Thai Rath reported that at 7.30 pm yesterday evening Thong Lo police chief Pol Col Duangchote Suwanjarat received a report about the murder of a woman at a luxury condominium in their jurisdiction.

 

It occurred in room 179/275 on the ninth floor of Supalai Place condominium in Sukhumvit Road, Soi 39 in the downtown Watthana area.

 

Duangchote told the press that the victim's name, age and surname had yet to be established. Initial observations suggested she had been shot twice in right side of the abdomen.

 

She was a woman of Chinese extraction and a long time resident of Thailand who had obtained Thai nationality.

 

The shooter was her own son Kevin, 30, a Chinese national. 

 

Chief Duangchote said that the victim had a plastics factory in Sam Khok, Pathum Thani and that her son had claimed he was under stress in the running of the business due to her alleged controlling nature.

 

He was also drunk. Thai Rath said in their story this had emboldened him.

 

At the scene the shooter had released his wife and children, a son aged 7 and a two year old daughter, to the custody of police before he surrendered. 

 

A Colt 9mm gun as well as four BB rifles were taken into evidence and met chief Pol Lt-Gen Samran Nuanma had been informed of developments.

 

At Thong Lo police station reporters said that the shooter was showing no remorse and was even smiling.

 

At 10.30 pm it was confirmed that the victim's name is Liw Sing (name transliterated from Thai and possibly incorrect) the owner of Shuen Huei (Thailand) Co. Ltd and vice president of the Thai Trade and Industry Association. 

 

Shuen Huei is a plastics factory in Soi Wat Singh on the Pathum Thani to Sam Khok road, notes ASEAN NOW.

 

Kevin is her only son and heir and reports suggested he is a habitual drinker though the media cautioned that how much this played a part in the murder was yet to be established. 

 

The media reported frequent arguments between the pair.

If he was a habitual illegal drug user, no such "media caution" over his intoxication! Drunks are known to be frequently violent. Nice people can turn on a dime when drunk into a total POS.

But yet again, the highly addictive deadly drug alcohol gets a pass. Such hypocrisy. No doubt weed would be blamed if any were found, without a blink of an eye. 

RIP to the victim. 

Chinese mainlander sons are often spoiled brats and never grow out of it.
