CAMBODIAN police have arrested a Thai woman who together with four Taiwanese men are wanted in the murder of another Taiwanese man whose body was found at an abandoned restaurant on Suvarnabhumi Airport road 4 on Sunday (Feb. 25) with all five having fled to the neighbouring country within hours of his death, Naewna newspaper said.
Deputy National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Thana Chuwong said the Cambodian authorities were able to arrest Ms. Piyanuch (surname withheld), 23, who is the owner of a red sedan in which the deceased man’s body was taken and dumped at this abandoned restaurant.
She is now being questioned and is believed to be the key to solving this case.
He confirmed that the suspects arrived in Thailand at 2 a.m. last Sunday and left at 5 a.m. but it is as yet not known whether they came here to specifically kill this man.
However questioning of Piyanuch will shed light on this case, he said, adding what is certain is that the motive stemmed from some illegal activity.
The Thai suspect will be brought back to Thailand after interrogation has been completed.
Cambodian police are chasing three of the four Taiwanese men wanted in this case as they are still hiding there with one of them having flown back to Taiwan. Thai police are coordinating with Taiwanese authorities to trace him.
Another person who assisted the five suspects has been arrested with this being the driver of a van hired by them to take them to the Thai-Cambodian border. He is being questioned about involvement in this case but has claimed that he only drove them to the border.
