Thai court examines 1946 King Ananda Mahidol death case petition for reopening.
A Thai court is hearing a petition to reopen the 1946 death case of King Ananda Mahidol, who was found shot dead at 20. He was Rama VIII and uncle to the present Thai monarch. Initial investigations blamed a plot led by then-Prime Minister Pridi Banomyong, and three palace officials were executed as accessories to the king's murder. The petition aims to revisit this contentious case from Thailand's history.
