Bangkok: Get ready to reveal photos of Tangmo's stab wound tomorrow. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is set to release crucial evidence related to the Tangmo case, including images of stab wounds, as part of its ongoing investigation into the incident.
According to Thai News Agency, Pol. Lt. Col. Nattapol Disayatham, head of the fact-finding team for the case, reported that the DSI, after a comprehensive data collection operation spanning over eight hours, has gathered critical information from eight key points along the riverbank. Utilizing drones for aerial photography, the team expanded its survey to cover additional areas of interest. The collected data will undergo rigorous analysis alongside witness accounts and video footage, some of which has been circulating on social media. The complete analysis is expected to be ready in two weeks, with findings to be shared with the media.
The investigation also involves forensic analysis of environmental factors such as water, mud, and sand. While the collection of water samples is pending, existing samples of mud and sand are under review. The process aims to eliminate uncertainties and ensure the accuracy of the data used in the case. Two new witnesses are expected to provide information soon, although their roles remain undisclosed.
Mr. Kraisri Sawangsri, Director of the Map and Information Technology Division, highlighted the use of underwater sonar waves and drones by the Royal Irrigation Department to map the Chao Phraya River from Baan Tanid Restaurant to Rama VIII Bridge. The DSI has also employed small scanners to capture data from significant locations, including the site where Tangmo's body was discovered. The data collection is nearly complete, with immediate results available for review.
Professor Panathep Puapongphan, Dean of the College of Oriental Medicine at Rangsit University, shared his observations as a public witness. He emphasized the significance of public collaboration in gathering data over the past three years, which includes GPS data relevant to the case. The investigation is expected to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Tangmo's death and potentially identify perpetrators or accomplices.
Mr. Atchariya Ruangrattanapong, President of the Crime Victim Assistance Association, announced that images of Tangmo's stab wound will be publicly shown tomorrow. He confirmed that the DSI has already reviewed this evidence. The case is set to be considered by the Nonthaburi Provincial Court in May, independent of the DSI's findings.
In related developments, Mr. Pichai Phusit Butrniam, Tangmo's former personal manager, revealed plans to launch a new Instagram account in Tangmo's memory. A merit-making ceremony to honor Tangmo's third anniversary is scheduled for February 22 at Wat Pak Nam in Nonthaburi Province. Another private ceremony will be held on February 24 to commemorate her legacy.
