“He is now in police custody and being grilled,” a police source said on Friday.
Worayuth Sunglung, a village head in Krabi’s Ao Luk district, was shot execution-style inside his own home alongside his family. Eight victims including Worayuth died and three others survived. The only family member unharmed was Worayuth’s three-month-old son.
An investigation suggests that a conflict over a failing stone-mill project might have led to the merciless murders.
“A police team is now heading to Nakhon Si Thammarat where the alleged gunmen have gone into hiding,” the source said.
