Kamlasak and Tawi Submit Parliamentary Letter on Shooting Case, Demand Cell Phone Signal Tracking of Female Mastermind
Narathiwat MP Kamlasak Lewamao has urged authorities to extract cell phone records before they're deleted to identify masterminds behind a March shooting attack targeting him and two others, warning that southern MPs face continued danger i
On May 21, 2025, Kamlasak Lewamao, a Narathiwat MP from the Prachachat Party and chairman of the Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee, along with Pol. Lt. Col. Tawi Sotsong, head of the Prachachat Party, and MP Romdan Panjor of the Prachachan Party, submitted a letter to Rangsiman Rom, chairman of the State Security, Thai Border Affairs, National Strategy and Country Reform Committee, requesting an update on the shooting incident that occurred on March 20. The attack targeted Kamlasak, Harirak Himmahna, and Uthlumlah Golao.
During a morning meeting with the police committee, investigators reported that seven suspects have been charged: five alleged perpetrators and two supporters. Kamlasak expressed concern about the roles of the two accused supporters, suspecting they may have been more involved than their charges indicate. He noted that the attack was planned over a month in advance, suggesting a larger network beyond the current seven suspects.
Kamlasak urged investigators to urgently obtain cell phone records and digital evidence before they are automatically deleted within three months, as this data could be crucial to identifying the masterminds. Rangsiman Rom agreed to bring the matter before the committee for close monitoring of the justice process.
Kamlasak stated: "This is no longer just a personal matter for me, but rather a broader issue affecting how to address problems throughout the southern border provinces. If we cannot identify the mastermind, every MP in this region must continue living in fear."
Related headlines indicate ongoing pressure for investigators to identify the female mastermind, calls to elevate the case to special status, and concerns that the investigation may be derailed before reaching those who ordered the attack.
