webfact Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported on the aftermath of one of Thailand's most extraordinary killing sprees of recent years - the gun rampage through the Chanthaburi countryside in Pong Nam Rorn and Soi Dao districts of Prasit "Sia Daeng" Phuthongsuk. The 48 year old businessman was taken on a reenactment by former immigration chief Pol Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang, now RTP assistant commissioner general. Joined by fifty officers the force took Prasit - in flak jacket and helmet - to the Tamoon market where his horror rampage began with two shootings. It was decided not to take him to two other spots in the countryside of Chanthaburi, eastern/central Thailand, because they were private lands where relatives were waiting and it might not be safe for the suspect. TV crews and reporters jostled to hear the words of the unrepentant killer who has said that his four victims deserved to die. He said that he had lived with his former wife Wanphen, 49, in her house for about a year. He claimed to have sold a six wheel truck and 8 baht weight of gold to enter into a lamyai business with her. But their relationship turned sour after she had a go at his parents and they split up. He said they had gone to the police station where his wife agreed to return 200,000 baht to him but she did not do this. This infuriated him. Picture: Thai Rath So on Sunday he drove his Honda MSX to the market after hearing that she would be there and waited to ambush her. He saw her arrive in her Toyota Fortuner and crossed the road as she got out of the driver's seat. He went up to her and said: "Jam Goo Daii Mai" - Do you f*%&ing remember me? He shot her once in the body that felled her then finished her off with a shot to the head. He then calmly picked up her car keys. He got in the vehicle where her daughter Oraya or "Bow" was sitting in the passenger seat in the front. He shot her three times. Picture: Thai Rath Then, with Bow still in the car dead, he drove off to a lamyai (longan) orchard where he had a score to settle with Theerachart,44. Theerachart had taken out loans with his parents that he had not repaid. He claimed that Theerachart had even bought a new car rather than pay off his debts. He was shot twice. Then it was off to a property 25 kilometers away to see Bunruam, 48, who he shot multiple times. He said that Bunruam had sold him a gun for 17,000 baht that turned out to be a BB gun. Prasit wanted his money back but Bunruam refused. When he refused to even return 7,000 baht Prasit harbored a grudge that festered. Thai Rath described both the male victims as "friends" of the shooter who used a .38 gun in his rampage. After shooting Bunruam, Prasit drove 10 kilometers to a bar where he opened a bottle of spirits and started drinking. He called his 18 year old daughter to come and pick him up and help him flee but at that moment the police arrived and he was taken into custody on murder and weapons charges. Sompong said that he was asked by the RTP chief to ensure the case was being handled properly as it was a brazen case in the public interest. The suspect is set to appear in court today.

Stargeezr Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I think that any where in the world, when someone kills multiple people, the only sentence should be the death sentence. It is too bad that so many countries have ended capital punishment, or the death sentence, as it is considered to be a barbaric act. Killers like this who are only given jail sentences, do not deserve to stay among the living. Sadly I live in a country that does not even have a death sentence no matter how many people are killed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's retribution you're after, it's fair to say that a life sentence in a Thai prison would be worse than execution by a relatively humane method. The important thing is that this man be removed from society so that he can't kill anyone else. If you also want him to suffer, a Thai prison for the rest of his life should do the trick.

The death sentance has been proven time and time again to be completely ineffective in detering people from committing serious crimes (like murder) as the vast majority of these crimes are impulsive and not pre-meditated. There is no room for murdering your own citizens in a civilised society (hence why most civilised societies got rid of it decades ago) as it's just vengeance. P.S. That's also not taking into account those wrongly accused. 'Since 1972, more than 7,800 defendants have been sentenced to death in the USA; of these, more than 1,500 have been executed. A total of at least 185 people who were sentenced to death since 1972 have since been exonerated'. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The death penalty I am not normally a capital punishment advocate but it may be appropriate in a case like this. Whether revenge killings or mindless school shootings in the US, people do it because they are following role models of previous shooters that they obviously see as heroes. If they see the shooter being disposed of by society in a humiliating way, rather than disappear into the prison system, they might not see their idols as so heroic. Anyway this guy wouuld clearly do it all again, if given the chance but will not, if executed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Doesn't sound much of a businessman. Seems to get ripped off on every deal he does and rides around on an MSX. Either way, this was obviously a massive over-reaction by a very unstable individual, especially killing the daughter who had nothing to do with it as far as I can tell. As for the other victims, not paying back debts is the equivalent of stealing (a very cowardly way of stealing but stealing nonetheless) and I live by the rule "If it ain't yours, don't take it". If you steal from people you might get away with it. You might get a good kicking or in extreme cases you might get shot (especially in Thailand). Any Thai knows the risks of ripping people off here and it seems three of the four victims in this case decided to take that risk. Hopefully the perpertrator goes away for life and some other people think twice before ripping off others and their parents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
