Investigators also questioned Teerapong's mother, Areerat Chomloke, Pol Gen Srivara said. Pol Gen Srivara did not confirm if the suspect in question was the relative of a politician. Investigators had learned that every suspect had previously been in a fight with friends of the slain victim, Pol Gen Srivara said. The victim suffered several other injuries, but a post mortem examination confirmed the screwdriver killed him.
