Three Arrested Over Fatal Buriram Drug Robbery

Police arrested three suspects accused of shooting a lottery vendor dead and stealing methamphetamine tablets from him in Buriram. Pichit Chaiyaphum was discovered beside his motorcycle shortly after midnight on June 16 with four gunshot wounds to his chest. Investigators recovered a package containing approximately 150 yaba pills near the victim, although his relatives said they knew nothing about any involvement in drugs. Officers tracked the suspects to a resort in Aranyaprathet district of Sa Kaeo province and surrounded the accommodation before ordering them to surrender. One member of the group broadcast the arrest live on social media as police moved in.
