DSI probe progress on Bangkok unrest

The Department of Special Investigation is working to solve 254 cases, including 89 people killed, related to violence triggered by the red-shirt protests in April and May, DSI director general Tharit Pengdit said on Tuesday in a progress report.

The investigation has drawn conclusion for some 54 cases which are under the judicial review, Tharit said.

Of the 89 people killed during the unrest, investigators have divided the casualties into two groups - one caused by the red-shirt unrest and another inflicted by unidentified culprits with suspected involvement of state officials, he said.

Among killings related to the unrest, there are eight ongoing cases. These include the killing of five soldiers, including Colonel Romklao Thuwatham, on April 10 near Din So Road,

Another highly-publicised case is the M-79 attack at Sala Daeng BTS station with one death and 37 injured followed by the gun and grenade attack at a police checkpoint at Sala Daeng and another M-79 attack near Lumpini Park.
