Police: Three confess to involvement in Frenchman's murder

SURAT THANI - Police have arrested three French nationals in connection with the killing of one of their countrymen on the southern resort island Samui.

Samui police chief Col Paitoon Krajajang said Friday the three had confessed to involvement in the Wednesday night shooting at a restaurant of 44-year-old Laurent Lacques Jean Delacherie. Police believe a business dispute was the cause.

Surat Thani provincial police chief Maj Gen Apichart Boonsriroj said the man suspected of carrying out the shooting, identified by his passport as Georges Michel, 65, was captured at Ban Nai junction in Don Sak district on the mainland around 4pm on Thursday while driving a pickup truck, allegedly fleeing arrest. Bloodstains were found in the back of the vehicle, police said.

The other two suspects -- Cyrille Jean Paul Larignon, owner of the restaurant where the killing took place, and Yves Claude Daniel Climent -- are accused of helping to dispose of the body, which was found floating near a waterfall.

Mr Larignon's Thai girlfriend, Nudeang Nakote, said she was present with her child when she heard the men arguing and then heard the shooting.

Delacherie's body was found in a creek at Tarzan waterfall (Nam Tok Mae Nam Soi 5) in tambon Mae Nam, near Tarn Rua waterfall, on Koh Samui district, on Thursday morning...

A quarrel erupted between the victim and Mr Michel, who walked out of the restaurant and returned about five minutes later with a gun. He then allegedly fired three shots at Delacherie.

I've got a question(s) for the Thai members here. Does it seem normal to you that an expat would have a gun? Is this legal in Thailand ?
Or, are there illegal guns available for whoever can pay, or does this mean that these guys are seriously connected to organised crime ?
Just wondering.

Three people get together to dispose of a body and the best they can do is throw it in a fucking river.
