The manager of Nida "Tangmo" Patcharaveerapong has admitted to a false statement charge by the police.
Police are targeting another man believed to have guided all five people on board the boat from which the actress fell to her death on how to finesse their statements to authorities.
Police said on Monday Idsarin “Gatick’’ Juthasuksawat confessed to police that she had given false statements to investigators.
She was charged with giving false statements to police which could cause damage to other people. The charge carries a fine of up to 4,000 baht and/or a maximum jail term of two years.
She went to the police station with former Palang Pracharath Party MP Sira Jenjaka, who is now her advisor.
Mr Sira said Ms Idsarin had told police the full truth and warned the other four people on the speedboat to tell the truth.
She was one of the five people on the speed boat when Nida fell into the Chao Phraya River on Feb 24.
Police will press charges against another person believed to be offering advice to all five people on the boat on how they should talk to investigators.
The police station chief said the sixth suspect was not lawyer Sittra Biabungkerd, who met two people after the incident and refused to accept them as his clients.
