Daily News Thai Caption: Revenge after 12 years!

 

A Thai man out on bail in southern Thailand on a charge of attempted murder - and wearing an EM anklet - said it was payback time after shooting dead a palm oil plantation owner in Surat Thani.

 

Pol Lt Thanaphat Somphuwech and senior officers went to the plantation in Nam Rorp sub-district where they found Sommai Klangrak, 49, dressed in blue shirt and black pants, with 36 holes in him from shotgun pellets  to the back, back of the head and thighs

 

A worker said they were putting in fertilizer at the time under the direction of the boss when "Mack" arrived and fired twice.

 

Sommai's last words were: "Mack meung ying goo thammai?" (Mack why have you shot me?).

 

A short while after Thanasak "Mack" Suwannajit, 28, surrendered to the custody of the Phunphin police admitting everything.

He said that 12 years ago Sommai had attacked him so badly that he had had to plead for his life. Today was payback time.

 

He said he borrowed the shotgun from his uncle on the pretext that he was going hunting.

 

Daily News reported that two months ago the court had bailed the suspect on a charge of attempted murder and ordered him to wear the EM, an electronic monitoring anklet. 

 

The media did not make it clear that the attempted murder charge referred to the same person that was shot.

So the palm oil owner gets planted by a grudge holding vegetable by the look of it????

What? No blur. What’s going on? I hope they continue doing this especially for convicted and outright killers, fraudsters, pedos etc. We all should be aware considering it’s so easy to get out of jail.
