All three suspects in Chaweng bar owner stabbing now in custody

Three Thai teenagers have been arrested for allegedly stabbing a German bar owner to death on Koh Samui island yesterday.
The three suspects are between 15 and 17 years old, said Pol.Col. Satit Prom-uthai, an officer at Bo Phut Police Station.
According to Pol.Col. Satit, the suspects confessed to stabbing Schwartges Volker, 46, in Chaweng Beach’s entertainment yesterday morning following a heated argument. Pol.Col. Satit said a search of the suspects’ residences turned up a knife that was reportedly used in the attack; previous police reports indicated that Mr. Volker was stabbed by shards of glass from a broken beer bottle.
One of the suspects said Mr. Volker berated the group for sitting on his motorcycle in the parking lot of a nightclub, Pol.Col. Satit said. The suspects confessed to punching and stabbing him in the neck after the argument escalated, the officer said.
“They fled the crime scene without knowing that the victim was dead,” Pol.Col. Satit said.
The three suspects have been charged with premeditated murder.
