Chonburi fiancé and mother murder suspect caught alive

The Chonburi man who killed his fiancé and her mother in a cold-blooded shooting caught on CCTV was apprehended alive by police yesterday

Police had issued the rare jub tai order in the wake of the brutal double murder last week, which means the officers should capture the suspect dead or alive.

But suspect Thanet Kaekan, 35, was arrested alive without shots being fired in the middle of the night on Aug. 11, ThaiRath reported. No information was reported on the exact time or location of the arrest. 

Chonburi police gave a press conference today at 10am and brought Thanet to perform a crime reenactment, where over 100 officers were employed to prevent a mob attack on the suspect by outraged local residents.
