Udom, a retired chief superintendent of police (CSP), was killed in the early hours of yesterday on his way to church for early morning prayers. crackdownews understands that the late police chief had been working as an undercover informant for the police, in order to reveal the identity of those behind the notorious activities of masquerades around the area. “The man became the target of the masked men, because he had been working with the police to track those behind the dangerous activities of masquerades in the area,” a source said, adding that Udom died after several machete cuts were inflicted on him by the fleeing masked men.
