Witnesses in Banyin case may face perjury chargesPolice are considering laying charges of giving false statements against some witnesses in a case related to a prison break plan involving former-deputy commerce minister Banyin Tangpakorn. Mr Woraphat on Thursday denied involvement in the alleged escape bid and insisted he was not a friend of Natthapol. Mr Woraphat said they met in prison during a visit and he had asked Natthapol about his father who was detained in the same section. Mr Woraphat, however, admitted to having communicated with Natthapol over the phone about general topics. According to Pol Col Anake, police agents learned Natthapol contacted Mr Woraphat after the former policeman was released on bail.
