Crime Man Shot Dead by Ex-Friend in Suspected Love Triangle
Picture courtesy of SiamNews. A 38-year-old minivan driver was shot dead in a Bangkok car park by a man once believed to be his close friend, in what police suspect was a crime of passion involving a long-running affair with the gunman’s wife. The shooting occurred around midday on 1 August, at a residential car park near Building 4 on Soi Tha Kham 6, Tha Kham Road, Samae Dam, Bang Khun Thian district. Officers from Tha Kham Police Station, along with forensic doctors from Siriraj Hospital and rescue volunteers, attended the scene after receiving reports of gunfire. The victim, Mr Anucha, was found lying in a pool of blood with seven gunshot wounds to his body. Seven bullet casings were recovered nearby. His motorcycle was parked a short distance away and a beer bottle was found near the scene. According to initial witness statements, the victim had reportedly been in a romantic relationship with a woman known only as Ms Noi 37, who was still married to the suspect, Mr Sira 35, a fellow minivan driver and long-time friend of the deceased. Ms May 34, a friend of the victim, said that prior to the shooting, the group had been drinking together at a bar near Rama II Road, where tensions began to rise. The victim later escorted Ms Noi back to her residence, where the fatal shooting took place. Ms May added that Mr Anucha and Ms Noi had been seeing each other for some time and were frequently seen together in public. Mr Sira was reportedly aware of the affair and tensions between the couple had not subsided despite their continued cohabitation. Heated exchanges between the two men had become commonplace. Ms Kaew, the former wife of the deceased, revealed that the love triangle had deeper roots. She explained that two years earlier, she had hired Mr Sira’s wife, a university graduate with strong English skills, to tutor her three children. However, the relationship between the tutor and her then-husband became intimate, leading to an affair that Ms Kaew discovered five months ago. The discovery resulted in a divorce. She believes the killing was driven by unresolved resentment over the affair. “My ex-husband and the suspect used to be close friends. But after what happened between him and the suspect’s wife, things were never the same,” she said. Following the incident, the suspect fled the scene before police arrived. Authorities are now working to track down Mr Sira, who remains at large. The victim’s body has been taken to Siriraj Hospital’s forensic unit for further examination. Police have stated that they are treating the case as a murder motivated by jealousy and personal betrayal. A manhunt is currently underway. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-08-03 -

69% of Americans think the government is hiding something about Jeffrey Epstein
Well yeah a bit of backlash from his hard core supporters over this. But they won't turn on him. Now it's the left and DEM Senators taking up the chant. Most of Trumps voters, like myself, never cared about Epstein. To be honest I never noticed Trump making that big of a fuss. Yeah I'm sure I read it at one point but that isn't what decides my voting decision. Then again I am not a 24/7 political maniac. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Villagers & Teachers Weep as Tributes Laid at Petrol Station
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Grieving locals and teachers gathered in tears to lay flowers outside a convenience store at a PTT petrol station in Kantharalak District on 1 August, marking a site where a BM-21 rocket strike recently claimed the lives of innocent civilians. The tragic event has left the community in deep mourning. The attack came as a shock to residents, as the site of the strike lies well beyond what many had assumed was the safe zone. One local said, tearfully, “The petrol station is quite far from the border, we never imagined rockets would reach this deep into the community.” At the refugee centre in Si Sa Ket, now housing hundreds displaced by the violence, local officials held a traditional Bai Sri Su Kwan blessing ceremony led by Brahmin priests to lift the spirits of evacuees. The ritual, rooted in ancient Isaan tradition, included the tying of white threads around the wrists of children and elders alike as village elders recited blessings, urging peace and better days ahead. The ceremony marked the 10th day since evacuations began along the Thai-Cambodian border, where instability and sporadic conflict have driven families from their homes. Smiles and quiet sobs filled the air as villagers embraced, some unable to hold back tears. Throughout the day, mourners visited the PTT petrol station’s forecourt, placing flowers at the convenience store entrance – now a makeshift memorial. One woman, clutching a small bouquet of ixora flowers from her garden, said she had come “with all my heart” to bid farewell to those lost, particularly a female store worker and a child who died in the blast. “The mother was found holding her child,” she said, her voice breaking. “I have children too. I can’t bear to imagine it. I came to pray their spirits find peace.” A co-worker of the deceased store employee sobbed uncontrollably as she described the loss. “We worked side by side. She was kind and always smiling. No one deserved this. We’re pleading for justice. We hope our leaders see what has happened and act. This cannot end here.” Captain Santi Mongkolkaew, a civil affairs officer from the 23rd Ranger Regiment, was among the first to reach the scene on the day of the attack. “When I heard the explosion, I rushed there immediately. Flames were engulfing the store. We didn’t know if another strike was coming, we just acted to save lives,” he said. Now, 10 days on, he says the memory remains vivid. “I never thought civilians would become targets in this conflict. The people had no warning. Our duty now is to protect and support them in any way we can.” Related article: https://aseannow.com/topic/1367711-cambodian-bm-21-rocket-strike-hits-petrol-station-injures-dozens-including-students/ Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-08-03 -

Crime Gunman 16 Arrested for Killing Rival in Rayong Shooting
Picture courtesy of Daily News. A 16-year-old boy has been arrested for fatally shooting a peer of the same age in Rayong Province, following a long-standing personal feud. Police have charged the suspect with five serious offences, while efforts continue to track down his accomplices. The incident occurred in the early hours of 1 August along Wat Map Kha Road in Moo 4, Map Kha Subdistrict, Nikhom Phatthana District. According to police, a dispute between two groups of teenagers escalated into violence when the suspect, identified only as Kritsana, allegedly used a homemade handgun to fire on his rival group. One of the bullets struck 16-year-old Sarayut, known as “Dep”, beneath his right rib cage. He was rushed to Map Ta Phut Hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead. A bystander, Ms. Ratchanee, 44, was also injured in the crossfire, suffering a gunshot wound to her left ankle. Following the shooting, officers from Nikhom Phatthana Police Station, led by Pol. Col. Chaipong Saengphongchai and his investigation team, quickly launched a manhunt. The suspect was apprehended shortly after the incident and confessed during questioning. Kritsana told police he was riding past the victim’s home when he spotted Dep’s group. He initially fired a shot into the air as a warning and rode away, but returned later to find they were waiting for him. He then fired two more shots before fleeing the scene. The firearm, a homemade pistol, was seized during the arrest. Police have charged the teenager with: 1. Murder 2. Attempted murder 3. Possession of an unlicensed firearm 4. Carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause 5. Discharging a firearm in a public area without justification Investigators are continuing their search for others involved in the crime.
