AN ARREST warrant has been issued naming two men suspected of involvement in the execution-on-the-move killing of Farang restauranteur Chid ''Kit'' Raknang.

Khun Kit was gunned down at his Phuket City Farang 2 restaurant last month. The killer stepped off a motorcycle to carry out the hit and sped away soon after.

Police conducted a thorough investigation that involved viewing CCTV footage from nearby retail outlets, including Central Festival and Index Living Mall.

The Farang 2 restaurant, one of three operated by Khun Kit, is opposite the Living Mall in the Bypass Road.

Phuket's Chief of Police, Major General Apirak Hongtong, is heading the investigation. He is expected to be tranferred to Ranong as soon as the official paperwork is complete.
