Cadet “Meay’s” family takes case to police

The family of a cadet whose death caught national attention turned up at a police station on Tuesday to “fight for justice”.
Supitcha Tanyakan, the elder sister of Phakhapong “Meay” Tanyakan, said she still had faith in the country’s judicial system.
She was speaking as her parents stood by her side at Muang Nakhon Nayok Police Station.
The Tanyakans have asked for a full and transparent probe into Phakhapong’s death, as they suspect he might have died as a result of excessive corporal punishment prescribed at the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (AFAPS).
Phakhapong, a first-year student at the AFAPS, almost died in August because of penalties more senior students imposed on him.
He was also subject to penalties on the day preceding his death on October 17.
