A man suspected of killing four rubber plantation workers in Chumphon has been arrested, after his stolen getaway car was involved in an accident in Surat Thani yesterday.
The suspect, identified only as Praphan, 44, was arrested between Surat Thani's Chai Buri district and Krabi's Plai Phraya district yesterday.
Praphan, from Chumphon, worked at a rubber plantation in Chumphon's Sawi district owned by one of the victims, identified as Prayong, 61. Prayong's body was found on July 16, along with the bodies of three workers from Myanmar. All had been shot.
Praphan was the prime suspect as he was known to often argue with Prayong. It is believed he killed the workers because he thought one of them stole rubber he had tapped.
