Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) carried out “Operation Land Shark,” leading to the arrest of a fugitive wanted on two murder warrants dating back over 19 years.

 

The operation, led by Highway Police under CIB’s direction, culminated in the apprehension of Prasert (surname withheld), who was wanted in Songkhla for serious crimes, including premeditated murder and illegal possession of firearms.

 

The first warrant, issued on 21 November 2006 by Songkhla Provincial Court, charged Prasert with premeditated murder and illegal firearm possession. The second warrant, dated 11 June 2007, related to intentional murder and attempted murder.

 

The investigation revealed that Prasert had evaded authorities by moving between various provinces.

 

Aided by intelligence tracking, authorities narrowed his location to a rental room in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi.

 

After verifying his presence, police secured a search warrant from Pattaya Provincial Court. They conducted surveillance around the premises and apprehended Prasert, who confirmed his identity and acknowledged the charges.

 

Following his arrest, Prasert was transferred to Bang Klam Police Station in Songkhla for further legal proceedings, reported Siam Rath.

 

Prasert confessed to all charges during initial questioning. For more information, contact Police Capt. Phikanes Treamkoetsap at 09 5252 5868.

I've got deja-vu.  Wasn't this the case where a cop heard the suspect's name in a hospital where the killer's mother was called out over a tannoy?

See they can find one before statue of limitations, but not around 20 for Tak Bai, and the little Bull-Boy still running free poking his horns in the rest of the world.
