Kuala lumpur: The suspect in Saturday's fatal shooting of a Malaysian man in Sungai Golok, Narathiwat, who is a former import player for the Kelantan football team, has surrendered to Thai police. Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said his department was informed unofficially about the 31-year-old suspect's surrender to the Thai authorities.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mohd Yusoff stated, "So far, we have been informed unofficially that the suspect turned himself in to Thai police yesterday." He also mentioned that they are still awaiting an official report from the Thai authorities regarding the arrest.

Mohd Yusoff highlighted that the case will be handled entirely by Thai authorities since the incident took place in Thailand and the suspect is a Thai national. He further explained that initial investigations revealed the suspect had previously played as a goalkeeper for Kelantan FC in 2019, following his representation of the Kelantan President's Cup squad in 2014.

BERNAMA reported yesterday that a Malaysian man was shot dead at about 7 pm at his house in Sungai Golok town on Saturday.
