Police suspect Spanish victim killed by man of same nationality
Police are on the hunt for a Spanish suspect who is believed to be involved in the murder of David Bernat, also a Spanish national, whose body parts were found in the Chao Phraya River a few days ago.
Initial investigation showed that the suspect Artur Princep Segarra received Bt37 million from Bernat’s account in a Singaporean bank, chief investigator Pol General Panya Mamen said.
Segarra later withdrew the money from ATMs in different locations in Bangkok and other provinces. The last withdrawal was made at 4pm on Thursday from a Kasikorn Bank ATM in Ayutthaya’s Wang Noi district, he said.
Last week, body parts were found washed up at the banks of the Chao Phraya in different locations, including Charansanitwong 42, in Nonthaburi’s Muang and Pak Kret districts as well as in Pathum Thani province. DNA tests revealed that the body parts belonged to the same man, who was later identified as Bernat.
The body was identified following DNA tests and fingerprint matching after Bernat’s friends and family reported him missing when he failed to make contact with him for over a week.
