Police Colonel Wirachat Rattajaroen, the station superintendent, ordered a police operation. Firstly, officers surrounded the orchard.
After that, they entered the area. In brief, they found the murder suspect sleeping in a hammock between two trees. The man was wearing just long trousers without a shirt, given the heat.
When the wanted man realised the police were upon him, he produced a homemade gun. However, after he fired at the police, they returned volleys and shot the wife murderer on the spot. Subsequently, police pointed out that there was no way for Mr. Suksan to escape.
