The Department of Special Investigation has delayed the prosecution of minor suspects on the Somchai Neelaphaijit case in order to prevent the masterminds from eluding the law, its director general Tharit Pengdit said on Thursday.
“It is not true that DSI has abandoned the case for the missing Muslim and human rights lawyer but in fact it is trying to unmask the masterminds,” he said, explaining his decision not to complete the investigative report at this juncture.
The report, if concluded now, would round up minions involved in the disappearance of Somchai, he said.The Department of Special Investigation has delayed the prosecution of minor suspects on the Somchai Neelaphaijit case in order to prevent the masterminds from eluding the law, its director general Tharit Pengdit said on Thursday.

He also dismissed speculation that the DSI could not win a conviction since it had failed to uncover the body of Somchai, presumed death. Based on precedents, convictions of murder cases did not rely on the discovery of the corpses alone, he said.
