A murderer - an ex-army sergeant - will be released on parole after serving less than five years of a 33-year sentence.
The mother of the victim - who was strangled to death and her body burned in 2014 - cried foul after finding out the man convicted of her daughter's murder is set to be released, decades early, on parole this year.
Patcharee Punthong also lodged an appeal with the Justice Ministry asking to review the parole granted to Polkrit Wiset, a former army sergeant sentenced to 33 years and 11 months over the death of her daughter, Ploynarin Palipol.
She learned that Polkrit is eligible for parole despite serving only four years and six months for the crime.
Ms Patcharee said that after learning about her daughter's death she had fought for justice for almost four years only to learn that the man responsible was soon to walk free.
She said she had not received any compensation from the man and had safety concerns if he was released.
The Crime Victims Assistance Club said on Wednesday the inmate received a number of sentence reductions even before the case was finalised and suspected irregularities in the process.
Polkrit was arrested for the abduction and murder of Ploynarin in 2017 in Nakhon Ratchasima, three years after she went missing.
