PM will reward police team for resolving Koh Tao murder case

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said Friday that he would offer rewards to the police team for their well-done job in their successful resolving of the murder of two British tourists on Koh Tao in mid-September.

He said that he had received a report about the progress of the case from Pol Gen Somyos Poompanmuang, the national police chief on Thursday when three suspects were arrested and an update report the following day when DNA samples of the two suspects, migrant workers from Myanmar, were proven to match with those found in the body of one of the victims.

The prime minister said he was confident that the police had done a good job and that the two suspects were not scapegoats. As such, he added that the police team responsible for resolving the case deserved to be praised and rewarded.

General Prayuth said he could not predict that tourism situation would be improved or not after the successful resolving of the murder case because there are other factors which may have impacts on the tourism industry.

He pleaded with the media not to link the murder case to tourism in general because they were not connected.

When asked whether martial law should be lifted in tourist destinations, the prime minister declined to give an answer questioning whether killings would stop if martial law was to be lifted.

I surely hope he is accepting something that can be proven to be real and not a stitch-up to expedite a solution to this investigation - if not, he will certainly have a lot on egg-on-face to clean up.
