monty Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 From Pattaya Daily news: Police released a sketch of a man suspected of killing two Russian victims. Head investigator Pol Lt-General Assawin Khwanmueng said later the sketch was drawn based on accounts of an eyewitness now under protection. The officer said the witness called the sketch a "remarkable resemblance" of the gunman he saw shooting the victims. The police said the image was taken from video footage from security cameras at a convenience store near the Dragon hotel where they stayed, police did not clarify whether the mug shot of the unidentified man who appears to be a Thai man aged around 25, was produced from the blurry camera image - later enhanced electronically - or if it simply matched a profile in their criminal records after the visual enhancement was done. Prize money for information leading to the arrest of the killer/s was increased to Bt. 500,000.

The suspect was identified as Anuchit Lamlert of Kaomaikaew district in Chon Buri province. He had criminal record of robbing foreigners in Pattaya. Police claimed that after long interrogation, Anuchi confessed that he killed the Russian women on Saturday. After that, he escaped by riding a motorcycle to Banglamung district and threw away a 9mm gun into a bush on the way. It is still unclear what was his motivation of killing the ladies, but police claimed that it was just a robbery. However the slain women's belongings were untouched. Police are now using metal detector to search for the gun at the place he claimed he dropped it.
