The suspect who is in his 40s was arrested in Chaiyaphum province, some 260km of Bangkok at 7am on 29 May. He has a large tattoo on his right arm and his arrest has ended the extensive manhunt across the region.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi pledged full cooperation to the Thai authorities. “I can confirm the arrest of the man this morning and we will send a team to seek extradition of the suspect back to Malaysia,” he said. 

So far, 16 suspects including the alleged mastermind were nabbed in Singapore, Penang, Johor Bahru, and Thailand. They were allegedly involved in the killing of a man named “Ah Chiu” at the petrol station last year. The victim was stabbed and run over by a white BMW car.
