SA KAEO: On Wednesday, the Sa Kaeo Juvenile and Family Court fined the parents of a group of teenagers who were accused of killing a 47-year-old intellectually disabled woman, and gave them$ 5,000 each.
The families of the five kids, who are accused of killing Buaphan Tansu, were wanted by the police for trial.
Kids were liable for supporting or allowing their children to behave incorrectly under the Child Protection Act.
After leaving the court, some of the parents told investigators the jury fined them 10, 000 ringgit each, but due to their statements, the jury commuted the charges to 5, 000 baht each.
They were facing possible fines of up to 30 000 ringgit as well as possible jail term of up to three months.
The jury ordered additional information about the court decision, but authorities refused to comment.
It is the first time that the families of teens who commit serious crimes have been given authorized abuse.
However, in another twist to the situation, the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) is likewise probing how the woman’s 56- year- ancient husband, Panya Khongsaenkham, was reportedly mistreated by Aranyaprathet police to fraudulently repent that he murdered his wife. According to surveillance video from January 11, the teenagers who afterward disposed of Buaphan’s body in a nearby pond claimed to have assaulted, abducted, and killed her.
Prior to the release of the video, Pol Maj Yutthana Praedam, the DS I’s acting director-general, approved of a policeman order to determine whether Mr. Panya had unjustly brought criminal charges against him.
If their grief is proven, the act’s do will be regarded as being in contravention of the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearances.
The attorney-general has established a panel of nine public prosecutors to oversee the DSI investigation, according to Watcharin Phanurat, a deputy spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General ( OAG ).
Mr. Watcharin claimed that the OAG and DSI are not conducting a joint research. The lawyers, he said, are solely responsible for overseeing the spacecraft until it is concluded.
He claimed that the board has the authority to appoint sub-panels to help its work and to constantly report its findings to the attorney-general. He added that the situation has received a lot of media attention because some state leaders have been linked to it.
