Surachai and other senior officers inspected the shooting scene, a fishing pier in Ban Dong Somboon where Saran and Pramote fell into river and were shot on Thursday evening while attempting to arrest Suriyan. Suriyan, a former health station doctor in Tambon Dong Somboon, also fled with the two officers’ pistols, Surachai said. He urged police to bring his son’s killer to justice but as of press time, a manhunt for Suriyan was still continuing in the area. Border checkpoints were also alerted to be on the look-out for Suriyan in case he tried to flee the country. He was serving as a drugs-suppression officer with Investigation Division 2 of Provincial Police Region 4 when he was killed.
