Police shoot dead drug suspect in Udon Thani

[snoop1130]

 

Police in Udon hunted down a Ya Ba dealer who had taunted them saying he would never give up and would fight like a tiger.

 

Thongsuk, 50, was named in a warrant for murder and weapons and moving a corpse offences issued by the Udon court in Thailand's north east on August 11th.

 

Two days earlier he had murdered a 47 year old man called Banjong in Chiang Wang sub-district of Phen district.  It was over a Ya Ba deal. 

 

Information received by the police led them to a field elsewhere in Phen district where they came across the suspect riding a Honda motorcycle. 

 

He fled and in the chase crashed into a roadside klong.

 

He ditched his bike and ran off into a field where other officers were blocking his path. He fired at the officers three times, reported Daily News.

 

They responded with many shots of their own.

 

He was hit once in the leg and four times in the chest. The media called it a judicial killing.

 

A henchman of the dead suspect is also now in custody and an arrest warrant is out for a 16 year old boy in connection with the case.

I guess shooting dead drug suspects is better than shooting live noodle vendors...

If he was dead why did they need to shoot him?

If you fire at the police with a gun you deserve to be shot at. No pity from me.

I'm not sure why the headline refers to him as a drug suspect, when in fact he was also a murder suspect... and in my book that's a bit more serious.

Training for the next protest?

Agreed 100%

They should shoot all drug dealers, traffickers IMO and save the taxpayer from paying to keep them alive.
