Police in Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat are holding a Thai man for questioning, to try to establish his connection with a human trafficking gang responsible for smuggling 32 undocumented migrant workers from Myanmar, four of whom were killed and four others injured in a fatal road accident in the province yesterday (Wednesday).

 

The accident occurred on the Asian highway in Chulabhorn district.

 

The man, Niwat Watwan, who escaped injury in the accident, denied any involvement in the trafficking of the migrants, but several of them claimed that he was the one who handled them.

I'd set the sentence for smuggling migrants at 1 year a migrant - so that's a nice 32 year stint for me
