Arrest warrants issued over Krabi family massacre

By The Nation

 

 

The Krabi Court has issued arrest warrants for eight suspects in relation to the massacre of a village head and his family members last week.

 

The suspects have been detained and interrogated at the 15th Infantry Battalion in Klong Thom district after an order under the interim charter’s all-powerful Article 44 allowed security officers to detain them without warrants for up to a week. 

 

The eight are alleged mastermind Surifath “Bang Fath” Bannoppawongsakul, Prachak Boontoy, Khomsan Wiangnon, Abdulloh Doloh, Arun Thongkham, Thawatchai Boonkhong, Thanachai Chamnong and Chalita Sangkhachote.

 

The July 10 massacre reportedly related to a land and financial dispute shocked the nation after Worayuth Sunglung, a village head in Krabi’s Ao Luk district, and 10 of his family members were found shot execution-style. 

 

Eight of the victims were killed including women and children.

Why only the lady's face obscured? Let's hope there is no issue over identification now their images are all over the media.

 

Most countries would call these "warrants of detention" or "remands in custody" as they have already been arrested, so no warrant of arrest necessary.

A post that was "a little off topic" has been removed, this is not about the recent immigration crackdown.
