Pol Gen Srivara said Thursday that he has ordered the case transferred from Cha-am police to the CSD's sub-division 5. The family made a formal request, saying they feared for their safety since several suspects involved in the case are the sons of local influential figures. According to the Police Region 7 commander, no official order has been received to transfer the case. She later left Mr Ake and returned to Mr Dechanon, who was told Mr Ake hurt her feelings. The victims said Teerapong had never met the attackers before and was only a friend of Mr Ake, adding several attackers were the sons of local influential figures.
