Man in custody for allegedly throwing grenade into apartment of girl he loved

By The Nation

 

 

A lovelorn man is suspected of throwing an explosive into the apartment of the girl he loved in a residential area of Lat Phrao district in Bangkok on Monday evening. 

 

Lat Phrao Police Station was notified at 9pm about the suspected device on Monday. The police and officers from Explosive Ordnance Disposal headed to the scene and found an M26 grenade. Fortunately, the device was not activated.

 

One of the witnesses said he saw a man riding a motorcycle into Nawamin 95 alley and stop outside an apartment building at around 8pm.

 

Suddenly, he threw something into an apartment on the third floor through a window.

 

The couple living in the apartment said they were terrified when the device landed inside but luckily the grenade did not explode. 

 

Saranya Krueboon, the apartment building’s manager, said the offender was likely a 50-year-old resident of the area who lived in the same alley and was madly in love with the couple’s 20-year-old daughter but she already has a boyfriend.

 

Before the incident, the daughter had taken her boyfriend to meet her parents and the suspect apparently became jealous leading him to commit the alleged crime.

 

Police have arrested the alleged offender and taken him to Lat Phrao Police Station for further investigations.

Nothing says I love you more than a grenade explosion that kills the parents of the girl and the girl. ????

there ya go, in my past life as a caveman i use to bash them over the head then drag them back to my cave, i see little has changed much since my reincarnation, hello you thicko, she already has a boyfriend, duh ??

[Curmudgeon1]

Nothing says "I loved you" more than blowing up her, her family and surrounding neighbors????

really have to wonder how in the hell he got the grenade in the first place, police need to get the one that sold/allowed him to have it and arrest them as well. Far too easy in Thailand to get weapons and explosives

I was always taught to "say it with flowers" as in send a bunch of roses or something...

I guess a grenade is Thai style?

When I was younger the grenades had to be armed ,meaning a detonator had to be inserted which from memory resembled the old single shot nail gun cartridge.The lever and pin were then assembled. They were not stored armed only prior to actual use .

Amazing how many stories you hear of civilians getting their hands on military grade weapons!
