Police have sought an arrest warrant for a medical student at the centre of the dog-poisoning scandal.
“He twice failed to answer our summons,” Pol Colonel Termpao Siriphubarn, superintendent of the Bangkok-based Suttisarn Police Station, said Friday.
The suspect, who is diagnosed with mentalhealth problems, is accused of poisoning a dog in the hope of claiming compensation from a transport service provider. His lawyer has tried to postpone his answering to the charges, citing his health problems.
The story first broke on social media, attracting huge public attention.
