22 Sept 13:31 Key points summarised by AI

Indictments for six suspects in the death of Thai actress Nida Patcharaveerapong (Tangmo) have been postponed to August 3rd, marking the second such delay.
The postponement is attributed to unspecified technical problems preventing the case file from being returned from regional prosecutors, not an intentional delay.
The six suspects, including the speedboat owner, helmsman, and Nida's manager, face charges ranging from causing death through negligence to giving false statements and drug abuse, all are currently out on bail.
Nida died in February after falling from a speedboat; police concluded her death was due to recklessness, not murder, following a lengthy investigation.
