Wife of fugitive police doctor receives royal prison amnesty

She was among 427 inmates released from Phetchaburi Prison yesterday morning. 
Wisala was sentenced in 2013 to three years and four months for the theft of the Toyota pick-up truck of missing local couple Samart Noomjui and Orasa Kerdsap, while Supat was given a five-year prison term in absentia. Wisala finally went to prison in March last year.
Phetchaburi Provincial Court last year sentenced Supat in absentia and his eldest son Ake to death and his other son Akara to 25 years in prison for the premeditated murder of Myanmar worker called Ita in February 2004. 
Ita’s remains, with a gunshot wound to the skull, were among three skeletons unearthed in Supat’s property in Phetchaburi’s Tha Yang district in 2012 by investigators who were searching for Samart and Orasa. It is believed that Supat allegedly murdered the couple. 
The couple went missing, along with their Toyota pick-up, in June 2009 after reportedly having an argument with Supat.
There have been reports that Supat was captured at a border town in Myanmar opposite Tak’s Mae Sot district and Thai police are pushing for his extradition.
However, Tak immigration officers yesterday said they had not been in contact with their Myanmar counterparts about Supat’s extradition.
