"bullet wounds to her mouth and chin"? In the photo I see a shotgun and shotgun shells, these are not bullets. If this shotgun was indeed the same weapon used by hubby then he fired from quite a distance and wifey has some pellet wounds to her mouth and chin. Close up a shotgun blast would take her face off and very few people ever survive that. Anyway, when shotguns get used in domestic disputes it's way past time to call it a day and get divorced.

Probably general naming shotgun ...., i understand what you call a shotgun , the one with pumping action example a Benelli , which would blow almost away anything if fired short distance

Mr. Boonkerd.

[Golden Triangle]

Is being shot in the Pattaya area as painful as a kick in the goolies ???? 

[Burma Bill]

I wonder if he had a shotgun wedding?????

Err, if that's all he could do with a shotgun, he must have been very drunk, or is a lousy shot.

Funny - when its a foreigner involved, that fact makes the headline title, but when a local, its just referred to as a "man"...
