Poipet Border Checkpoint.BANGKOK, July 5 (MCOT) – Cambodia this morning will hand over two Thai nationals implicated in the bombing at the Thai government coalition partner Bhumjaithai party headquarters last month to Thai authorities in the Cambodian capital.
The suspects are expected to arrive in police custody at Suvarnabhumi airport at 11am.
Cambodian authorities arrested the two suspects in Siem Reap province and will turn them over at the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh at 10am.
The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thailand’s embassy in Cambodia had coordinated with the Cambodian authorities to confirm the identification of the two suspects and carried out procedures to return them to Thailand.
Police in Thailand’s eastern province of Sa Kaeo on Sunday were notified by the Thai consulate in Phnom Penh that Cambodian police arrested the duo, Warisriya Boonsom and Korbchai Boonplod, in Siem Reap. They fled to Cambodia on June 23.
The two are suspects in the hiring of persons to carry out a planned bombing near the Bhumjaithai party headquarters in Bangkok last month.
Meanwhile, Department of Special Investigation (DSI) director-general Tharit Pengdit said he was informed that the two will be returned to Thailand Monday morning.
He said the DSI had coordinated with assistant police chief Pol Lt-Gen Aswin Kwanmuang on the matter as the case had already been treated as a special case under responsibility of the DSI.
The director general said upon the arrival of the two suspects, DSI will bring them to seek court permission to detain them for further investigation.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday that the fuller story of the two anti-government Red Shirts, who fled to Cambodia, will be clear on Monday. The authorities of the two countries are cooperating on that.
Thai Police last month arrested two Red Shirt guards allegedly behind the bombing near the head office of the main coalition partner in the six-party government.
The two men, identified as Kampon Kamkong and Dejpon Bhudjong, were apprehended in the eastern provinces of Chantaburi and Chonburi respectively.
A bomb built into a fruit-vendor's cart was detonated remotely near the party office on June 22, seriously wounding one man.
Anek Singkhuntod, 26, was seriously injured in the explosion. He said that Mr Kampon hired him to leave the rambutan-laden pushcart near the party office. The bomb exploded earlier than expected and instead wounded the man himself.
Gen Aswin heads the investigation team in the case and was scheduled to bring the two back to Thailand with an expected arrival at Suvarnabhumi airport at 11am. (MCOT online news)
