Couple carrying Malaysian passport arrested for human trafficking in Wang Kelian

BANGKOK: A Myanmar man and his Thai wife who were allegedly involved in a human trafficking syndicate linked to transit camps and mass graves found in 2015 in Wang Kelian - located in the Malaysian state of Perlis - was arrested in Bangkok on Thursday (Sept 1).

Thailand's Assistant national police chief, Pol Lt-Gen Surachate Hakparn, said the 55-year-old man and his wife, who were carrying Malaysian passports, fled from Thailand to Kuala Lumpur (in 2015) and changed their names to escape their criminal past and evade police detection.
