The standoff between a man who murdered his father in Roi-Et and shot two other relatives is over.

 

Through Tuesday night police in Waeng sub-district of the NE province, had been involved in tense negotiations with Ekkapong, 33, who was holed up on the second floor. But the dark hampered their efforts and they were prepared to wait till morning for a resolution.

 

His mother and child were called to try and talk him round.

 

But while this was going on, Ekkapong had called a friend who has a grocery business.

 

He desperately wanted a cigarette.

The friend took him some and put the cigarettes down on the stairs.

 

When Ekkapong came down he was tasered and taken into custody without further incident. 

 

Thai Rath reported that the assailant had gone to the house of his 59 year old uncle with whom he was in dispute.

 

He shot him several times then blasted a cousin in the knee who came to help.

 

He then went back home and was further criticized by his father. Sawat, 57, was shot five times and died later in hospital.

Please execute this piece of [deleted]. The correct sentence for murder is death. But justice is so skewed that the victim is forgotten and the assailant becomes the victim. What a sad, distorted world we live in.
