NAKHON SI THAMMARAT: Three Rohingya women were re-arrested on Monday after mysteriously escaping from a room where they had been detained.
Chien Yai district chief Kittipong Rongdet said on Monday the three women were apprehended by police in Cha-uat district on Sunday night, along with a Rohingya man he described as a "middle man". All were sent back to Chien Yai for interrogation, he added.
Their names were not released.
The women, two aged 16 and another 17, were arrested by authorities at a rented room in Chien Yai on Saturday with no travel documents.
Mr Kittipong said they had stayed in the room for about a month waiting for a ride to their final destination in Malaysia.
After their arrest on Saturday, authorities locked them in the room pending the return of their Covid-19 test results. On Sunday morning, they returned to find the room empty, the lock on the rear doors broken.
It remained unclear how they escaped to Cha-uat and who owned the room.
