PHUKET: A man wanted on drug charges in Phuket was killed in a shootout with police at his family home in Nakhon Sri Thammarat this morning (Aug 31). One Phuket police officer and a Phuket Territorial Defense Volunteer were injured in the gunfight, and a second Phuket police officer suffered a gash to his neck when he was attacked by the slain fugitive’s father, who was wielding a scythe.

 

Officers from Kamala Police Station had tracked down Udom ‘Ae’ Rattanamanee, 46, to his family home in Moo 12, Tambon Kamlon, Lan Saka District, explained Lan Saka Police Chief Col Somkit Damklieng.

 

Udom had fled Phuket after being arrested in 2018 for his role in attempting to smuggle into Phuket 39,820 methamphetamine (ya bah) pills hidden in toy remote-controlled cars that were delivered to Phuket from Bangkok by a private parcel delivery service.
