PHUKET: Police have arrested the man wanted for the vicious beating of a 71-year-old gold shop owner in Phuket Town last Saturday night (Oct 23), which saw the robber make off with  gold items worth a reported B8 million.

 

Police have confirmed that the suspect was arrested at a care care centre on Wichit Songkram Rd in Phuket Town at 7:30am yesterday (Oct 26), but are still waiting for a top-ranking police officer to announce the man’s identity at a press conference.

 

A photo of the suspect, with his face blurred, has been provided to The Phuket News, but no other details of his identity.

on this occasion I support the use of the plastic bag (but not to extort money)

You’d think there would be a ‘top ranking identity announcer’ on call 24/7.
