Mrs Jintana was shot dead on January 18 just north of the Kwang Rd intersection on Chao Fa West Rd.

Phuket Police Commander Maj Gen Choti Chavalviwat told The Phuket News today (January 25) none of the drivers said they saw the shooting or noted the number plate on the killers’ motorcycle.

He added that investigators have also completed interviewing all of Mrs Jintana’s colleagues at the hotel, but had again drawn a blank. Police believe the killing stemmed from a work-related dispute.

Police are now waiting for results of attempts in Bangkok to enhance grainy CCTV footage that they believe will reveal more information.
