The father of murdered 22-year-old Chinese student Jin Can has arrived in Thailand from Beijing to give his statement to the Thai police, while a Thai bar girl, who is thought to have been involved with the Chinese romance scam gang, was taken to court today (Tuesday) to extend her detention for questioning.
Pol Col Tassakorn Kornthong, superintendent of Bang Mae Nang police station in Nonthaburi province took Mr. Jin Li-peng, the father of the victim, to two crime scenes today, a rented house and the banana plantation in Bang Mae Nang sub-district, where his daughter’s body was found.
A police officer said that Mr. Jin was in shock and had to be supported by two friends when he visited the crime scenes. He was later escorted back to Bang Mae Nang police station to be interviewed by police.
Police also took a swab for a DNA test, to confirm that he is the father of the victim.
Meanwhile, Bang Mae Nang police escorted the bar girl to the Nonthaburi provincial police, to seek a court’s permission to have her detained while the investigation continues.
The three suspected killers have been detained by Chinese police after their arrest in Hebei province in the northern part of Beijing.
