BANGKOK, Thailand: Two Thai men have been arrested for the killing last year of a U.S. expatriate businessman in northern Thailand, and one of the suspects claimed he was hired by the victim's wife, police said Sunday.
The body of John LaChapelle, 43, was found shot to death on Sep. 29 in the Hang Dong district of Chiang Mai province. Suphap Nokham, 48, and Suchin Chusaengroj, 28, were arrested Saturday for the killing, said police Lt. Col. Suvit Panyo. Both have been charged with premeditated murder, which carries a maximum penalty of death.
He said that Suchin confessed that he was hired to arrange the murder by the victim's Lao-French-American wife
