An American accused of running a passport-forgery ring in Bangkok confessed to dismembering - but not murdering - a man found in his freezer, Thai police said Saturday, as detectives continue to piece together details of the macabre crime. The 63-year-old suspect, who police initially struggled to identify because of his numerous passports, was arrested one week ago alongside two other Americans accused of producing fake travel documents from their crime den in the Thai capital.
Police also found guns, drugs and the bagged body parts of a foreigner in their freezer. Herbert La Fon, described as the gang's ringleader, allegedly opened fire on police during the raid before the trio was handcuffed and detained.
