webfact Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Korat: Mayor of Khong district dead from shot to the head - he'd just been showing 2 year old his gun, says Thai media Picture: Sanook Police and rescue services went to a Mini Mart in the area of Khong market in the province of Nakhon Ratchasima after reports that a man had been shot. The mayor of the district was found in a pool of blood in bed in a bedroom on the second floor. A .380 gun was on the floor. Adul, 58, was rushed to hospital but died there from a bullet wound that entered by the chin and got embedded in the nape of the neck. Sanook said that the mayor had been playing with the gun with a two and a half year old grandchild. Khong police chief Pol Col Phichet Jantharat said that relatives told investigators that the mayor had gone to his room alone after dinner to shower and perform religious rituals as was his normal habit. Thirty minutes later they heard a shot and rushed to the room to find him shot in the head and a gun lying on the floor. Police are examining gun residue to get to the truth of what happened.

nausea Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Yeah, I always remember those two British soldiers, beaten up and shot with their own gun - a gun is a dangerous thing to have around. Whether it's more dangerous to you, and your loved ones, or your opponents is a moot point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"m an engineer and the building, engineering, general intellect and education of most Thais is way below western standards.. I'm not surprised.

graemeaylward Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The mayor should surely be regarded as a pillar of the community and somewhat more intelligent than average. Why on earth would he need a gun let alone play with it! Why anyone needs to possess a gun of any description is beyond me! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mayor of our area is as thick as two short planks and only interested in people giving him extra Wai's and screwing money out of any Village projects that he can; they see the title as a chance to make money and that's all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
