Man, 27, shot dead at Bangkok noodle shop

By THE NATION

 

 

A 27-year-old man was shot dead at a noodle shop in Bangkoi Yai district in front of his wife and baby.

 

At 9pm of Friday, Tha Phra Police Station were alerted of a shooting at a noodle shop on Jaran Sanitwong Road, Wat Tha Phra subdistrict, Bangkok Yai district.

 

At the scene they found the body of Athit (last name withheld) with four gunshot wounds on his chest.

 

 

The shop owner, Jaran, 59, who is the mother-in-law of the deceased, reportedly said that Athit, who was working as an engineer at a construction company, was helping in the shop with her husband, her daughter, and their one-month-old child, when a motorcycle with two riders parked in front of the shop.

 

“A small-built man around 160 centimetres tall, who was riding pillion, entered the shop and shot Athit multiple times before getting on the motorcycle and riding towards the Tha Phra intersection,” she said.

 

Police are gathering evidence and reviewing CCTV footage along the route where the suspects escaped.

 

“This looks like a planned assassination, as the gunman pinpointed the victim with no collateral damage,” said Pol Colonel Preecha Phengphao, Tha Phra police chief. “We are also looking into the victim’s background to see if he has any enemies or conflict that could have motivated the attack.”

Seems like the cops have not a lot to go here but I am sure they will soon determine it was either a love triangle or a business dispute and leave it at that.

working as an engineer at a construction company says it all. Probably not happy being told to use sub standard material.

  To be targeted like that, with four shots to the chest,  and no one else shot, he was obviously involved in something dark and questionable and really ______ someone off. At least that is my guess.

Right on ! perhaps he insisted that the drainage pipes must have a continuous fall. R.I.P.

Maybe the dodgy tiling in the bathrooms?
