Pattaya update News reported that a police checkpoint in North Pattaya on Monday afternoon stopped a Ford car with Rayong plates containing three men and two women. 

 

Pattaya police chief Pol Col Khemmarin Phitsamai revealed that the driver of the car - Sompong Kaewphaijit, 31 - had a handgun at his waist and an UZI submachine gun under his seat.

 

Various ammunition and drugs in the form of ketamine (4.7 grams) and meth in tablet form like sweets (20 pills) was also recovered. 

 

Along with Sompong, two men named Nattaphon, 28, and Jakkrit, 26, were arrested plus two women named Surisa, 29, and Hathaichanok, 19. All were charged with possession of weapons and drugs.

Sompong said that the gun at his waist was for his personal protection and that they had got the drugs from "party goers" at an entertainment venue. 

 

The media further reported that sources in the inquiry told them that background checks revealed that Sompong was jailed for the 19th March 2006 murder of jetski racing champion Theerawat Lahip or "Ork", a crime for which he had only recently been released from jail.

Send him straight back  to jail for a bit longer.

See? Those checkpoints are of use sometimes. ????

OK the hand gun was for protection, now try and explain away the Uzi

A paper weight maybe?

Issued with a new passport and asked politely if he wouldn't mind, assuming he is not too busy, to maybe report to the police before......let's say..... Christmas?

Somebody snitched him in 2006? Revenge plans?

Guess he was not rehabilitated. 

That means he got less than 14 years for 1st degree murder and was planning his next murder but he probably paid the bt500 fine and wai

that doesn't look like an uzi to me

The so called Uzi was for when the hand gun ran out of ammunition.  ????

CZ Sa 25 (vz. 48b), or possibly a 26.  It did influence the design of the UZI, which came later. 

 

After the Sa 25 was declared obsolete in 1968, many of the 9mm weapons have been sold around the world. The surplus weapons were exported to other communist countries including North Vietnam.

about two dozen gun shops here in BBK on this Soi.

 

All these shops all in a row have some really high powered weapons.

 

Looked just like the USA.

I've window shopped there.  I like that area of town.  I used to frequent a tiny hole-in-the-wall Indian restaurant 40 some years ago.  There's a nearby street that is full of tool shops.

It's the only thing Pattaya Plod does.  Every now & then the law of averages suggests they will eventually pull in a plonker such as this killer.

Looks more like a home made weapon using a tube and open bolt fed by (possibly) an UZI magazine.  Open bolt guns are easy to make.  Just ask the Brits.  The Sten had very few moving parts.
