Military Court frees Erawan bomb suspect on B1m bail

The Military Court yesterday granted bail to a woman accused of involvement in the Erawan shrine bombing.

Wanna Suansan, 29, was released on bail with 1 million baht surety on condition she remains in the country.

She is required to report to authorities on a regular basis.

Police arrested Ms Wanna at Suvarnabhumi airport on Nov 22 after she returned to the country voluntarily from Turkey and charged her in connection with the Aug 17, 2015 shrine bombing that killed 20 people and wounded 130 others.

Ms Wanna is accused of providing shelter to two suspects, Yusufu Mieraili and Adem Karadag, also known a Bilal Mohammed, who are being detained at the 11th Army Circle while awaiting trial for conspiracy to murder and attempted murder.

Ms Wanna had been detained by Turkish authorities along with her husband since 2015 before being allowed to return to Thailand without her husband. She arrived with her two young sons, aged one and three years old.
