On August 7, 2016, the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court Judgment
stated their finding that all six people died after being shot by a bullet
of 223 or 5.58 mm. The shooter was most likely position on the BTS sky
train in front of Wat Pathumwanaram Ratchaworawihan and Rama 1 Road
in the area of Ratchaprasong Intersection according to the order of the
government’s Centre for Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES).
Ms. Payao hoped that the prosecutor would file a suit to bring the
perpetrator to justice. However, she was disappointed that the government
under then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra issued an amnesty act.
Ms. Phayao and the families of the deceased publicly objected to the
amnesty declaration, protesting with students and the public.
Every year, the Akahaad family and the families of the deceased
hold a commemorative event. It is a merit making and symbolic activity
even though it is only a merit-making event, there are difficulties. The
request to use the temple as a venue takes a week to process. The
commemorative event is always visited by police and military officers,
who also come to their homes in uniform and in plainclothes. In addition,
when there is a memorial event, many police and army officers will
attend and make a record of the activity as a means of intimidation.
On December 10, 2018, Ms. Phayao joined the “Mime” activity,
where she wore the nursing volunteer uniform that her daughter wore
before her death. This event also included pictures of the dissolution
of the May 2010 protests, with pictures of government and army leaders
of that time.
