The two were arrested with 20 anti-personnel fragmentation grenades in Bangkok’s Bang Sue district and had confessed to their crimes.
The court gave two years' prison time to both defendants, reducing the original sentence of four years due to their confession and cooperation with the investigation. However, only Phassanai will serve the two-year sentence as Krisada, on March 12, had already been given a life sentence by the Criminal Court for throwing a grenade on a stage during a rally of the People's Democratic Reform Committee, also known as yellow shirts, on January 19, at Victory Monument, resulting in one death and 26 injured.
