Elephant tote bag heroin case: Third suspect arrested

[Coss]

A third suspect, allegedly connected to a narcotics trafficking network linked to the TG cabin crew member’s drug case in Australia, was arrested in Ayutthaya province yesterday.

The suspect has been identified only as “Nanthawat”, who allegedly told police investigators that he received a black plastic bag containing six fabric elephant-patterned tote bags from “Uthai”, a Hmong hill tribe man who delivered a package of drugs to the condominium of cabin crew member Meena in the Bang Na area on June 22.

Nanthawat is reported to have told police that he panicked after learning about Meena’s arrest in Australia and contacted Uthai about what to do with the six tote bags in the plastic bag.

After being told to get rid of the bags, Nanthawat claimed that he used a knife to cut them open and flushed all the white powder in them down the toilet in his apartment.
