"I congratulate Pol Lt Col Korrawat for his promotion, but villagers want him to carry on with the job until it is completed," Ms Pinnapa said. Mr Somsak said Pol Lt Col Korrawat will remain in his old post until his transfer receives royal endorsement. "I believe he will finish the probe within three months as promised," Mr Somsak said.
