Red-shirt autopsy results tomorrow


The Justice Ministry is due to announce results tomorrow of autopsies on red-shirt protesters killed during clashes with troops in April and May, Department of Special Invest-igation director-general Tharit Pengdit said yesterday.

The autopsies were done by officials from each jurisdiction area and the results compiled by the Metropolitan Police Bureau for the DSI, Tharit said. He expressed confidence that officials would be able to answer questions about the overall work.

However, DSI deputy chief Pol Colonel Narat Savetanan said inquiries into the killings of a Japanese cameraman for Reuters, Hiroyuki Muramoto, and the independent Italian photographer Fabio Polenghi had not been completed.

Narat said families of the journalists and their respective embassies would be kept informed about progress in the cases, he said. The major problem was they took place at a time when more than 80 people were killed, but the DSI was compelled to probe thoroughly.
