Bangkok: The gunman who shot MP Kamolsak remained silent when questioned about "the mastermind," as police escorted him onto a plane from the police airbase to the Narathiwat Provincial Police Headquarters for further questioning before his detention tomorrow.
According to Thai News Agency, police escorted Captain Viroj, a former Marine, from the Police Aviation Division to the Narathiwat Provincial Police Headquarters for further questioning before his detention tomorrow. Captain Viroj was arrested last night for the shooting of MP Kamolsak. Despite being surrounded by reporters who posed several questions about the mastermind, his hesitation, and the stress following his arrest, Captain Viroj chose not to respond.
During last night's questioning, Captain Viroj claimed he was unaware of who orchestrated the attack. He revealed that he had spent a month in Narathiwat before the incident, admitting to borrowing cars from a military officer at the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) multiple times. He stated that MP Kamolsak did not die because he hesitated before pulling the trigger, a claim that police are scrutinizing. Captain Viroj denied any personal acquaintance with MP Kamolsak, stating his knowledge of the MP came through Mr. Somporn. He also noted that he had worked in Narathiwat from 1990-1991, during which he was Mr. Somporn's superior officer.
