The officers searched the 5 houses of the target suspects in Koh Samui area. The main target was a house at Ban Rak Tawan, 120/4, Moo 1, Bophut sub-district, Koh Samui district which belongs to Mr. Samart Boonsin also known by the name Dang Chor for whom the police had already issued an arrest warrant for being one of the team connected to the contract murder of Mr. Panas.

Police officers have also reportedly also arrested Mr. Chanai Soksom, 50, a former Samui City Council candidate after being accused of hiring someone to murder Mr. Panas.

This shows again that the police know quite well what's going on 'out there in the jungle'.

Best outcome is the killers will be identified and maybe even go to jail (if the police are not directly involved).

Just a shame that even if they know who is the 'mastermind' he/she wont be prosecuted because of all the known reasons.
