Prime Suspect on Gruesome Dismemberment body of a Spanish Man Arrested in Cambodia

The Spanish prime suspect for killing and gruesome dismemberment of a fellow Spanish man in Bangkok has been arrested. The man was arrested in Cambodia, authorities said Monday. They also believed that the man fled after dumping the pieces of his victim's body in Bangkok's Chao Phraya River.

According to Yahoo News, Artur Segarra Princep, 36 years old Spanish national was the identified suspect and arrested at a Cambodian restaurant in Sihanoukville, a coastal town on the said country. Segarra stayed on a guesthouse a few days earlier.

The Regional police chief Gen. Chuon Narin said, "We received a request from Thai police to arrest this man, and after launching an investigation we found him. We will hand him over to Thailand."

The dismembered body was identified belonging to David Bernat, a Spanish businessman. The body parts were found floating in Chao Praya river, Bangkok last month. The Rakyat Post reported, authorities believed the victim was abducted and killed for financial reasons.

Detectives also discovered that a large sum of money over US$1 million was withdrawed from the Bernat's bank account after he was murdered. Authorities believed Segarra stayed in Thailand because he had recently took out money within the country.

Chakthip Chaichinda, Thailand's national police chief was waiting to arrest the said suspect at the the Police Aviation Division at Km 4 on Ram Intra road. According to Bangkok Post, Segrra's girlfriend, Pritsana Saen-ubol was also being questioned regarding the case. She said she was with Segarra in a karaoke bar in Surin's Muang district when he suddenly sped away riding his motorcycle after he saw his photo on the TV news. She told the investigators that he probably murdered David Bernat, whose body parts were found on Wednesday last month.

Senior Thai police met Monday in Bangkok about the murder case. An official at the meeting said a helicopter was sent to Cambodia. Thai police have refused to revealed on media reports of large transfers of money from Bernat's bank account to accounts in Spain and Singapore.
