According to the Royal Thai Army, more than a few members of the 21st Infantry Regiment have been detained in relation to the death of an 18-year-old recruit, adding that the defendant’s home will receive compensation.
According to assistant military spokesman Col Ritcha Suksuwanon, Worapratch Phadmasakul was reportedly dead on August 2 from injury sustained during training in June.
Thirteen drilling teachers are accused of tragically assaulting him. While an analysis is being conducted, they are being held in custody at Chon Buri’s 14th Military Circle Prison.
Three leaders have also been subject to discipline for failing to manage their employees.
Col. Ritcha claimed that the First Army Area, which falls under the group and unit, promised to assist the family of the fallen soldier by arranging legal proceedings and providing compensation.
On Thursday, House committee on the military forces president Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn announced on his X consideration that the council would ask members of the army for further questioning on the subject.
According to him, the commission will submit its findings to the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) and to lawyers for potential additional charges under the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act.
Worapratch was the next man to pass away while teaching at the military station, according to Mr. Wiroj, a People’s Party MP.
Nitchanan Wangkahat, a previous Chon Buri MP member from the now-dissolved Move Forward Party, said on Twitter that she went to Worapratch’s death and spoke with his kids.
He was allegedly voluntarily enlisted in the army after being hired by clerks.
He submitted his second app in November, according to Ms. Nitchanan, but it was turned down because of his weight. After losing more than 10 kg, he applied for the next day in May and was accepted.
Ms Nitchanan said that on May 26, no longer after he joined the army, his household learned he had lost another 10 kg.
He addressed the community about the teaching without making any objections.
After being actually assaulted by drilling teachers on two occasions, Worapratch was later discovered to have a poor signal on June 22.
After the first abuse, Ms. Nitchanan claimed that he was not taken to the hospital. He complained about the lag in medical support to the town’s officer, and that caused the next abuse. All the teachers deny the costs.
According to regional media reports, the soldier finally received care at Fort Nawamintharachini Hospital. He later moved to Bangkok’s Phramongkutklao Hospital where he eventually succumbed to his injuries on August 2.
