Tragic end for Hans Peter Walter Mack
Mack was reported missing on July 4th, with a reward of three million baht being offered for information leading to his safe return. Unfortunately, the situation took a tragic turn when authorities found dismembered remains of the German businessman on July 10th in the southern Thai town of Nong Prue.
Ongoing investigations and other suspects
The arrest of Brinkmann followed the detention of an individual found hiding at a restaurant close to the location where Mack’s dismembered body was discovered. The police, however, have not officially named this individual as a suspect, but their proximity to the crime scene has invited increased scrutiny.
As Brinkmann battles the allegations in court, another suspect, Zahrouk Kareem Uddin, remains at large. The 27-year-old Pakistani man is believed to have transported the freezer containing Mack’s dismembered body parts.
