Four poker players who remain suspects in the murder of a wealthy nightclub owner have been brought back for questioning.

The individuals reportedly owed a Bt4-million gambling debt to Thai tycoon Somyot Suthangkool.

The suspect list is not limited to just these poker players, however.  Somyot's office had been handling 10 lawsuits, most of which were drug-related.

Senior investigator Pol Maj-General Sombat Milinthajinda said the poker players' testimony did not match that of his wife’s nor his attorneys. 

Meanwhile, surveillance video taken of the parking lot in which Suthangkool was shot outside of a restaurant continues to be reviewed.
