Sap Wapee, the alleged hired scapegoat in a 2005 deadly hit-and-run case involving former teacher Jomsap Saenmuangkhot, and his wife pleaded guilty to lying to police at a court hearing Monday. The nine other accused are Ms Jomsap; Niran, her husband; Suriya Nualcharoen, and Saneh Suphan and Rotjana Chantharat, both Jomsap's friends. Speaking before the court hearing, Ms Thongret, one of the other nine accused, said she never thought she would end up in the dock in Ms Jomsap's case. The incident, Ms Thongret said, took place when she was riding pillion on a motorcycle driven by Ms Thatsanee, her neighbour. Ms Thongret insisted she was not involved in the alleged scapegoat conspiracy.
