A HONG KONG murder suspect wanted under an Interpol Red Notice and hid in Thailand for over three decades has now been arrested in Bangkok and will be deported, Naewna newspaper said last night (Feb. 4).
Immigration police arrested Mr. Mui, 62, for the offence of being a “foreign national residing in Thailand without permission or with expired permission, under Section 81 of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979)” after Hong Kong’s Special Administrative Region Police asked for information about the suspect in a 1989 murder case.
The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) had on April 26, 2015 received a request from Hong Kong police to help verify information about Mui as their investigation revealed that he is the key suspect in the murder of an unnamed victim in 1989 by four persons. Mui was charged with using a shovel to fatally assault the victim whose body was then buried at a Hong Kong beach and has been evading arrest ever since.
Confessions of previously arrested accomplices indicated that Mui had been working in Thailand since 1994.
Subsequently, CIB assigned Division 2 of the Crime Suppression Division to investigate Mui’s whereabouts from 1994 to the present.
The police team traced his whereabouts for almost a year focusing on Samut Prakan province and surrounding areas where he had reportedly worked. After analysing various pieces of information they found out that Mui was living at a house in Lam Phak Chi, Nong Chok district, Bangkok with a Thai woman and had three chidlren.
After getting a search warrant from Min Buri Criminal Court they went to his house where he was arrested and confessed to being the person named in the Interpol Red Notice.
Yesterday Hong Kong’s Police Commissioner Joe Chow Yat-ming came to the Crime Suppression Division to discuss the procedures for Mui’s deportation to Hong Kong to face legal proceedings.
