Bangkok (ASTV Manager Online) – It is highly possible that a former army specialist and local politician in Kanchanaburi will mastermind the assassination of Sondhi Limthongkul, founder of ASTV Manager newspaper.
Pol Gen Thani Sombunsap, deputy commissioner-general and head of the investigative team, this morning further interrogated Sondhi concerning the assassination on April 17.
Investigative teams yesterday went to gather evidence in Ratchaburi, Kanchanaburi and Lopburi.
Two soldiers and one civilian were reportedly arrested.
The three suspects have been brought to a safe house in Bangkok for further interrogation.
Ex-army specialist in Kanchanaburi was believed to join hands with a national politician to support the assassination plan.
The so-called former army specialist assigned the job to former soldier who involved in a crime case whereas the local politician arranged the gunner team.
The politician has a close relationship with convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and was rewarded during Thaksin administration.
Another possible guess is that a local politician in Lopburi might cooperate with a local politician in Ayutthaya to set the assassination plan.
The politician in Ayutthaya has a good relationship with Mrs. Pojanee Na Pomphet who is the mother of Thaksin’s ex-wife Pojaman.
