The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has been instructed to conclude its findings in detail in 60 days on the autopsies of 91 people killed in violent protests of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship in Mar-May, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said on Wednesday.

Mr Suthep said the instruction was given at a meeting of the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) after the DSI was criticised for being too slow to conclude its investigation.

The DSI is required to explain where, how, and when each of the 91 was killed, by whom, and in what circumstances.

If the DSI did not have enough staff to finish the work in 60 days it could seek help from police, Mr Suthep said.

The DSI held a press conference on Wednesday, only to say that it was not yet able to conclude its findings from the autopsies of those killed in the UDD protests.
