Drunk man allegedly shoots son dead

By The Nation

 

 

A drunk father in Chachoengsao province shot his son in the chest on Saturday night (July 18) before calling his wife and confessing to the alleged filicide.

 

Police came to the scene of the alleged crime after being informed and found Narong Khaek-on, 62, intoxicated with alcohol. They managed to take him to the police station for questioning.

 

The body of Piyapong Khaek-on, 34, lay on the kitchen table with a gunshot on the left chest. A rescue team took the body to Banpho Hospital for an autopsy.

 

The neighbours said that after Narong shot his son, he went berserk and continued firing into the sky while shouting with anger.

 

Malee Khaek-on, 67, the victim’s mother, said the father and the son usually fought and Narong had been imprisoned in the past for murder.

Formality.

The crime has not been proven in a court of law, therefore, he is innocent until proven guilty.

 

He is alleged to have shot his son to death until that time.

Committed a murder before????

Kudos. I can barely get my gun out of the holster when I'm smashed, let alone shoot straight.

I find free to own a gun more frightening

It's common, I regularly read such cases in thai news often, some day ago a man got shot in a pub, it was reported he had shot and killed 2 people at 2 different occasions. It did not say if he has been in prison or not.

I live in a small village in the north of Thailand. My girlfriend already pointed out to me several people that have killed other people in their pasts. I'd say it's par for the course here. Best be on your toes and don't make anyone angry.
