Two former naval officers, Taiwanese national arrested on murder charges

[webfact]

 

Two retired naval officers were arrested in Bangkok this morning by Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police on murder charges, in connection with the death of a Taiwanese national.

 

Another Taiwanese man was also arrested for allegedly hiring the other two suspects, a former rear admiral and a captain, to murder his own son.

 

Led by Pol Maj-Gen Montri Thetkhan, commander of the CSD, officers surrounded a house in the Lat Krabang area, which belongs to the retired rear admiral, and told him to come out because they had a court-issued arrest warrant for him.

Is it just me but not much of a house for a Rear Admiral!

From the link:

A CSD source says that they had received a complaint from a Taiwanese man, claiming that he had received a death threat from some retired naval officers, prompting the CSD to launch an investigation. The complainant was later found dead and is believed to have been the victim of a contract murder, allegedly involving his own father

 

Investigation was a tad slow for the poor fella.

Could be the other suspect's property, the retired Captain.

Looks like the CIB sent a couple of their men to observe fair play by the CSD.

It could be the captain's house. They are used to living in a cabin!

I presume that is an innuendo, but he does have Box on his rear entrance oooh 'er missus.
