Defendant of Hangthong case taking legal actions against Khunying Porntip  
 
The defendant in a controversial murder case of his brother and former Thai Citizen Party MP Hangthong Thammawattana, Mr. Noppadol Thammawattana, has filed a lawsuit against Khunying Porntip Rojanasunan, the acting director of the Institute of Forensic Science, accusing her of giving false testimony. Mr. Noppadol also would like the government to help out the public members who have been mistreated by the state officials.

Mr. Noppadol also filed a lawsuit against Md. Thamrong Chirachariyavej, the physician who also performed Mr. Hangthong’s autopsy with Khunying Porntip. Mr. Noppadol also said he will also take a legal action against the two physicians for giving a false autopsy report of his brother at Nonthaburi Provincial Court. Following the criminal charges, he will file charges against them, demanding over one billion baht of damage. He said he believes his legal actions will act as a criterion for the government to protect people who have been treated badly by the state officials.

The court has accepted his case for consideration, and the plaintiffs will be summoned on May 14th at 9 AM.
