PHUKET: The two Philippine politicians who lived in Rawai for three years as fugitives wanted for murdering a prominent environmental activist in the Philippines were presented to Phuket Provincial Court yesterday (Sept 22).

The pair were taken to Bangkok to be presented to the press by Royal Thai Police Crime Suppression Division commander Pol Maj Gen Akradej Pimolsri on Monday (Sept 21). (See story here.)

The Reyes brothers today (Sept 23) were being detained at Chalong Police Station, confirmed Chalong police investigator Pol Lt Col Jamroon Plaiduang.

“Right now, we are waiting for court documents at Chalong Police Station. Then, both men will be handed over to Phuket Immigration, who will handle the deportation,” Pol Lt Col Jamroon told The Phuket News.

The deportation of the Reyes, the alleged masterminds of the killing of broadcaster and environmental activist Gerry Ortega, has been tentatively set for Thursday (Sept 24), according to the Philippines’ Justice Secretary, Leila de Lima, reports the Inquirer.

De Lima, in an interview with reporters, said Philippine National Police operatives will fetch the Reyes brothers in Bangkok, and escort the suspects back to the country. (See story here.)
