KRABI: Police are still searching for suspects involved in the murder of a village headman and his family on Tuesday.

Worayuth Sunglung, a village headman in Krabi’s Ao Luk district, and seven of his family members were gunned down at their home while three others survived with serious injuries (story here).

The only family member unscathed was Mr Worayuth’s three-month-old baby. 

National police chief Gen Chaktip Chaijinda, who is now in Krabi, yesterday evening refused to confirm whether any arrest has been made and said he will call a press conference ‘later’.

The current investigation suggests that a stone-mill conflict may have led to the crime. Mr Worayuth reportedly received a huge sum of money from the developers but failed to win locals’ support for the project.
