Sanook Thai Caption: Revealed: Younger brother murders sister

 

Sanook had a picture from CCTV of the grim moment when a younger brother shot dead his sister. 

 

Somporn, 37, was shot in the leg, arms, torso and head, eight shots in total. The shooter was 35 year old Somphon.

 

He blamed her for not looking after their mother well that caused her to develop Covid. She had a go at him about their respective love for their mother and it ended in violence.

 

He then gave himself up to police. 

 

It happened at the fresh food market in downtown Suphanburi, central Thailand on Thursday afternoon.

In latest developments the father of the victim and shooter, Apisak, 61, was performing religious rites to send off his daughter over the next three days.

 

He said he'd met and talked to his son who apologized and said he was in the wrong. 

 

He couldn't control himself. He'd been feuding with his sister and keeping in his emotions since they were little.

 

He said he was speechless at losing his daughter and his son in one fell swoop. 

 

The son has been charged with murder and weapons offences and detained.

 Kinda blows the Myth of the closeness of Thai Families to bits eh !

 

RIP the Lady; it's always the Women here that are the Victims in the majority of cases.

Of course and the wrong people with guns,  I am from UK and the approach taken by gov & police years ago I think can be seen to make a country relatively safe from gun crime. 

The problem in UK now is knives I have know idea what one can do about a person being confronted by someone with a knife other than shooting them. ????

Exactly, how would you?  Yet you still claimed that there are "to [sic] many guns..." which suggests that you have an idea about how many there should be!

Yes I do know and that is that there is to many guns in Thailand. ????

Too many idiots... don't blame guns.

[Skeptic7]

Another one! Thought we might just get through one full day without an "effed up" Thai manchild murdering someone for their own failings. NOPE! Daily event now. The Thai male population more resembles an unstable, violent gang of murderers rather than any part of normal. They murder friends as well as foes. Family members, wives and girlfriends are all fair game too. This is well past ridiculous and getting worse by the day.

It’s amazed me why so many poor people keep guns at home and how is it so easy to owns one!

A number of bickering posts bickering about how many guns there are out there have been removed.

Who said that those involved were "poor people"?   What makes you think that it is easy to own a gun legally in Thailand?

Articles like this I guess....

 

In Thailand, gun crime is a serious issue. The country has the 5th highest rate of gun-related deaths in the world,  more than 1 million guns are illegally owned. In an attempt to reduce these numbers. Thailand’s government introduce a new law. That would allow police officers to search anyone without needing any suspicion of wrongdoing.

"...more than 1 million guns are illegally owned"

.What's that got to do with my question re how easy it is to own a gun legally here as that poster claimed?

 

That aside, I'd wonder how that alleged article would know how many illegal guns there are in Thailand, it's not as though there's a register of them.    Anyone could just as easily claim that there are, say, only 1000 illegally owned guns as that assertion that there are one million of them.  No one would ever be able to check!

He does not mention the word legal!  He talks about how easy it is to (own) have possession of a gun in Thailand.  A big difference!

[WhatupThailand]

Guns are not the problem, the problem is a lack of common sense,

that leads anyone to think that violence is the only answer to a problem.

So here you have "You not take care of mom, so I kill you" Where is any kind of logic or sense here ? How can anyone pull this reasoning out of the air ?  You have to be stupid or crazy to think this way.

So Sad  to see so much of this in Thailand.

Maybe because if you are the one who is wrong, you lose Face.

So you can not admit it to yourself or apologize, which puts

you on the path of confrontation and violence.

I carried a side arm 28+ years, 4 years as a cop, the rest of the time as a private citizen.  The firearm NEVER shot me no matter where I wore it.

It came out of my holster ( to use ) 2 times.

 

1) in the middle of the summer 3 people wearing long over coats came into a store and left when they saw my unholstered firearm - about 10 minutes later a police blockade stopped the car,  arrested all - were convicted felons.

2) was in a jewelry store when a robber came in, made the mistake of pointing his gun at a customer ( was the chief of police in plain clothes - I knew him ) not the sales staff.  I pointed my firearm from cover at the robber and asked the chief where he wanted me to shoot the robber. Crook surendered.

 

Guns don't shoot people, PEOPLE SHOOT PEOPLE

[Scott]

Inflammatory post reported and removed. 

 

[connda]

That's what happens when governments and their "experts" convince their citizens that they are personally to blame when others get Covid.  Not the flu or colds or dengue or TB. 
But now????
"Mum got Covid and it's your fault!!! <bang......>

The fact that the Covid blame game is in the public consciousness at all is completely on the governments who were responsible for promoting that tosh.  And now?  Here's an example of what happens.  Congratulations on your effective campaign of fear.

To the daughter.  RIP
To the father and mother.  I'm so sorry!

For example instead kill other people knifes, that's quite common in Europe.

Not at all, guns don't shoot if there are no people to trigger them.
