Senator Somchai Swangkarn on Tuesday called on the prime minister to order an investigation into the early release of former Democrat Party MP Khanchit Thapsuwan, who was freed from jail after almost eight years for masterminding a murder in 2011.
The Supreme Court in December 2016 upheld a life sentence handed down to Khanchit for the premeditated murder in 2011 of Udon Kraiwatnusorn, a former president of the Samut Sakhon provincial administrative organisation.
