The suspect wanted in connection with the murder of a bailed drug suspect over the weekend in Jomtien, has now given himself up to Police. On Sunday afternoon Pattaya Police confirmed they had formally arrested Khun Nut aged 34, whose real name is Khun Sa-hus who had confessed to the murder of Khun Somyot aged 39 outside of his Mother’s house in Jomtien on Saturday morning. A reconstruction of the murder was held on Sunday afternoon under the watchful eye of the Provincial Police Commander Police Major General Katcha. The suspect was wearing a bullet proof jacket and extra Police Officers were drafted in, as members of the victim’s family had promised retribution as soon as they saw the suspect. Khun Sa-hus confirmed he fled the scene following the shooting and hid his 38 Caliber firearm in bushes close to Makro Supermarket in Jomtien but he soon decided that because he was well known to Police and others as a prolific drug dealer in the area, the chances of him eluding capture were slim. He then handed himself in and since then has fully cooperated with Police investigators who were told that because he suspected the victim had named him as a drug dealer to Police, his arrest was inevitable and in revenge for this he decided to end the victim’s life. He was later charged with murder and awaits trial.
