Fugitive wanted for attempted murder captured after 20 years on the run

[webfact]

 

A fugitive suspected of attempted murder and evading capture for nearly two decades was ultimately arrested by police In Nakhon Si Thammarat. The fugitive in question had been employed as a firefighter at the Khu Khwang Fire Station.

 

The arrest for attempted murder on October 12 was conducted by a unit from the Crime Suppression Division (CSD), acting on an arrest warrant issued by the Trang Provincial Court.

 

Forty-one-year-old Sittiphon was charged with conspiring to attempt murder and unauthorised possession of firearms and ammunition.

 

The origin of the attempted murder can be traced back to December 2003. At that time, Sittiphon was a college student.

One fateful day, while he was having drinks with friends outside his rented apartment, a group including a man known only as Santichai, his three friends, and his girlfriend passed by Sittiphon’s place.

After 20 years they got the man... does the country not have a national data-base that keeps tracks of his ID and any changes made to it?

Attempted murder was the charge , not murder ...

Seem they know where these crims. are all the time, this happens quite a lot here, just before the 20yrs expires. Are they trying to impress us, as if they've been working hard on a case for 19yrs and 11 months.

Singapore (and a few other fascist police states) do this.
