Thai man shoots love rival dead with a crossbow

 

Picture: Workpoint News

 

A Thai man - furious that another man was carrying on with his young wife - shot his rival with a dart from a crossbow as he opened the door.

 

Then as the victim slumped to the floor he fired a second time into his chest.

 

Treepong Butsopha, 29, of Buriram was killed on Monday evening by his work colleague Samai Krungkhunthot, 52, from Chaiyaphum.

 

The two men worked at the same factory.

 

Workpoint News reported that Chonburi police led Samai to some apartment rooms yesterday for a reenactment of the crime.

 

In tears Samai said that Treepong started sleeping with his 25 year old wife about a year ago.

 

He said he found out and ordered the pair to get out of his sight.

 

But they came back to share rooms in the same apartment building he was living in.

 

This was too much for him to take.

 

He got his wife's family to take her away but said that Treepong was still in contact with her.

 

So he called at his room armed with the crossbow and shot him twice.

 

Friends came and wrested the weapon from his arms.

 

Police have charged him with murder.

If I say, yet another insecure Thai man (relationship wise), will the same poster come out with the "Racist rubbish" drivel reply ?

Let him come! This happens so frequently here, so sooner or later he will realize.

I guess this man could have been far better off with a new relationship and letting his wife go. Shit, I forgot! That means he would need to think before acting. Not very common as we all see on almost a daily basis.

[Thechook]

I think these old guys, both thai and farang have to realise these relationships with young women Don't really work.  Young women prefer strong young studs to the grandpa figure.

[Ulysses G.]

Moving into the same apartment building does seem a bit much.

[gk10002000]

He will do little time. The wife was fooling around, the other guy was fooling around.  The verdict if it ever goes to trial will be minimal.

[nausea]

That's no crossbow, it's a rubber-band speargun. They're used for fishing. I'm a bit surprised it was powerful enough to disable and kill.

Why do guys always go after the man sleeping with their wife?

The man is doing no wrong, the wife is committing adultery... shoot her.

The Thai version of William Tell...

But he did quite well by local standards, telling them to take off. They had to come back and rub his nose in it, just for a laugh.

Cheap spy glass in the door , saved a life, saved a life from ruin,

[BradinAsia]

Bob, it takes two to commit adultery. How do you figure the man did no wrong?

 

You are not Taliban, are you?

[seminomadic]

Thai guy clearly doesn't know who George Harrison was and how he handled a similar situation.

[IamNoone88]

Thats what happens when you allow pride to ***k with you....

[wvavin]

Personally, I feel that this is an outright provocation by the younger guy thinking Mr Samai is a sitting duck.

Prepare to be crucified for this post, remember the demographics of Thaivisa are mainly older guys.

But grandpa good for money, yes?

[phantomfiddler]

Why, in Thailand of all places, would someone have an affair with someone else,s wife ? and then rub it in the face of the husband ! Som nam na, he won,t be doing it again !

Yes you are right. They are powerful enough to kill and have been used for that purpose in the past.

With around 70 million Thai people, ya figure a few loonies are enough to call out the whole male demographic?  Jealous husbands and jealous wives have been murdering their spouses and their lovers for millennia, and all over the world. 

 

That's why they invented the Restraining Order back in nanny land...

Then why buy the crossbow thingy?

What a waste of resources to not use it every now and then.

I agree but the reaction might be deemed a tad 'overkill'?  and he shot 'twice' so had to reload that 'William Tell' thing

[Lupatria]

At least he chose a weapon reflecting the medieval intellectual mindset of way to many in this society. Thailand 1400 point zero.

[patrick kennedy]

Thaiwrath,When you know very well what the reaction will be,WHY THEN DO YOU SAY IT?You make a rod for your own back.Im sure you can make a remark that would go down well,then you dont have to read all the usual dribble,I agree that is exactly what we all get here in cases like this,and others.
