India, Bhutan, and Nepal to be contacted over case of Bhutanese 'drug mule'
THAI police will soon contact the Indian, Bhutanese and Nepalese authorities to try to extradite five more suspects sought in relation to the death of Bhutanese 'drug mule' Ugyen Tshering, acting city police chief Pol Lt-General Sanit Mahataworn said yesterday.
The five suspects, wanted for being in possession of crystal methamphetamine or "ice" with the intention to sell, were believed to have headed to these three countries, he said.
His comment came after a court issued arrest warrants yesterday for four Bhutanese suspects - Pema Khandu, 51; Sonam Zam, 22; Dechen Dema, 31; and Kinzang, 34 - as well as Nepalese man Hari Bahadur Tamang, 37.
A police source said investigators were probing for more accomplices. An initial investigation found that there were people living inside and outside the country linked to the drug trafficking gang.
