Thai agency says army did not kill Reuters cameraman "That conclusion contradicts a preliminary finding in a DSI report leaked to Reuters in December, which indicated the bullet that killed the Japanese journalist on April 10 came from the direction of troops.
DSI Director-General Tharit Pengdith said the bullet came from an AK-47, which did not match weapons used by soldiers in the street in Bangkok that day.
'Now we know for sure the bullet that killed him was a Russian-made AK-47, which we do not have for military use,' Tharit told Reuters, adding there would be a news conference on Monday to outline the findings.
Muramoto, 43, was based in Tokyo and had come to Bangkok to help cover anti-government 'red shirt' protests that lasted from March to mid-May last year. He was among 91 civilians and members of the security forces killed during the unrest."
