Yasuaki and Eiko Kawashita made the request during a meeting with DSI director-general Paisit Wongmuang at the department's head office in Bangkok on Thursday. Pol Col Paisit said the DSI had taken over the case in 2013 and the investigation had continued since then. The DSI would ask Japanese police to contact that person for DNA comparison, Pol Col Paisit said.
