MP Kamlasak Fears Shooting Case Will Be Cut Short, Woman Won't Reach Mastermind as Investigation Stalls
An MP from Narathiwat is warning that delays in investigating an attempted murder case could allow key suspects to escape justice, as investigators struggle to gather evidence and issue arrest warrants despite formal complaints and witness
MP Kamlasak Leewamueah of Narathiwat District 5 from the Prachacha Nat Party voiced alarm on May 2, 2569 over the lack of progress in an attempted murder case, warning that investigative delays could cause critical evidence to vanish and hinder efforts to implicate those at higher levels of command.
Kamlasak stressed that the case involves crucial allegations of conspiracy or aiding and abetting, which require interconnected witness testimony. Delayed proceedings risk key information being lost and the case being "cut short" before reaching the principal perpetrators.
While investigators have conducted additional interrogations of suspects whose statements align with previous complaints, Kamlasak noted no progress has been made in issuing summonses or arrest warrants for additional persons involved.
He also questioned the consistency of law enforcement standards in the region, observing that previous cases have rapidly resulted in charges based solely on information from special law interrogations, yet this case with formal complaints and clear criminal elements has stalled. This inconsistency raises public concerns about equal and impartial application of the law by government officials.
Regarding digital evidence, particularly phone communication records between those involved, Kamlasak noted that access remains restricted under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), requiring court approval or investigator authorization—a factor contributing to investigative delays.
Additionally, concerns exist about evidence management, as critical documents fall outside the direct responsibility of the lead investigator but are held by the central investigation unit, potentially hampering coordination and case continuity.
Security sources, however, insist the case remains in the evidence-gathering phase, with all steps proceeding carefully within legal frameworks to ensure a complete and sound prosecution.
