Nearly three years after the tragic death of Tangmo, Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has reopened the case. The new investigation is unique in its kind, combining advanced technology, increased judicial scrutiny and social media as part of a broader strategy to ensure justice. The national attention surrounding the case has not waned, and this new review aims to provide answers to questions that previously left many without confidence in the justice system.
Advanced technology in the legal system
Technology is playing a crucial role in the ongoing investigation. DSI is using laser scanning to recreate crime scenes in 3D, providing an incredibly detailed picture of the environment where Tangmo lost his life. By scanning the river Chao Phraya investigators can accurately analyze location data and map possible movement patterns.
Additionally, satellite imagery has been combined with advanced AI to analyze video footage and social media data. The technology makes it possible to track down details that might otherwise have been overlooked and create a digital reconstruction of the events. It is a groundbreaking approach to forensics in Thailand and demonstrates a willingness to use modern solutions to reach the truth.
Review of the legal process
A key focus of the new inquiry is to investigate allegations of evidence tampering. Previous reports have raised suspicions that crucial details may have been altered or concealed to benefit certain parties. The current review aims to get to the bottom of these allegations and provide a transparent response to the public.
With the general suspicion surrounding previous investigations, the DSI has also emphasized the importance of fairness and transparency. The investigation is an opportunity to demonstrate that the Thai legal system can handle even the most contentious cases in an objective and professional manner.
The influence of social media
Social media has played an unexpected but important role in this case. TikTok, in particular, has become a platform where users have shared their thoughts and discoveries. By reviewing old videos and images, ordinary citizens have identified potentially new evidence. These posts have helped keep the case current and put pressure on the legal system to act.
The dialogue on social media has also created a bridge between society and the legal system. It is an example of how digital platforms can be used to amplify the voice of citizens and provide new perspectives on ongoing investigations. Although some posts may be speculative, many users have managed to put forward valuable observations that are now being included in the investigation.
A path to justice
The investigation is expected to last six months, but investigators have already indicated that the timeframe could be extended if new findings are made. The goal is not only to solve the mystery surrounding Tangmo’s death, but also to restore public confidence in Thailand’s justice system. The combination of advanced technology, forensics, and social dialogue could be a crucial step towards justice in a case that has long dominated both national and international attention.
