Now for our update:
The suspect, Mr. Nitipat “Ku Aew” Chokchaithanaphorn, 45, was arrested on Tuesday, November 1st, by a commando unit under arrest warrant No 487/2022 for allegedly using false information to register on the domicile registration paper to obtain identification documents.
Ku Aew was, in fact, a Chinese national who used a fake Thai ID under the name Nitipat Chokchaithanaphorn to cover his real identity and run a business, according to police.
He was arrested in front of the Pattaya Provincial Court, where he had gone to deal with a prior case of allegedly possessing ketamine for sale after the botched raid on his nightlife complex days ago.
According to police, the alleged mother of Nitipat Chokchaithanaphorn, Mrs. Muay Itsomboon, and his step-sibling, Mrs. Sunee Itsomboon, ascertained the suspicion of Ku Aew using a fake name, saying they had never known or seen Ku Aew after seeing his photo.
In addition, Pattaya police are looking into Ku Aew’s connection to another alleged Chinese-run nightlife complex, Top One, where he reportedly delivered his customers after his pub was shutdown.
