Chief justice: No bail for Kamnan Poh

The Supreme Court in March 2012 upheld the 25-year jail term given to Somchai, 73, and former member of the Chon Buri Saensuk Municipality Council Passakorn Homhuan, 44, for masterminding the murder of tambon Tha Samet Kamnan Prayoon Sitthichoke at a wedding party on March 9, 2003.

Mr Tawee said after police finished questioning him, Somchai would be sent to the Criminal Court.
