BANGKOK, 4 September 2015 (NNT) – Police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri unveiled a test of Mr.Yusufu Mieraili’s DNA, a Chinese national recently arrested in Sa Kaeo, does not match the DNA found in taxi, banknotes and bag debris dropped at the bomb site. He said however Yusufu’s DNA did match the fingerprints on a bottle of bomb-making materials seized from an apartment in Nong Chok and those on toothbrush found in an apartment in Min Buri.
Pol Lt Gen Prawut said it was still not clear whether Mr.Mieraili was the yellow-shirted man captured on CCTV as the man who allegedly planted the shrine bomb. However, he believed the man was definitely in the attackers’ group and had some kinds of links with the situation at Ratchaprasong and the Sathorn Pier.
The police spokesman said the liquid seized from a house on Rat-uthit 34 road in Minburi rented by a Thai woman suspect, was precursor which could be used for producing narcotic drugs, Ketamine but not for producing explosive devices.
He stated that a thorough investigation of the rented house indicated Wanna Suansan, the Thai woman who was issued an arrest warrant recently, was not owner of the house. Witnesses confirmed she was seen to visit the house. Security authorities are continuing the investigation in several more suspicious locations but refused to reveal the details.
