The Attorney General's office assures the public that 'Joe Ferrari' and six other former police officers will remain detained until their murder case is concluded.
The former officers face charges, including murder by torture, for allegedly suffocating a suspect to death, an incident exposed by a leaked video.
Prosecutors are currently reviewing 2,500 pages of evidence and aim to decide on indictments before the officers' detention periods expire in mid-November.
The high-profile case has sparked public discussion on police torture in Thailand and raised concerns about justice for powerful individuals.
