The deputy mayor of Tha Uthen appeared immediately after the statute of limitations expired in the Tak Bai case.

Deputy Mayor of Tha Uthen' shows up to work immediately after the statute of limitations for the Tak Bai case expires. 'Anutin' orders the establishment of an investigation committee, saying that he will not be able to live comfortably and will have to endure enormous pressure from society. In the case of Mr. Wisanu Lertsongkram, the district chief of Tha Uthen, Nakhon Phanom Province, 1, a former defendant who was issued an arrest warrant in the Tak Bai case, he came to work on his first day to investigate a drug-crazed man who destroyed property at Ban Na Phak Plod, which was considered his first appearance in 14 days. After Mr. Wisanu was issued an arrest warrant in the Tak Bai case, he submitted a leave request between October 15-18. Even though his superiors had canceled his leave request during that time because they saw that there was an arrest warrant, they were unable to contact Mr. Wisanu until the statute of limitations expired on October 25. Later, on October 26, Mr. Wisanu reported to the distric t office and went to work. On the same day, reporters tried to follow Mr. Wisanu to interview him in his office, but Mr. Wisanu refused to be interviewed, saying only that 20 years ago, he was only a driver. The commanding officer in the administrative line provided information that in the case of a civil servant being absent from work for 15 consecutive days, the superior must report to the person with the authority to appoint to investigate the facts, which is a civil servant practice, not just the case of the Tha Uthen District Chief. If the disciplinary violation is not serious, the punishment is a reprimand, a salary deduction, and a salary reduction. While reporters from Government House asked Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul whether action should be taken against the Permanent Secretary of Tha Uthen, Anutin said that he had ordered the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior to set up a fact-finding committee. From what he knew, he should have been absent for 6 days, but according to the regulations, he must be absent for 15 days before being dismissed from government service. He must be treated fairly. He admitted that this matter is related to civil servant ethics. He emphasized that this group of people will not be able to live comfortably, but other punishments must be in accordance with the regulations. He believes that it will affect career growth. Pol. Lt. Gen. Samran Nuanma, Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, continued to emphasize that the police were doing their utmost in the Tak Bai case. After the Narathiwat Provincial Court issued an arrest warrant for the suspects in the Tak Bai case, the police immediately rushed to track down and arrest the suspects. They searched 52 locations and monitored 241 locations, including houses in the suspects' residences and relatives' houses, but the suspects were not found. Therefore, they coordinated with the International Police to issue a red notice for all 14 suspects. Later, an investigatio n found that one suspect had fled to Japan and another to England, but they could not be arrested. Until the statute of limitations expired, the court ordered the case dismissed. The right to bring a criminal case to court was suspended and the arrest warrant was no longer valid. As for the case after the statute of limitations expired and the Tha Uthen District Chief showed up to work immediately, it will depend on the superior to consider. However, the fact that the police were unable to arrest the suspect, it is believed that the National Police Chief will have to re-examine the facts. And just now, reporters went to observe the residence of Mr. Wisanu, the District Chief of Tha Uthen. It was found that the belongings were in a condition similar to the occupants who had suddenly left the area. The cups, bowls, rice cookers, and canned goods were not cleaned or stored in any way. This is unusual for someone who had been on leave for a long time and had just returned to work. - Thai News Agency Source: T hai News Agency
