Court drops complaint to cancel arrest warrants
The Criminal Court dropped on Wednesday a complaint by two men who are calling for their arrest warrants in connection to the New Year's eve be revoked.
The Court said police have authority to issue the warrants as their investigation into the fatal attack are still in progress. After a two-hourt court hearing, both Pratya Preechavej and Yutthaphong Kittisriworraphan were escorted to Prawet police station for question for their suspected involvement in the bomb attacks at a department store. Police have released video footage showing two suspects walking in the department store on December 31. Police also issued arrest warrants against the two men. Pratya and Yutthapphong claimed they were two men in the video footage but they were not the bombers. They then lodged their complaint to the court on Tuesday to have arrest warrants revoked, In the hearing, Pol Maj Gen Jate Mongkholhatthee, a senior investigator, said police had verified video footage taken from security cameras at the complex to support police's theory that the two suspects really carried out the attack. The two men only looked similar to the suspects, but not the same persons. The Nation
