The Phuket Provincial Police Investigator Chief Col Akanit Danpitaksard says, “At this stage we believe that they were arguing about the taxi rank as Mr Songpon wanted to add more taxis while Paradon said that there are enough taxis at this stand already.”
The Patong Police Chief Col Anothai Jindamanee says, “An arrest warrant has been issued by the Phuket Provincial Court for 49 year old Paradorn Puchaiyan from Surat Thani for the murder and carrying gun in public.”
“The suspect is still at large. His relatives have tried to call him but no answer so far. We believe the suspect has already escaped from Phuket island.”
