Suspected Erawan shrine bomber Bilal Turk, also known as Adem Karadag, has confirmed he placed a rucksack laden with explosives at the shrine on Aug 17, according to his lawyer.  

Thai police have escorted one of the key suspects in last month’s deadly Bangkok bombing to the scene of the attack for a public re-enactment of his alleged crime.

Thailand’s police chief said the investigation into last week’s bomb blast has been hampered by broken security cameras in central Bangkok along the main suspect’s getaway route.

Sombre horns sounded at the site of Bangkok’s deadly bomb blast as officials joined a multi-religious ceremony for victims of this week’s attack.

UPDATE (5.10pm): An explosion at a popular shrine near a key political protest site in central Bangkok, has reportedly killed at least 16 people and injured dozens of others, officials said.
