Dem MP wanted for questioning

Provincial Police Region 7 has sent a letter to the Royal Thai Police Office asking it to submit a request that the House of Representatives allow Democrat Party MP Khanchit Thapsuwan to meet police investigators, police spokesman Piya Uthayo said on Wednesday.

The Samut Sakhon Court on Dec 26 last year issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr Khanchit in connection with the murder of Provincial Administration Organisation chairman Udon Kraiwatnussorn, who was shot dead at a petrol station in Muang district of Samut Sakhon on Dec 25.

The only suspect in the case is Mr Khanchit, a Democrat Party MP for Samut Sakhon, who is protected by parliamentary immunity while parliament is in session.

    Why these double standards ? Democrat MP Kanchit should be acquited just like DPM Chalerms son was.

    Disgusting that someone can evade justice in this way.

    The police have been very slow to act on this. Workng for or being an MP does not give the person
    a right to be above the law.The police should not have to ask anything, if he is suspected to have committed such a crime, then he should be questioned and all items involved in the crime sized.
    Yet again another political downfall of the dems.
    He should have been arrested and questioned soon after the incident.Not given time to alter any evidence.
    How can any person in Thailand belive in the integrity of the DEM's anymore? from the leader down wards.
    From the previous article here it was clear that he is involved.
