Jail for rioters

Four suspects accused in a riot-related case have been jailed.

One of accused received a sentence of five years behind bars, but his co-defendants were handed down three years each.

The accused are said to have been among the 15 vandals who rioted on December 18 last year in Buri.

They allegedly poured petrol on tyres and set them on fire. They fled, but the first and second defendant were captured in connection with another incident and later admitted to participating in the sabotage.
