The Criminal Court rejected the DSI's request to revoke the bail of former Kaeng Krachan park chief Chaiwat Limlikhit-akson and three other suspects in the murder of activist Porlajee “Billy” Rakchongcharoen.
The DSI cited Chaiwat's media interviews, where he accused them of falsifying evidence and mentioned visiting the park, as reasons for revocation, but the court found no valid grounds or risk of evidence tampering.
