Liu said that according to the national criminal procedure law, the maximum sentence for the three crimes charged, including intentional homicide, transporting drugs, and kidnapping, is the death sentence.
Liu said it's the first time in Chinese judicial history that six police officers and 10 witnesses from Thailand appeared in court to identify Naw Kham's gang's crimes, which is "a breakthrough for judicial operations between China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand."
"The operation will be set as an example for future cross-border crimes targeting overseas Chinese," he said.
"Security on the Mekong River has improved after the tragedy," Guo Zhiqiang, owner of Yu Xing 8, said.
