PHUKET:-- Police have today (Dec 13) confirmed that six people have been arrested so far in connection with the fatal shooting of the President of the Patong Tuk-Tuk Club Sakol Srisompotch on October 25. However, a seventh person, said to be the shooter, remains at large.

 

Kathu Police Deputy Chief Investigator Lt Col Amponwat Seangreung told The Phuket News today, “Now we are looking for the last suspect in this case who we believe is the shooter. He is Porjet Sukwanlee, 27.

 

“The most recent arrest was that of Ekkarat Ponprasit, 25, who surrendered at Kathu Police Station,” Lt Col Amponwat said but declined to give any further details on the arrest.

 

“Everyone arrested in connection with this case has denied all charges made against them,” he added.

 

Asked whether a forensic report had been received by his team, Lt Col Amponwat said, “Forensic police collected information on November 2. We have received a report from them about the getaway motorbike used in the crime and Mr Sakol’s tuk-tuk, however, we are still awaiting their report of the bullets found at the scene.”

Mr Sakol was shot dead in Kathu on Oct 25 in what police believe is a personal dispute.

Being the president of Patong Tuk Tuk's, must be like asking for trouble, is there a more hated group of "entrepreneurs" in Phuket?

wasn't he related to the former mayor of Patong, who accidentally deliberately mysteriously died.?

CSI is NOT real! It takes time to process things in real life.

I have never seen CSI. My question still stands in real life. Are you a certified forensic specialist? Do you have professional insight on this subject? What are your qualifications?

I don't feel I have to qualify my experience but the poster is right,  even in a developed criminal justice system due to cost and our numbers of cases some states in the US can take up to 4 weeks for results. 

I accept that can be done sooner or longer but most police forces won't even test them until required for court or to eliminate suspect. . . EVEN if they could actually identify an unknown suspect 

 

Juat As Worrying Is that Case Evidence Is Not Even Routinly tested In Every Case
