(Bangkok Post file photo)SURAT THANI - The military court at the 45th Military Circle approved arrest warrants Wednesday for nine soldiers suspected of being involved in the April 1 death of an army private who was allegedly beaten while in detention. The court said this particular suspect doesn't not pose a risk of meddling with witnesses or evidence in the investigation into this case, said Maj Gen Wichai. The court instead asked police investigators to take Sgt Suraches to face charges without a warrant, Maj Gen Wichai said. Once the arrest warrants were granted Wednesday, the nine suspects were detained at the the 45th Military Circle. Five of them were immediately suspended from duty pending further investigation, said Maj Gen Wichai.
