The Defence Department says both suspects in the murder in Thailand of a man with links to BC gangs had been in the army, but it can't confirm whether they served together.
The suspects include Gene Lahrkamp, who was killed in a plane crash in northwestern Ontario last week, and a man arrested in Alberta in February.
Thai police allege Lahrkamp and Matthew Dupre fled to Canada following the murder of Jimi Sandhu in Phuket on February 4th.
The Defence Department says both served as infantrymen in the army and left the military as corporals, Dupre from October 2005 to August 2013 and Lahrkamp from February 2012 to February 2018.
