Crime Gunman Armed with Rifle & Handgun Attacks Home in Kanchanaburi
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have identified the gunman involved in a chilling armed attack on a private residence in Kanchanaburi province, in what authorities believe is linked to a dispute over the smuggling of illegal migrant workers. The suspect remains at large after failing to respond to a police summons. CCTV footage from a home in Soi Dong Sak, in Wang Ka village, Sangkhlaburi district, shows a man wearing a pink head covering concealing his identity, approaching the house with both a rifle and a handgun. At around 22:15 on 15 May, the man can be seen sneaking across the road and entering the garage area of the property. He attempts to fire the rifle, but it jams. He then draws the handgun and fires a shot toward an individual in a green shirt sitting inside the house. The bullet narrowly misses, and the suspect flees on foot moments later. The homeowner confirmed to reporters on 21 May that he and others had been sitting at the centre table in the house when the gunman appeared. Fortunately, no one was injured in the attack. According to Pol. Col. Santi Pitaksakul, superintendent of Sangkhlaburi Police Station, the suspect has been identified as a man named Mr O, a former army conscript who previously worked with individuals associated with the household. The motive, investigators believe, stems from retaliation. One of the targeted individuals had been providing authorities with intelligence on local human trafficking operations, which led to multiple arrests, one of whom was a relative of the gunman. Police have since issued a summons for Mr O, but he has yet to present himself for questioning. Investigators are now pursuing the suspect with the assistance of local units, and efforts are underway to bring him into custody for further interrogation and prosecution. This incident has intensified concerns over the dangers faced by whistleblowers and informants involved in exposing illegal border trafficking in the western provinces.

Accident Lightning Strike Kills Farmer in Front of Father
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 34-year-old man was killed instantly by a lightning strike while sheltering from the rain with his father in a small hut in the middle of a rice field in Buriram province. The father, who was sitting just inches away, survived unscathed. The incident occurred at around 14:00 on 20 May in the village of Khok Khao Pattana, Kok Mamuang Subdistrict, Pakham District. Police Lieutenant Wiwat Nama-asa from Pakham Police Station responded to the emergency call along with forensic officers and rescue volunteers. The victim, Mr Thossaphon, a local resident, had gone out with his father, Mr Boonkoet 57, to plough their fields using a seated tractor. When rain began to fall, the pair sought shelter in a small wooden hut flanked by two tamarind trees approximately 2 km from the nearest village. While the rain began to ease, a sudden bolt of lightning struck the hut. Mr Boonkoet recounted the harrowing moment: “We were sitting against the same wooden post, our backs nearly touching. Suddenly there was a blinding flash followed by a deafening crack. I felt a tingling shock down my spine and heat on my back. When I turned around, my son was slumped over, unresponsive. I held his head and saw he had burns across his body and foam at the mouth. He was already gone.” Emergency responders found Mr Thossaphon’s body with severe burns from the head down to his torso, as well as multiple bone fractures. Signs of a lightning strike were visible on the hut’s wooden post. His mother, Mrs Kamonrat 52, expressed heartbreak over a sentimental loss, her son’s two-baht gold necklace, which he had worn since his monkhood, was destroyed in the incident. “We searched all around the hut and found only a few melted fragments of the chain. He was such a good son, always working hard. It’s devastating.” Medical officials later explained that Mr Boonkoet likely survived due to the wooden post they leaned against remaining dry, preventing the electrical discharge from reaching him. Authorities have documented the scene and will continue investigations as per legal procedures. The case serves as a tragic reminder of the dangers of lightning during rainy season.
