Prosecutors reject police case file on Siam Paragon shooting
13 Sept 15:01Key points summarised by AI
Prosecutors rejected the case file for the 14-year-old Siam Paragon shooting suspect, citing an unlawful police inquiry.
The police inquiry was deemed unlawful because it proceeded without waiting for the suspect's complete mental health assessment.
A psychiatrist concluded the boy was mentally unfit to stand trial, unable to understand charges, communicate, or control his emotions.
The police can resume the inquiry process once the suspect is mentally fit, with a 20-year statute of limitations for the case.
