Now for the update:
The Phuket Provincial Commander Major General Sinlert Sukhum told the Phuket Express that residents living nearby the crime scene told Chalong police that there had been some fighting between several foreign men in front of the rental house two days before the body was found. The house was used for a cannabis farm. At this stage, Chalong police believe a conflict over the cannabis business led to the apparent murder.
Phuket Immigration checked and found that the prime suspect, identified by Immigration only as a Tajikistan man, had already left Phuket on Tuesday (March 12th) via flight No.TK172 headed to Istanbul in Turkey.
Evidence is being collected by Phuket police to request a formal arrest warrant for the Tajikistan man and an INTERPOL Red alert to co-ordinate with other countries to capture and expatriate the suspect back to Thailand.
