Police in northern Thailand have arrested three men over the brutal murder of a British millionaire and his wife.
Alan Hogg, 64, who is from Edinburgh, and his Thai wife Nod Suddaen, 61, were reported missing from their home in Phrae province on Thursday after they failed to meet friends in the nearby city of Chiang Mai.
Blood stains were found in the sink and changing room area around the pool at their home, with signs they had been wiped down, but no bodies have yet been found. A mobile phone belonging to Nod was still charging at the house when police arrived to search the property.
On Tuesday morning, police confirmed they had arrested three men who had admitted killing the couple and burying their bodies away from the house. Police Gen Sanpat Prabpudsa, who was leading the investigation, said: “We have arrested three men who have confessed.”
We know the spot they are buried, I think we can find the bodies today
The men confessed to first shooting Hogg in front of the duck pen and then beating his wife to death with a hammer in the garage. The men also implicated Hogg’s brother-in-law, Warut Satchakit, in the crime. Police said it was linked to an ongoing family dispute.
