X-ray results on Myanmar suspects show no traces of assaults
Latest X-ray results on the two Koh Tao suspects found no unusual indications, said Dr Nirund Pitakwatchara, National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) member said Monday.
However, the results were not unexpected, he said, as the suspects were arrested on October 1 and the x-ray took place on October 13 and 20, many days later. "Therefore, it is difficult to find anything unusual," he said.
Police yesterday did not show up to meet NHRC members who invited them to discuss about the police investigation into the Kho Tao murders that resulted in arrests of two Myanmar nationals.
Nirand quoted police as saying that they could not meet the commissioners because they have to ask permission from public prosecutors first.
Nirand said police are misunderstanding as his agency did not want to discuss about the details of the case but it has to look into the suspects' claims that they were violated of human rights and police assaulted them.
The NHRC will invite police again to meet it again on November 3, he said.
