A murder suspect heading to the court trial was shot dead in downtown Samut Sakhon's Muang district Thurday morning.
Police suspected he was killed because some people feared he would reveal the murder mastermind’s name.
On his way to testify about the Mahachai anticoal activist Thongnak Sawekjinda's murder, the suspect Sutchadech Thabkrai, 28, was shot while waiting for a green light at intersection in front of Tisco Bank, only 100 meters away from the Muang Samut Sakhon police station.
It was reported the group of gunmen drove the same pickup truck used in the assassination of Thongnak.
