Bangkok police officers successfully arrested a Singaporean drug fugitive yesterday, September 3, after more than three months of an investigation. A Thai female party entertainer who assisted the arrest claimed that the foreign man accumulated hazardous substances to carry out a mass killing in Thailand.
The investigation to arrest the wanted Singaporean, 40 year old Joel, began at the end of January after the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) received information from Singapore’s Central Narcotics Bureau.
Singaporean authorities told the ONCB that Joel had committed multiple drug-related offences and fled to Thailand to avoid arrest. He allegedly posed as a university student and was able to remain in Thailand for an extended period because his name had not yet been included in an Interpol warrant.
Thai ONCB officers spent more than three months tracking Joel, who was highly vigilant. Investigators eventually discovered that he frequently used the services of female party entertainers and began questioning women who had previously met him.
One entertainer told police that Joel was frequently violent towards her. She had previously suffered a serious eye injury while working for him. She also said he had threatened her with a knife.
