Suspected Murderer of Real-Estate Businesswoman Surrenders

The murderer of a real-estate businesswoman in Hua Hin has turned himself in to police, but denied the allegations.

Deputy National Police Chief, Police General Pansiri Prapawat held a press conference to announce the surrender of 29-year-old Kawee Meekaew, a suspect in the murder of Hua Hin real-estate businesswoman Petcharat Sudsanoh.

Petcharat, owner of a major real-estate firm in Hua Hin, was shot dead in front of her office in Hua Hin on August 13.

After the incident, the suspect went into hiding in Bangkok to escape arrest.

The evidence gathered by police suggested that three men were involved in the killing of the businesswoman.

Two of them were arrested earlier.

They are 38-year-old Narin Srisawat and 48-year old Thiwat Boonyakul.

Kawee, however, denied the allegations, saying he only knew the two other suspects from a shooting range and was at a local market nearby when Petcharat was murdered.

Police say it is the right of the suspect to deny the charges, but they are confident there is enough evidence to prove Kawee is in fact the man who pulled the trigger.
