Police Say Suspect Still Silent as Others Face Charges
A suspect named Pa Da remains unreachable after police issued a summons for unlawful assembly in Khon Kaen, while investigators warn others involved must come forward or face similar charges.
Police have revealed that a suspect known as 'Pa Da' remains uncontactable, while other people involved in the incident face potential charges for unlawful assembly if they do not come forward. On August 16, Deputy Superintendent Yoswat Kaewsubthanit of Muang Khon Kaen Police Station disclosed that investigators had issued a summons to Chommani Noijuntan, also known as Da, 62 years old, on charges of unlawful assembly, with the first hearing scheduled for August 27. However, there has been no contact from the suspect.
Several witnesses have already completed their statements, including a cement truck driver, driver's assistant, and a building material shop owner who sold pipes and cement. Investigators are still seeking two van drivers and passengers believed to reside in Bangkok, for whom summonses have also been issued.
Deputy Superintendent Yoswat further stated that any other individuals involved in the incident, whether or not they have been summoned, should come forward to give statements to investigators. Those who fail to do so will be considered accomplices and charged with unlawful assembly alongside the main suspects.
Regarding a separate matter involving the issuance of replacement land title deeds at Khon Kaen Provincial Land Office, police are receiving reports after a temple submitted objections with the original deed. Officers have not yet received a formal complaint from the land official, but will proceed with the case once a complaint is filed.
