Late nurse's kin released without charge

Phayao and Natthapat, the mother and brother of Kamolked – a nurse who was among the six people shot dead at the temple – held a symbolic protest to mark the fourth anniversary of the shooting.
The mother washed military uniforms near the temple’s gate as a symbolic gesture, before reading out the August 13 Criminal Court verdict that said soldiers manning the BTS station on Rama I Road were guilty of the killings. Nobody has been punished for the temple killings so far.
In 2010, Prayut was part of the Centre for Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES), which sent out troops to control the crowds. However, the names of the soldiers responsible for killing protesters were never released.
The mother and son were only able to spend about 10 minutes at the temple before they were taken to the Pathumwan Police Station.
Phayao told reporters that her intention was only to inquire about the progress in the case and seek justice for victims, not protest against the military’s ruling National Council for Peace and Order. She said she did not believe Prayut’s claim that he had evidence about the six people killed in the temple.
“If he did have evidence, then it would have been used in court. The case of Prayut’s own subordinate, General Romklao Thuwatham, has not progressed either.”
She also said that she was unhappy about recent comments Prayut made about the incident.
Both mother and son were interrogated for about 10 minutes before being released without any charges.
Lt-Colonel Panom Chuathong, deputy superintendent of Pathumwan Police Station, said Phayao did not break any laws, but she has been asked to go directly to appropriate officials to push for the case to be expedited.
Panom also said Phayao would be allowed to host a birthday party for her husband near Democracy Monument, provided the event was a personal one and did not implicate a third party.
