Attorney Decha advises the families of the victims of the bootleg liquor case to file a civil lawsuit against 'Ms. Pu' and her two siblings for damages, or to request to be a co-plaintiff when the case reaches the prosecutor's office to claim compensation. Lawyer Decha Kittiwittayanan gave his opinion and advised the families of the deceased and the victims on how to claim compensation from the distributors and manufacturers of illicit liquor in the case of the illicit liquor cluster, which has resulted in 6 deaths and 22 patients still being treated in hospitals. He said that as far as he knew, the criminal case was already being prosecuted by the investigators of the relevant agencies. If the perpetrators were the same person and there were multiple deaths, both civil and criminal lawsuits could be filed, or the police could wait to take legal action. When it reached the prosecutor level, they requested to be a joint plaintiff to claim compensation under Section 44/1, which could be done in 2 ways. Lawye r Decha added that in such a case, when there are many people involved in the violation, they must be jointly liable, such as Ms. Pu, who is the seller. Even though she may not have known, she thought that she was negligent and did not check. How could she buy illegal liquor and mix it with herbal liquor? This falls under the category of an offense under the Excise Act regarding the sale of illegal liquor, and a criminal offense for negligence causing bodily harm to others, and negligence causing the death of others, which is punishable by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years. As for the person who mixed the illegal liquor, he may fall under the category of intentional murder, which is punishable by the maximum penalty of death, and an offense under the Excise Act.
