Migrants' help sought over missing couple
Play
Phetchaburi police are hunting for Karen migrants from Myanmar based in Tak, as they might supply information on whether a migrant couple missing for three years was murdered by a police doctor.
Pol Colonel Phichai Pokpong, chief of Tha Mak Ruak police, said yesterday the witnesses used to work at the pineapple plantation run by Pol Colonel Suphat Laohawatthana, the doctor. They were present during a dispute between Suphat and the couple – Samart Noomjui and his wife Orasa Kerdsab – and supposedly know about the disappearance of the couple.
If the witnesses are back in Myanmar, they will be summoned by Myanmar police for questioning by Thai immigration police in Tak’s Mae Sot district, Phichai said.
