webfact Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Korat: Thai man arrested on attempted murder charge eight years after shooting in Bangkok Picture: INN Thai police arrested a 45 year old man at a market in Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima yesterday just over 8 years after he allegedly shot at a group of men eating at a restaurant in Bang Na, south east of Bangkok. Thamrong was named in a warrant for attempted murder and weapons possession issued by the Phrakhanong court in August 2013. After the warrant was issued he disappeared. The warrant came after a shooting on December 28th 2011 at a restaurant in Soi Phian Phan in Bang Na. It is alleged that Thamrong used a shotgun to fire into a group of men including someone named only as "F". Thamrong denies attempted murder. He said that he was attacked first in a fist fight and seeing as he is only a small guy he used a gun to defend himself. He was taken back to Bang Na police station.

As for 8 years to find him ? Should have just declared he won some lottery money and he'd have been at the office within 24 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 A shotgun, being quite large and a close quarters weapon was not on his person at the time he was beaten up? Does possession of a shotgun in this country require a licence of some kind? Was he licenced to possess such a weapon? Too buy it and ammunition? To carry it in a public place? He was allegedly attacked first in a fist fight, and seeing he is only a small guy, he used a gun to defend himself. The defence angle fails, as he did not use the gun at the time of the alleged attack by fist fight. I suspect that the winner of said alleged fist fight would have removed the shotgun from this guy's possession quick smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
