A female colonel and a physician were arrested Wednesday for leading an 80-million-baht drug corruption scheme at Bangkok's Veterans General Hospital.

PROVINCIAL POLICE Region 4 chief Pol Lt-General Surachai Khuantechakhup yesterday said police officers would be justified in adopting a “shoot to kill” stance against the elusive drug suspect Suriyan Lekphet, who shot dead a policeman and injured another in Kalasin’s Tha Khantho district on Thursday, if he resisted their attempts to arrest him.
