Myanmar Police Force will continue to take measures in accord with the law after a court ruling comes over the discharge of Victoria case suspect Aung Gyi from prison, police said during a press conference.
The press conference took place at the MPF headquarters in Nay Pyi Taw on December 19, with clarifications by Police Brigadier General Soe Naing Oo, CID Police Colonel Min Han, and CID Police Major Thar Tun.
A reporter asked the police how they would do to expose the real culprit after suspect Aung Gyi was discharged by the court.
"Until yesterday, the court concerned had yet to pass its ruling. After it comes, we will continue to take measures in accord with the law. We will act only in line with the law. The District Court should have given the reason for its ruling or sentence. They should have also given the reason why he was discharged. Even lawyers from both sides got surprised by the sudden release of the suspect when they came to the court," said Police Col Min Han.
He said the police force tried its best to build the case, but it was up to the court to release the suspect before prosecution.
Police Brig-Gen Soe Naing Oo said: "Regarding the case, we are not responsible for judicial affairs. Over the decision of the judge, we will continue to act in accordance with the law. It is true that the judicial sector has power to release suspect Aung Gyi. But the judge should have done this only after assessing all the plaintiff side has submitted."
Experts inspected the DVR+ Hard-disk of the CCTV from Wisdom Hill nursery school taken by the CID police. But now content was found in the disk. Police also said when the semen got from Victoria's sex organ was taken for a lab test, no sperm was found.
"The CID has its technology. When the case was dealt with, we asked them to inspect the type and quality of the hard-disk. When inspected, the hard-disk was found to carry no information. There was no evidence," said Police Brig-Gen Soe Naing Oo.
As regards the demand made by the victim's father that the glass slab containing the semen should be sent to Thailand for DNA test, the police explained that they would continue to act in accord with the law.
In response to a reporter's question about any malpractice or control from behind the scenes, Police Col Min Han said: "We didn’t have a made-up story at all. We are investing this case only in an honest manner. There is no control from behind the scenes. I bravely say that the headquarters doesn't control it either.
