It is still not confirmed whether a suspect arrested in Malaysia is the prime suspect of the fatal Erawan Shrine blast, national police chief Pol General Somyot Poompanmuang said Monday.
He also refused to shed light on the progress of investigation into the August 17 attack, which killed 20, mostly foreigners, and injured over a 100 others.
Latest reports say that Malaysian police have arrested a man who looks like the suspect in a yellow T-shirt, who was captured on CCTV leaving a backpack behind that is believed to have been carrying the bomb. Malaysia has sent a photograph of the man arrested to Thailand for further verification.
Somyot said both sides have discussed the issue and results will be revealed soon.
Police also arrested two suspects allegedly involved in the bombing, and have issued arrest warrants for 12 others.
