An army conscript who sustained injuries and fell into a coma allegedly from a disciplinary session ordered by three senior conscripts 24 days ago died on Friday morning. His family later learned that Pvt Kacha's condition might have been the result of injuries following the disciplinary session in which three senior conscripts had allegedly beaten him. Mrs Runruedee said her son had served the army as a conscript for more than one year and he had another seven months to complete his service. The family had talked to the three senior conscripts and they admitted they had assaulted him during the so-called “disciplinary session,’’ said the mother. Army spokesman Col Winthai Suvaree said the army deeply regretted Kacha’s death.
