Two Kyrgyz Murder Suspects Arrested at Patong Hotel in Phuket — confirmed details at this stage for Phuket readers.
Thai police arrested two Kyrgyz nationals, Mr. Aiat and Mr. Adilet, both 26, at a hotel in Patong, Kathu District, Phuket on April 25. The men were wanted on Interpol red notices for a kidnapping and murder in Kyrgyzstan earlier this month.
Details of the International Manhunt
Authorities in Kyrgyzstan allege the suspects abducted and murdered Mr. Jiang on April 11, then disposed of his body in a mountain gorge in Archa Forest, Alamudun District, Chuy Province. After the crime, both men fled Kyrgyzstan and attempted to hide in Phuket.
Thai investigators coordinated with the Central Investigation Bureau and Phuket Immigration Police to locate the suspects. Interpol had issued red notices for kidnapping, unlawful detention and assault leading to death, and murder.
Legal Proceedings and Deportation
During questioning, the suspects denied all allegations, police said. Immigration authorities have revoked their permission to remain in Thailand.
Preparations are underway to deport the two men to Kyrgyzstan, where they are expected to face prosecution for the alleged crimes.
