    A key eyewitness to a shooting of a lottery agent and his two friends in Bangkok on Friday was gunned down in Phetchaburi the following day, police said.

    Police said the murder of the witness was probably aimed at protecting a major drug ring.

    Thasanont Pong-arsa, 28, was shot dead in Phetchaburi while waiting for a public van late on Saturday night, said acting city police chief Pol Maj Gen Khamronwit Thoopkrachang.

    Thasanont witnessed the attack in Chatuchak district and took the victims to hospital, Pol Maj Gen Khamronwit said.

    His murder was linked to a May 2 police crackdown on drug trafficking in Bang Phlat district in which 180,000 methamphetamine pills and 4kg of crystal methamphetamine were seized, the senior police officer said.

    The killing was an apparent attempt to silence one of a number of people who hold clues about the major ring behind the seized drugs, he said.

    On Friday, Phahon Yothin police station was alerted about 9.30pm to a shooting in the Tawana housing estate in Vibhavadi Rangsit Soi 32.

    The men shot and injured were Adisorn Srisuk, 29, a government lottery agent, Adisak Thongho, 25, a university student, and Popol Naraphak, 25, a debt collector for a private company.

    The three were travelling together in a Mercedes-Benz E350. A motorcycle pulled up alongside it and the passenger opened fire on the car. Mr Adisorn, who was driving, was seriously injured by gunshots to the head, an arm and a leg.

    Thasanont had been driving a car behind the Mr Adisorn's vehicle when the shooting took place. He stopped and drove the injured men to hospital.

    Phetchaburi police investigators also are searching for a person referred to as Wan, to whom Thasanont had sent a text message before he was killed.

    Sketches of the gunman and the motorcycle driver are expected soon and an arrest warrant for the assailants should be issued in the next two days, Pol Maj Gen Khamronwit said.
