DSI stands by murder charge move

Department of Special Investigation (DSI) chief Tarit Pengdith yesterday defended the decision to lay murder charges against former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his former deputy Suthep Thaugsuban.

Mr Tarit said the DSI had taken every appropriate step in the case, noting that the accused have the right to file complaints against the charges if they wish.

Given that Mr Abhisit and Mr Suthep were holders of high office, the DSI would not respond to any criticisms made by the two murder suspects, Mr Tarit said, but will simply continue doing its duty.

Abhisit hired Mr Tarit. Good choice. He certainly is NOT picking sides. He has already arrested over 250 red shirts. Now he has to go after those responsible for overthrowing the airports. Many tourists were stranded and risked losing their jobs and homes because they could not return to work. It's not just an airport, it is an international border.

That's right. Hire someone you brought to leak your picture so you get off. Next time they should
treat him just like a normal Thai citizen.

"Mr Abhisit demanded the DSI chief step up an inquiry into the leak, which he says was a violation of his rights".
Using Tarit's own (flawed) logic, he should bear the ultimate legal responsibility for the leak since he is in charge of the investigation!
