He was returning to Thailand to collect the body of his 26-year-old son who had committed suicide, police said yesterday.
Moon Wang Sik, who was wanted by the Phra Khanong Provincial Court, had fled to his home country, Lumpini Police Station investigator Pol Lieutenant Supakorn Sangklub said. 
However, the suspect claimed he had served his sentence for the crime in his home country. Thai police are awaiting information from their South Korean counterparts about the claim.
The suspect secured release on bail after paying Bt500,000 cash, Supakorn said. Police had asked him to give testimony on December 1 and banned him from leaving the Kingdom until then. 
Supakorn said the Korean told police he had come to collect the body of his son Moon Song Jun, who fell to his death from the 19th floor of a Yannawa condominium on November 16.
An informed source said the son stayed with his South Korean mother, who had worked at a Silom jewellery shop, at the rented condominium unit for the past five years. His mother returned to her home country in mid-October, but the son continued to stay in Thailand without going to school or work, the source said. He kept to himself and came down to buy food twice a day. 
Following the reported suicide, police said they did not find any sign of struggle in the room except a blood trail from the toilet to the balcony. The son had cuts on the left wrist and left thigh.
