Thai Police Clarify Georgia Investigation Framework in Death Case
Thai police clarified that Georgia's investigation into the death of "Hloon Solo" Baworntat Pengsuk using Article 115 of the penal code is a legal framework for gathering evidence, not a conclusion about the cause of death or criminal guilt
Thai national police spokesperson Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairongkit Phiuphan clarified on July 30, 2569 the death case of Baworntat Pengsuk, known as "Hloon Solo," in Georgia, following reports that Georgian authorities are investigating under Article 115 of the penal code. The police spokesperson stated that Article 115 is a provision related to causing a person to commit or attempt suicide as a result of threats, cruel treatment, or actions affecting the victim's honor and dignity. However, conducting an investigation under this provision does not constitute a conclusion that the death resulted from suicide or that any person committed a crime—it is merely a legal framework used to gather evidence and examine facts comprehensively. Currently, the National Police Office has coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request information and verification from Georgian authorities, particularly regarding official findings and the confirmed cause of death. The Foreign Ministry is the primary agency coordinating with Georgian authorities through diplomatic channels. Coordination through INTERPOL has not yet yielded additional information. The National Police Office will closely follow developments and formally inform the public as soon as confirmation is received from Georgian authorities.
