An ethnic Mon man, identified as Tata, claims he was forced by two individuals posing as state officials to poach wildlife and kill a bearcat in Saiyok National Park.
Tata, a migrant caretaker at Tao Dum monastery, stated he complied with the orders out of fear of being arrested for illegal entry.
His detention followed a confession from another suspect, Anuson Rueanngan, who identified Tata as the shooter, though Anuson later claimed no one else was involved.
Police retrieved animal remains believed to be from the killed bearcat, as this incident is part of a larger investigation involving 12 suspects, including a deputy district chief.
