A gruesome murder of a Thai woman, who lived 22 years in Denmark, reacheda new stage. The provincial court in Samutprakarn south of Bangkok dismissed the case against her two alleged killers on the grounds that the key witnesses – the parents of the 42 year old woman - had changed their testimony too many times for their evidence to be credible.
The public prosecutor had tried to prove that the murder was committed by a witch doctor and his assistant while allegedly trying to beat an evil spirit out of the body of the woman. The witch doctor, Mr. Sombat, and his Chinese assistant, Mrs Li-chu, denied that they used any form of violence against the woman.
