No Holds Barred – Four Levels and Gang Gunfire: The Case Reaches the Mastermind Level

According to the Phak Prachanachon task force investigating the shooting of Kamlasak Leewamaud, a Narathiwat MP, party deputy secretary-general Abdulrahman Molla (Professor Ben) has previously stated that the assassination plot against the MP is now completely visible, involving four distinct levels: Level 1 (the true mastermind), Level 2 (coordinators and planners), Level 3 (facilitators who procured weapons, ammunition, and vehicles and arranged escape logistics), and Level 4 (the gunmen, with five already arrested). The deputy secretary-general noted that when the case stalled at the arrest of the five lower-level suspects, Kamlasak himself filed a complaint, bringing two high-ranking naval officers into the proceedings. Recently, Narathiwat police issued summonses, and both officers appeared to hear the charges and entered the legal process. The crucial question is whether, without Kamlasak's personal decision to file a complaint and without the party's independent investigation efforts, the case would have progressed beyond the arrest of these five individuals. The case now clearly shows Level 2 and Level 3 involvement, but Level 1—the actual mastermind—remains to be identified. Investigators must examine mobile communications, particularly LINE app messages, between all suspects. According to gunman testimony, after the shooting, one officer immediately called someone via LINE, making communication records essential to solving the case. The Phak Prachanachon team, which includes former police investigator Tawee Sotsong, has already gathered substantial evidence and claims to have identified the Level 1 mastermind. The truth will ultimately depend on how thoroughly the investigation follows the evidence and what the courts ultimately determine, but one thing is certain: there is still a Level 1 commander pulling the strings above the arrested suspects.
