Pol Maj Gen Krajang Suwannarat, Phuket police commander, told The Phuket News, “Everyone was released on bail at 3am today. They have all been questioned already. Plus, they surrendered to us voluntarily.

“Actually, we have set up 20-30 officials to work on this job. Then, we still can work with ten officials (who are investigator). We must of course assume that they are innocent until proven guilty.

“However the investigation is not over yet. If there is any suggestion of witnesses being intimidated, we can revoke bail. Each has posted bail of B120,000.

“I believe that the investigation should be concluded by September 20.”

This afternoon, Pian and Prab Keesin are scheduled to hold a press conference.
