Crime Patricide in Maha Sarakham: Son Murders 84-Year-Old Father, Conceals Body in Septic Tank
Picture courtesy of Matichon. In a harrowing incident that has shaken the community of Phayakkhaphum Phisai district in Maha Sarakham province, a 41-year-old man has been arrested for the brutal murder of his 84-year-old father. The body, found in a septic tank behind the family home, had been concealed for three days. The discovery was made on the afternoon of 13 May after Mr Thongsai, the elder son of the deceased, noticed a swarm of flies near the septic tank while preparing to take a tractor out to the fields. Upon closer inspection, he made the gruesome discovery of his father’s body and immediately alerted the police. According to Pol. Col. Chatchai Maiwanta, superintendent of Phayakkhaphum Phisai Police Station, officers arrived promptly and detained the suspect, Mr Sombat, who was found inside the house in an intoxicated and incoherent state. A long-barrel shotgun and a curved blade believed to be the murder weapon were recovered from the scene. Preliminary questioning revealed that Mr Sombat admitted to killing his father, Mr Boonram, following a heated argument. The dispute is believed to have stemmed from a confrontation over Mr Sombat’s refusal to assist with ploughing the fields. Enraged, he allegedly attacked his father with the curved blade, severing his right hand, a wound thought to have been inflicted as the elderly man tried to defend himself, before repeatedly striking him, causing fatal injuries to the face and body. After the murder, Mr Sombat is believed to have waited until nightfall before dragging the body to the rear of the property and disposing of it in the septic tank. Police have charged him with murder of a parent and concealment of a corpse. Relatives have since revealed that Mr Sombat had a long history of drug use and mental illness, and had previously undergone psychiatric treatment. He was known to have violent outbursts when off his medication and frequently quarrelled with both parents. Despite the family’s fears, no one expected the situation to escalate to such horrific violence. Mr Thongsai, the victim’s elder son, recounted that the father had asked Mr Sombat to help with ploughing but was refused. When Mr Sombat also withheld the tractor keys, Mr Thongsai had duplicate keys made and hired outside help to complete the job. Days later, after their father went missing and suspicions grew, the family launched a search, only to finally discover the body in the septic tank. Bloodstains marked the bedroom where the attack took place and the septic tank, just metres away from the living quarters, now serves as a haunting reminder of the incident. Despite claiming confusion over the incident, Mr Sombat did admit to reporters, “It’s happened a few times. He tried to hurt me… I don’t know what to say. After I slashed him, I put him in the septic tank. I’ve never used drugs. I didn’t think it would end like this. I do feel guilty.” Authorities continue to investigate the case, and the community has called for the justice system to pursue the matter to its fullest extent.

Crime Forest Ranger in Chiang Mai Goes on Shooting Rampage, Injures Colleagues
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Panic broke out at a forest ranger outpost in Chiang Mai’s Chiang Dao district after a ranger opened fire on his colleagues, injuring two, before being shot and apprehended by police. Fellow officers suspect the shooter may have been suffering from hallucinations brought on by alcohol or drugs. The incident occurred on 14 May at the Phatang Forest Protection Unit, located within the Doi Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary. Officers from Chiang Dao Police Station responded to reports of a shooting at the ranger station following an emergency call from the site’s radio unit. Two people were injured in the incident: Mr. Pichet, 39, head of the Phatang unit, was shot in the left shin, while Mr. Chawalit, 40, another ranger, was shot in the foot and toes. Both were quickly rushed to Chiang Dao Hospital by colleagues. The suspected gunman, Mr. Sathaporn 36, was found at the scene in a dazed, incoherent state, armed and attempting to flee into the forest. Police attempted to approach and subdue him, but when he raised his weapon in resistance, officers shot him once in the side in self-defence. The bullet passed through his torso, and he was immediately taken to Chiang Dao Hospital for treatment. Initial investigations revealed that Mr. Sathaporn had returned from a night patrol earlier that morning and was later seen consuming alcohol at the checkpoint shelter. When other officers arrived for duty handover, they noticed him drinking but did not intervene. Without warning, Mr. Sathaporn allegedly pulled out his pistol and began firing at his colleagues, approximately six or seven shot, striking two people. Witnesses said he appeared drunk and muttered to himself before opening fire. As others scrambled for cover, the gunman stayed at the scene, showing no intent to escape. Police have seized the weapon and ammunition used in the shooting and are continuing their investigation to determine the exact motive behind the attack.
