Picture: Thai Rath

 

Thai Rath reported on a shooting at 8.40 pm Sunday in a repair yard at the Silver Star Golf Club in Phrom Phiram district of Phitsanulok.

 

The golf course is owned by the Region 6 police whose HQ is adjacent to the course.

 

Pongthep Ploiprasong, 46, was given CPR at the scene but was later pronounced dead at the local hospital after medics could not revive him.

 

He had been shot once by a shotgun fired by Thae Ao or Jae, 37, a migrant worker from Myanmar. 

 

A Thai made shotgun and ammunition were recovered.

 

The media reported that the two men lived together and were both workers. The Myanmar man kept the shotgun hidden in a lawnmower.

 

He was apparently angered after the Thai man told him to turn down his radio. 

 

He has been charged with murder and weapons offences.

 

Region 6 chief Ekkarat Limprasert said the incident happened behind the R6 HQ and was being fully investigated.

The shooter was the one with the loud radio. The dead man had the audacity to complain.

Kept a shotgun hidden in his lawnmower.......that is one rough golf course.

You don't have to, it's real in the LOS

I heard of many places to hide a gun ......    lawnmower wasn't one of them

Kept a shotgun in the lawnmower?

Sounds like Ruchill Golf course where you need one to protect you from the tigers locals.

So much wrong with this.

 

A golf club owned by the RTP for a start. A migrant worker keeping a Thai made shotgun and ammunition in a lawn mower...for what, where did he get it, does he have a license? What's wrong with this guy, having been asked to turn his radio down, he shoots the person asking?

I thought Thai people could be quick tempered and viciously violent, but this, well, this takes the bisquit.

I suggest next time there's a noisy radio there, the offended employee calls the cops. After all, they are right next door.

Of course it is all paid for by police wages and no corruption of any kind. Move along now! Nothing to see here.
