Krabi massacre suspects handed over to police
All eight suspects in the massacre of a family in Krabi province were handed over to police Friday.
National Police Commissioner Pol General Chaktip Chaijinda turned up at the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 15th Infantry regiment in Krabi’s Khlong Tom district himself to take custody of the suspects, which includes a woman.
The ongoing investigation suggests Surifath “Bang Fath” Bannopwongsakul led the alleged accomplices in the raid on the home of Krabi village head Worayuth Sunglung on July 10, killing him as well as seven other family members. Three other victims in the house survived the attack.
The arrests took place last week.
All suspects were transferred to Muang Krabi Police Station amid tight security. More than 500 policemen were mobilised as suspects re-enacted the crimes.
