The wife of slain protester Thongnak Sawekchinda said her husband's murder was likely a result of a drop in profits caused by the movement to stop coal being transported through Samut Sakhon.
Jomkwan Sawekchinda, 46, said coal-related companies, and in particular the transport sector, will have been angered by Thongnak's disruption of their business.
She said her husband was a key leader in the fight against the coal business in tambon Tha Sai in Muang district.
