Bangkok: "Thawee" has claimed the discovery of new evidence in the attempted assassination of "Kamolsak," which suggests that the firearm used in the crime belonged to a government agency. The case, however, has seen little progress, leading to concerns of its potential dismissal. In response, "Tawee" has guided "Kamolsak" in filing a petition with the House Committee on Legal Affairs to uncover the orchestrator behind the shooting attempt.
According to Thai News Agency, the Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights, led by Mr. Rangsiman Rome, a party-list MP from the People's Party, is actively reviewing the justice administration in the case involving Mr. Kamolsak Leewamae, an MP from Narathiwat Province representing the Prachachart Party. This review also extends to his entourage who were involved in the incident.
Before the committee gathered, Pol. Col. Tawee Sodsong, leader of the Prachachart Party and an advisor to the Legal Affairs Committee, expressed in an interview that Mr. Kamolsak had raised concerns about the current legal proceedings potentially failing to identify the masterminds. Consequently, the committee has summoned relevant agencies for further questioning.
The concern arose from evidence suggesting that the firearm used was illegal. It was later discovered that the weapon belonged to a navy sergeant and had been damaged and destroyed. Police investigations highlighted alterations made to the firearm, prompting questions about its use in the attack on Mr. Kamolsak. Given the extensive damage and the mystery surrounding the weapon's origins, relevant parties have been called for inquiry. This situation ties into addressing issues in the southern border provinces, with an emphasis on ensuring government officials adhere to the law. An investigation into the origin of a second firearm is also underway, reflecting Mr. Kamolsak's ongoing concerns.
Mr. Kamolsak revealed his approach to the Legal Affairs Committee is driven by the need to identify the mastermind, given that the accused individuals are government officials, and the involved vehicles and firearms are linked to government agencies. He remains uneasy, seeking clarity on why the investigation has not yet concluded, despite indications of a well-planned crime. He suspects additional perpetrators beyond those arrested and charged and demands transparency from the involved agencies.
Inquiries about the case's progress revealed Mr. Kamolsak's frustration over the lack of updates, compelling him to seek assistance from the committee. He specifically requested access to contact information, suspecting the planning occurred months prior. Mr. Kamolsak noted that telephone records are typically deleted after three months, and any delays or dishonesty in the process could hinder uncovering the truth.
When questioned about potential case suppression, Mr. Kamolsak expressed confidence that it wouldn't be silenced, though he feared it might be prematurely concluded.
