Security officials in Thai say a key suspect in the Bangkok shrine bombing has confessed giving a bag containing a device to the man who carried out the attack.
The National Police spokesman, Prawut Thavornsiri’s announcement was made on Wednesday as the suspect, Yusufu Mieraili, was taken to a train station in Bangkok to re-enact the alleged handover.
The man, wearing a yellow T-shirt, was seen placing a backpack at the popular shrine, shortly before the explosion.
The suspect had allegedly told police that he travelled to the station from an apartment in the outskirts of Bangkok where police had found bomb-making materials in an earlier raid.
Mr Mieraili, who has not been charged, was intercepted earlier this month as he attempted to cross the border into Cambodia.
Police have not confirmed his nationality but said he was carrying a Chinese passport.
Presently, two foreigners are in police custody, but the bomber has not been found.
Bangkok attack which happened on August 17, killed 20 people.
