A 25-year-old Hong Kong man wanted by the police for his alleged involvement in a murder in Fo Tan last month has been arrested in Pattaya, Thailand.

He will be deported from the country.

Thai media quoted the country's Immigration Bureau as saying that officers made the arrest at a rented house in a beach town on Monday.

The man, identified only as Truong, was with his Thai girlfriend at the time.

It was reported that Hong Kong authorities had sought assistance from Thailand after an arrest warrant was issued.

A 52-year-old man was certified dead after an attack by two men on Lai Wo Lane last month.

The force in Hong Kong have so far arrested three people.
