Bangkok: Wanted hitman found working as airport guard. Suvarnabhumi Airport

A security guard at Suvarnabhumi Airport has been arrested after police confirmed he was a hitman on the Royal Thai Police's list of its most wanted criminals.

Bundit Tomuang, or Sathit Tomuang, 53, was detained recently at a house in Nakhon Sawan province, Pol Lt Col Suthin Suangdokmai of the Metropolitan Police Bureau said yesterday.

Mr Bundit is No16 on the police's list of most wanted hitmen and thugs. He has been working as a guard at the airport for five years but returned recently to his hometown in Nakhon Sawan for treatment of gout.

He has been tried, and acquitted, twice for murder. His alleged victims were a woman whom he claimed stole his cattle, and a lawyer. Mr Bundit later faced a warrant for premeditated murder and hiring someone to commit a crime.

An Airports of Thailand official said the AoT carefully examines the background of all guards. Mr Bundit may have been a hired by a contractor.
