Jealous ex shoots wife's new husband at Nakorn Sri Thammarat grocery store

 

Picture: Sanook

 

It had only been three months since forty five year old Wichan Kanchananukoon had lost his wife to the affections of the local grocery store owner. 

 

His wife Sa-Orn keauklai, 44, had moved in with Somchai Phonsap, 46. 

 

But resentment festered in the mind of Wichan as he continued life in the southern Thai town. 

 

When Wichan, an assistant to the poo yai ban in charge of security in the area, went to have a drink outside the shop of his rival on Monday night a jealous argument erupted. 

 

Wichan went home furious on his Honda Dream. There he picked up a .38 gun and returned to the store. 

 

At point blank range he shot his ex wife's new husband in the head.

 

He then fled the scene but was soon in the custody of the Lan Saka police. Somchai died in hospital from his injuries.

 

Wichan admitted everything and was taken on a re-enactment to the scene of the crime. 

 

He has been charged with murder and weapons offences and detained.

Thainess,  Buddhist ideals and easy gun access at its illustrative best combination of evil deeds.

The Thai Male Ego is the most fragile thing in the world.

So he shoots him in front of a cctv, typical idiotic Thai criminal behavouir, why not wait and ambush him in some dark alley,sure he probably would have been caught , but maybe not,anyway looks like he will serve a long stretch.

Looking for a Thai girlfriend, fiancée or wife? Make sure she's a widow and all family members died in a road accident!

"If I can't beat you, no one else gets the pleasure." Baby Thai men, coddled from birth by Mother and Sisters and demand same from a wife forever.

It's a "crime of passion" with very little rational thought process involved.

But in this "crime of passion" , the shooter had time to reflect while he returned home to fetch the gun, which he just happened to have at home, before returning to the shop to shoot the new husband at point-blank range.  Not the accepted version of a crime of passion, I think, but more of a premeditated murder.

Not sure that behavior will win his wife back.

RIP...and this idiot gets out soon..

My first reaction to this was to scoff at the "Buddhist ideals" part but then I reconsidered and looked it up. This is what I found:

In Buddhism, the law of karma, says "for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful." Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that the responsibility for unskillful actions is borne by the person who commits them.

Yes, I do agree with you that the definition certainly applies with "time to reflect" but still ... "very little rational thought process involved" stands, as well as this is Thailand and here the definition may not be afforded the same legal strength as in the west. That, and the amount of time between this particular confrontation and the final action doesn't seem to have been rational, but of course, that will be for the court to decide.
