Porntip lodges complaints against forensic team in Akeyuth case

Murdered businessman and activist Akeyuth Anchanbutr

Forensic expert and inspector-general Porntip Rojanasunan criticized local forensic officials investigating the murder of businessman Akeyuth Anchanbutr for not doing their job independently. She said that the investigators are not able to tend to their duties since they are being “dictated to” by certain people at the scene.

The forensic leader made these comments last Friday, testifying before a House subcommittee on political development and public relations. The investigation was flawed, she added.

In a Bangkok Post report, Ms. Porntip added that investigators only came up with a few motives for the murder and they also used the van that was involved in the crime for the re-enactment instead of examining it for further evidence.
