A coordinated police operation is underway to apprehend Arm Hua Saphan, a suspect in the fatal shooting of a young mobile merchant in Phetchaburi Province.

Police Chief Wan Chai Khawram of Muang Phetchaburi Police Station opened an investigative team to track the suspect, who is the nephew of a high-ranking police officer. The operation involves searches at four locations to capture the suspect and ensure that the investigation remains free from undue influence.

The murder case that has shocked the local community entered its third day, with the police intensifying their manhunt for 30 year old Arm Hua Saphan. The tragic event occurred in the Hua Saphan subdistrict of Muang district in Phetchaburi, where Suthat, a 30 year old travelling salesman well-regarded for his good looks, lost his life to a gunman’s bullet.
