PHUKET: -- Police have held firm on withholding any explanation behind why a gun-blazing hitman attempted to kill a Phuket Imam in August, but promise that the hunt for the remaining suspect goes on.

 

Weerachart Kahapana, Imam of Baan Bangpae Mosque in Pa Khlok, came under attack at 7:45pm on August 4, when two men on a motorbike rode alongside his car while he was driving home and opened fire.

 

Imam Weerachart was shot once in the abdomen. His 3-year-old son, who was sitting on the back seat, was unharmed.

 

“From the police investigation there are only two factors to blame: personal conflict and conflict within an organisation involving Imam Weerachart,” Phuket Provincial Police Deputy Chief Col Sermphan Sirikong told The Phuket News today (Dec 14).
