Bangkok Bomb Suspect Confesses to Crime – Police

Thai police say one of the suspects apprehended as part of the investigation into last month’s deadly bomb attack at a popular shrine in Bangkok has confessed to possessing banned explosives.Last week, Yusufu Meerailee was arrested trying to flee across the Thai border into Cambodia — National Police spokesman Prawut Thavonsiri said he’d also been carrying a piece of paper with a chemical formula used to make explosives written on it.
“We have informed him (Yusufu) of the charge of jointly possessing and owning explosives that are banned by the government. He acknowledged the charge and confessed (to it),” Prawut told reporters at a news conference on Monday.
Police have also issued two additional arrest warrants for suspects wanted in connection with the bombing that killed 20 people and injured many more, bringing the total number of arrest warrants to 11, Prawut added. The additional suspected have been identified as Abdullah Abdullahman, who police released a sketch of, and an unnamed male foreigner — about 175 cm (5 feet, 8 inches) in height. Police showed a photo of him captured by CCTV-surveillence video from a department store.
