The Department of Special Investigation admits its probe into the death of Gen Romklao Thuwatham, an army officer killed during the 2010 protests, has made little progress.

Nicha Hirunburana Thuwatham, the widow of Gen Romklao, asked Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra during their meeting on Tuesday about whether investigators had made any breakthroughs in her husband's case.

Pol Lt Col Wannapong Khacharak, who is in charge of the investigation, said finding evidence is becoming more difficult as time passes. All investigators had obtained so far are conflicting witness accounts of the incident that took place on Din So Road on April 10, 2010.

From public records.

Sae Daeng went to Dubai (twice). He stated in one interview he would set up "Ninja's "dressed in black to defend reds. He explained the black uniform was to intimidate and to identify his armed ninja warriors .

Men armed will assorted weapons including one with a rocket launcher and AK47 , identifiable by his big hooked nose, were seen creeping along the wall among red shirts heading towards troops at the intersection where Col. Romklao was stationed.

Shortly after Col. Romklao was dead. To my knowledge not one killer of troops or civilians has been identified. ( reds were paid protestors not civilians)
