The police is planning to seek court permission to conduct a search at the house of Democrat MP Kanchit Thapsuwan, who is currently the prime suspect in the murder of Samut Sakhon Provincial Administrative Organisation's chairman.
Kanchit surrendered to police to face the murder charges, but has said he will only speak in court. Therefore, police do not have any evidence relating Kanchit to the case.
“We will ask for court permission to search other areas as well. We will try to locate the gun used in the crime,” Colonel Jamraeng Sudjai, chief of the Muang Samut Sakhon police station, said.
According to an informed source, the Samut Sakhon Election Commission decided to hold an election yesterday for the new chairman of the Samut Sakhon Provincial Administrative Organisation on February 19. The post became vacant upon the suspected murder of Udon Kraiwatnusorn.
