Cop accused of killing coworker often argued over loud music, say neighbours

By The Nation

 

 

A constable-ranked police officer, who allegedly shot and killed his colleague and the wife of his colleague in Chaiyaphum on Wednesday night, has been temporarily dismissed from the force to make way for a serious disciplinary probe, said deputy national police spokesman Colonel Krissana Pattanacharoen on Thursday.

 

Pol Senior Sgt-Major Chiwanon Napha also faces a murder charge, he said.

 

Neighbours said Chiwanon often quarreled over his drinking and loud music with Pol Senior Sgt-Major Thongplaew Larprasong and his wife who lived next door in the police apartment building in Chaiyaphum’s Phukhieo district.

 

Krissana reported the case to national police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda who has offered condolences to the family and relatives of the slain couple, and instructed officers to provide them aid and quickly and thoroughly examine the case.

 

The national chief also urged all police supervisors to monitor their subordinates' behaviour and keep them in line to prevent recurrence of the tragedy, Krissana said.

 

Chiwanon – who had reportedly been under stress over family problems – was described as appearing drunk when he allegedly shot dead Thongplaew, 46, and Thongplaew's wife, on Wednesday.

 

Chiwanon the fled to his room in the same police apartment building in Chaiyaphum’s Phukhieo district, causing a stand-off with police until he came out and was apprehended and his gun seized at 4.25am on Thursday.

 

Residents of the building said Chiwanon often got drunk and quarreled with his wife until she eventually took their children and returned to her home in another province.

 

They said Chiwanon also often quarreled over his drinking and loud music with Thongplaew and his wife.

How about murder/manslaughter? Serious disciplinary probe bulls hit!!! He will be on his toes and over a border before they can get a committee started to consider what to do next.

 

And yet they can quickly lock up a guy for feeding a fish when he was not supposed to. Sheesh!

Why not for all the Thais...

America invaded Panama and used loud music as a tool to drive Noriega and his palace guard nuts. This policeman has a valid defense. Noise in Thailand has gone viral.

Totally agree ,i moved about 2 km out of Wichianburi,not a big town,but the noise there nearly drove me insane,now i live out in the sticks and all i hear at night is frogs and crickets,i can see the stars. Only when they have the mullam music concerts at the big temple on the outskirts of town do i hear some noise,it seemed to finish at 3am,but my friend who lives in town said they turned it down a bit,he could hear it until 5.30 am,how this is allowed is beyond me.

They should rename this lovely looking place-'Crippen lane' comes to mind.

I think the shooter was the one drinking and playing loud music..he was miffed his colleagues complained so shot them.

But yes noise can be used as a form of torture.
