Suspect In Sg Golok Fatal Shooting Of Malaysian Surrenders To Thai Police

KOTA BHARU, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- The suspect in Saturday’s fatal shooting of a Malaysian man in Sungai Golok, Narathiwat, who is a former import player for the Kelantan football team, has surrendered to Thai police.

Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said his department was informed unofficially about the 31-year-old suspect’s surrender to the Thai authorities.

“So far, we have been informed unofficially that the suspect turned himself in to Thai police yesterday.

“We are still waiting for an official report from the Thai authorities regarding his arrest,” he told Bernama when contacted today.

Mohd Yusoff said the case will be handled entirely by Thai authorities as the incident occurred in Thailand and the suspect is a Thai national.

“Initial investigations revealed that the suspect had previously played as a goalkeeper for Kelantan FC in 2019, after representing the Kelantan President’s Cup squad in 2014,” he added.

Bernama reported yesterday that a Malaysian man was shot dead at about 7 pm at his house in Sungai Golok town on Saturday.
