Police said the suspects all confessed to the drug networking, with Apinan and Abduladisak buying the drugs from the son of a Laotian general they met during a stint in a Nakhon Phanom prison. The pair then hired Saharat to take the drugs to Satun Province on a public bus that stopped in Chonburi.

Apinan and Abduladisak have served multiple sentences for drug running and will be going back to prison again, police said.
