Family seeks CSD review of checkpoint shooting
The family of a man who was killed at a checkpoint in Chiang Rai province during the New Year holidays headed to Bangkok on Wednesday to ask the Crimes Suppression Division to take over this case.
An assitant village head has been identified as the sole suspect in the case, but there are also lingering doubts that several other local officials at the checkpoint should be held responsible.
“We want to see progress in the case. We want justice,” the victim’s younger sister, Porntip Jayor, said on Wednesday.
Her brother, Sornchai Sathitrakdamrong, failed to stop at a checkpoint on the night of January 2 in unclear circumstances. His girlfriend, who was with him at that time, said they did not see officials at the checkpoint but officials claimed they were present.
Evidence showed that someone fired a few shots when Sornchai’s car moved away from the checkpoint, killing him at the scene.
