Thai DSI chief accused of distorting facts about Japanese cameraman death
BANGKOK, March 2 (TNA) - The opposition Puea Thai Party has accused the DSI chief and a former head of the Scientific Crime Detection Division of malfeasance for announcing that the Japanese cameraman was killed with an AK assault rifle.
Puea Thai MP Jatuporn Prompan asked the Crime Suppression Division to take legal actions against Tharit Pengdit, director-general of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), and Police Lieutenant General Amporn Jarujinda, former commissioner of the Scientific Crime Detection Division.
Jatuporn accused Tharit of malfeasance and Police Lieutenant General Amporn of facilitating the wrongdoing of a government official. The opposition MP described that both had told the press that Japanese cameraman Hiroyuki Muramoto had been killed with an AK assault rifle and that soldiers had not taken any AK rifle on the day of the death.
Jatuporn said both distorted information about the case because they had previously announced that Mr Muramoto might have been killed by a government official. The MP also said that both officials tried to reduce the weight of the information that he would present during the upcoming censure debate.
Interrogators of the Crime Suppression Division received his complaint for further investigation. Mr Muramoto was a cameraman of Reuters. He was shot dead in Bangkok on April 10, 2010, when soldiers clashed with protesters of Mr Jatuporn’s red shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship on Ratchadamnoen avenue. (TNA)
