BANGKOK, Dec 8 — Thailand’s national Police Chief Somyot Poompanmoung and his delegation left for London to attend an anti-human trafficking conference drawing police and anti-human trafficking officials from 77 countries.
He will also meet British Prime Minister David Cameron to discuss the Ko Tao murder case in which two British tourists were killed.
Pol Gen Somyot said his delegation–including Assistant Police Chief Pol Lt Gen Prawut Thawornsiri, deputy Bangkok police chief Pol Maj Gen Suwat Jaengyodsuk and Pol Maj Gen Apichart Suripunya, chief of the Thai police department’s foreign affairs, will attend an anti-human trafficking meeting focusing on the prevention of child abuse and luring in London tomorrow and Wednesday.
Pol Gen Somyot said that at the event he would meet British Prime Minister David Cameron and Keith Bristow, director-general of England’s National Crime Agency, to discuss the murder of two British tourists on Ko Tao island as the British police were closely following the case and sent staff to monitor the investigation and interrogation last month.
Later the British ambassador wrote to thank the Royal Thai Police Office for its actions relating to the murder and the parents of the dead did the same and expressed confidence that the Thai police have arrested the real murderers.
Public prosecutors in Thailand indicted two suspects today for the murder in the Ko Samui court.
