SONGKHLA: An arrest warrant was issued for a local dormitory proprietor accused of raping a Mathayom 5 (11th Grade) female student after immobilising her with an electric stun gun last week.
Pol Col Anurut Im-arb, deputy chief of the Songkhla Provincial Police, said the girl’s parents lodged a complaint accusing the man of attacking their daughter at Landmark Residence on Chaliew Uthit Road in Hat Yai municipality on April 11.
The residence is run-down and currently not in service. However the girl, whose family lives in Satun, was temporarily staying there while studying at a cram school in Songkhla.
Pol Col Anurut said investigators had enough evidence to bring a strong case again the suspect, who was not named initially. They had obtained a court arrest warrant and he would be hunted down if he did not surrender to police.
Deputy police chief Pol Gen Weerachai Songmetta traveled from Bangkok to Songkhla Friday to follow up progress in the case.
