Thanaphat KongmaiPolice believe the killers used the bag to cover the head of Pol L/C Thanaphat Kongmai, 32, a former policeman in the southern border provinces, before they shot him. Pol L/C Thanaphat's body was dumped on Tamnan-Somkit Village Road, Tamnan, Muang district, on May 13 and found by rubber-tappers the next morning. While Ms Somjit and Mr Jittichai deny killing Pol L/C Thanaphat, they admit he caused problems for the family. Officers from Police Region 9, Phatthalung provincial station, and Muang police, who announced the arrests, said the suspects called Pol L/C Thanaphat and asked him to meet them. Charging the duo with jointly killing Pol L/C Thanaphat, police said they believe his drug-taking and abusive behaviour was more than the family could stand.
