A 50,000 baht reward has been offered to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrests of the two perpetrators of the shooting on Friday of a candidate in the Kuan Chum sub-district administrative organization (SAO) chief election in Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

 

The reward is being offered by Democrat MP for the southern province, Chaichana Detdecho. The cash was received by Pol Maj-Gen Somchai Suetortrakul, commander of the provincial police.

 

The candidate, Chaiyuth Kaewboonthong, sustained serious injuries when he was shot by two men riding a motorcycle, as he was campaigning ahead of the election on Sunday.

 

The victim, riding his motorcycle, plunged into a roadside drain and was rushed to Ronpiboon district hospital by villagers.
