Police say no evidence yet to indicate Thai actress’s death was foul play, mother turns to Senate

13 Sept 13:12 Key points summarised by AI

Royal Thai Police spokesperson stated that current evidence, including witness statements, indicates negligence rather than foul play in the death of actress Nida Patcharaveerapong ("Tangmo"), with no evidence of illicit substance use on the speedboat.
Investigators have questioned 77 witnesses, examined 60 surveillance cameras and 20 video clips, and confirmed the five friends on board admitted to drinking alcohol.
A crucial test result on Nida's leg injury (pre or post-mortem) is expected in a week, which will be vital in determining if her death was murder, an accident, or an act of negligence.
Nida's mother, cousin, and lawyer have sought assistance from the Senate’s human rights committee to ensure transparency and fairness in the handling of the case, a petition received by Senator Somchai Swangkarn.
