However, Somneuk said the police investigation was 90-per-cent complete and officers would apply for an arrest warrant for the suspect later on Tuesday. On Thursday, Rama Yador, a 47-year-old businessman of Indian origin, was robbed by a man wearing a uniform that resembled that of a soldier. He told police that an armed man who claimed to be a soldier broke into his home in Khlong Sam Wa district and accused him of being a loan shark. The man then told Yador that he had to see his boss and made him ride pillion on his motorcycle. A police source on Sunday said the suspect was a former conscript from Kanchanaburi who had left the Armed Forces in 2013 but still commonly wore military uniforms.
