Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn, the task force chief, held a press conference yesterday to explain the controversy over the land located on Khao Misakok hill. The task force alleged that the area was still a forest defined under the 1941 forest law. He said the plot at that time was found violating the forest law because the woman had confessed to the crime. It was not proved yet whether it was in the forest area protected under the 1941 law, Samak claimed. Chaiwat, however, said he would like society to learn about ill-intentioned acts to claim state forest land.
