The Thai woman implicated in the deadly Erawan Shrine bomb attack is now in Thai police custody.

Wanna Suansan was arrested upon her arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport yesterday. Police then took her to the National Police Office headquarters where Deputy National Police Commissioner Pol General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul interrogated her.

Last month, Wanna’s relatives urged Thai authorities to help bring her back to Thailand even if that meant she would have to face trial for her alleged role in the bomb attack.

They said Wanna had been locked up throughout her time in Turkey and even had to give birth to her baby in prison.
