The suspect was to then be immediately transferred by helicopter to Nong Prue police station, he said. Capt Samoraphum Chanto, commander of the marine unit in Trat, said the person to be sent is believed to have ordered the murder. The two had entered Thailand from Cambodia at the border in Khlong Yai district and fled to Cambodia through the same crossing on the day of the murder.
