kaeng Krachan National Park will appeal against the police investigation team's decision to not prosecute a commissioned police officer on charges of illegal hunting.
“I will write to the governor of Phetchaburi,” park chief Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn said Wednesday. “It will be unfair to people if that police officer is not prosecuted even though there is solid evidence against him.”
Police investigators recommended that all the other eight suspects be prosecuted, but spared Pol Lt-Colonel Thirayuth Ketmangmee, a deputy inspector at the Pran Buri Police Station in Prachuap Khiri Khan.
The alleged illegal hunting took place at the Kaeng Krachan National Park in Petchaburi province in November last year.
While Thirayuth is seen in photographs with all the other suspects, investigators said the images did not show him hunting. Besides, they said, the photographs were not dated.
