No new evidence uncovered in suspect's ranch
Play
Investigators yesterday failed in yet another attempt to find additional evidence on the ranch owned by a police doctor who is suspected of having murdered three people.
However, police did get to apprehend one of the suspect’s wives, who might possibly provide more information.
Wilsa Janthabanchorn, one of Pol Colonel Dr Suphat Laohawatthana’s four wives, is being questioned under police custody in Phetchaburi province, where the suspect’s ranch is located.
She has been on the run since news broke of three skeletal remains being discovered on the doctor’s property.
Tha Mai Ruak police in Phetchaburi yesterday searched the ranch again yesterday and also pumped water out of a large pond on the property.
Taking part in the search were three sniffer dogs as well as crime-scene investigation officials equipped with metal detectors. The hunt had to be called off at 3pm due to heavy rains.
Officials also searched the concrete pillars that were believed to contain bodies, but turned up nothing.
The court, meanwhile, has extended Suphat’s detention by another 12 days as requested by police.
