Jarupan Woonsuwan was released by order of the Appeals Court Region 8 after serving almost seven years at Thung Song Prison, said deputy permanent secretary for justice Dussadee Arayawuth.

Jarupan filed a petition with the ministry, claiming she didn’t hire Thawatchai Phokaew to kill her husband for Bt80,000. After Jarupan passed a lie detection test, Thawatchai admitted to wrongly implicating her and was jailed for 18 months for the additional charge of providing false testimony, Dussadee said.
