of Special Investigation, has been transferred to the same post
at the Central Institute of Forensic Science in a move believed
to be related to slow investigation of 2010 political violence
in which 89 people were killed.
Under
the order signed by Suwana Suwanjutha, the permanent
secretary for justice, the
transfer to CIFS deputy director
adheres to Justice Minister Paiboon
Koomchaya's directive
to improve coordination between the CIFS and the Royal
Thai Police.
However, informed sources at the ministry said
the transfer
might be related to his investigation of 2010's violent red-shirt
protests.
The sources said the investigation initially
made little progress,
leading to the replacement of the first team of
investigators.
The
staffing change led to the discovery of important pieces
of evidence and the
investigation now is nearly complete.
A particular snag in the investigation
concerned the existence
of the so-called "men in black."
Tarit Pengdith, DSI chief during the
Democrat-led government
of Abhisit Vejjajiva, at first said there were
"men in black"
among the protesters. Mr Tarit later reversed his statement
and
described them as "unidentified armed elements."
An initial investigation report referenced evidence indicating
the spot from
which the black-clad men fired the M79 grenade
that killed Gen Romklao
Thuwatham during a clash at the
Khok Wua intersection on April
10, 2010.
But that evidence was never included in the investigation into
the 89
deaths, said the sources.
Moreover,
in an investigation carried out under Pol Lt Col
Wannapong's supervision into alleged
share manipulations by
a group led by Chai Bunnag, the DSI did not seek
indictments in 14 cases.
However, following complaints, the investigation was
reopened
and misdeeds were found. A number of people
subsequently were
summonsed to be charged, said the sources.

In my believe there were “men in black"
among the protesters
and the investigation should make it clear
so that the dead
of protestors and Gen Romklao Thuwatham are
not free dead.
