The police officers identified themselves and checked for drugs and weapons. One of the suspicious men was Mr.Marut Chanhomkul aka “Rut Bestfriend” 34 years-old-living in house # 42 moo 10, Sapsomboon, Wichianburi, Petchaboon province.

Upon questioning Mr.Marut said he he did not have a job. He always waited for his girlfriend who worked in a beer-bar and he claimed that the radio was a gift from his friend who was a rescue organisation volunteer. He gave the walkie-talkie and told him to carry it. The knives he kept them to protect himself, the white powder was fake.

When the police officers checked his record, they found that he had shot people dead in Chonburi province in 1995 and was released out of jail in 2010. He admitted that he had killed people, but he had served 16 years in prison for his crime. He said, he was well behaved in prison.

Then he worked in Pattaya, but the polices did not believe him they thought he was one of the small time gangsters in Pattaya at Best friend beer bar area who was selling fake or real drugs to tourists.

The police would check Mr. Marut’s criminal record since his release from prison and conduct a urine drug test to find out if the once convicted criminal had returned to a life of crime.
