13 Sept 06:55Key points summarised by AI
Police concluded TV actress Nida Patcharaveerapong (Tangmo) died from suffocation due to drowning, caused by someone else's negligence, ruling out both accident and murder.
Investigators found a deep laceration on Nida's leg consistent with a boat propeller, a finding supported by forensic simulations.
Six individuals, including the five people on board the speedboat and an advisor, face charges such as negligence causing death, giving false statements, and attempting to destroy evidence.
The extensive two-month investigation involved over 2,000 pages of evidence and 124 witnesses, with the case file now submitted to public prosecutors.
