Four held in connection with Monday’s killing of a police officer in Pattani
13 Sept 07:02Key points summarised by AI
Authorities apprehended four suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of Pol Lt Veerasak Saraporn in Pattani on Monday night.
Investigators utilized CCTV footage to trace the assailants' stolen motorcycle, which was later found abandoned after a massive manhunt.
The attack involved a disguised pillion rider using an M16 assault rifle and a 9mm handgun, before stealing the officer's pistol.
Evidence suggests the M16 used in the officer's killing was also employed in a previous attack that left four defense volunteers dead.
Bai Lu meet-and-greet cancelled days after China’s safety warning

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
