george Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 More police to be deployed on Koh Samui SURAT THANI: -- The Royal Thai Police will establish one more police station on Koh Samui in this southern province of Surat Thani aimed at providing better security to people, especially tourists, following a rape-murder of a Welsh student during New Year's holiday on the island , a senior police officer said Saturday. Pol. Maj. Gen. Sunthan Chayanond, Deputy Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 8, said Koh Samui still has insufficient numbers of police to look after the safety and property of both local residents living on the island and visiting tourists. He said the Royal Thai Police had planned to open another police station on Koh Samui to better cope with the growing population and expanding tourist trade on the island. Because of the circumstances of the recent crime, police will coordinate with other agencies in logging details of all fishing trawlers and crew that frequent at prominent tourist islands, including Koh Samui, Koh Pa-ngan and Koh Tao. The plan to boost the number of police personnel comes after the corpse of 21-year-old Welsh student Katherine Horton--attacked New Year's night--was found on January 2 floating offshore near a Koh Samui tourist beach. Police on Monday arrested two fishing trawler crewmen, Wichai Somkhaoyai, 24, of nearby Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and Bualoi Phothisit, 23, of northeastern Ubon Ratchathani Province, both of whom confessed to the rape and murder. According to investigators, DNA tests confirmed that both men had raped her. --TNA 2006-01-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
