Angry father kills yaba and booze demanding son in NE - cap gun shots to head and chest

[webfact]

Picture: Thai Rath

 

At 8pm yesterday the Ubonrat police in Khon Kaen, NE Thailand, informed rescue services that they had a report of a fatal shooting at a house in Thung Pong sub-district.

 

There Pornchai, 25, was found dead from gunshot wounds from a cap gun.

 

Shots had penetrated his head and chest and he was found slumped next to a fence. 

 

The man who shot him was Suthee, 51, his own father. He was waiting with other relatives to surrender to the custody of the Ubonrat police, reported Thai Rath. 

 

Ubonrat chief Pol Col Direkrit Panreuansean said that the son had pestered the father for money to buy liquor and yaba but he had refused and an argument ensued that resulted in the shooting with a cap gun.

The suspect faces more questions today.

Who knows, what a nightmare as a parent.  wow.  Easy for lazy Pattaya falang to say after the fact, but I'll say anyhow.    I would TRY to drive my son to one of those meth detox places at the temple or something.    I really don't know what else I'd try................

 

Killing your own son...........OMG, yea...............what a horrible situation.

 

Drinking and drugs won't allow you to accomplish your dreams.  Nobody dreams of being killed by their dad while on drugs.

Nobody dreams of this? How profound. The son was a scumbag, the dad short fuse.

No one knows the back story here and I would guess this was a repeatative situation over an extended time. I'm not saying killing was the thing to do. Tragic on all fronts

I was also puzzled by the reference to a "cap gun." Google Translate renders the original Thai phrase as "gas gun" but I'm still none the wiser.  

 

Anyone know what kind of gun they're really talking about?

Maybe the kind to kill Cows ,like a bolt gun . or it just might be a reference

to gangster /rap type stuff , I am going to cap you ... another mystery in thai

reporting .....

A derogatory troll comment has been removed.

[tassydevil]

think they are referring to a muzzle loader,a cap (primer) is used to ignite the powder charge.

Instead of a one life that could have been saved with the right intervention. now two lives have been lost...

It may also have been a "sports starters gun" used in events. Some of the blanks have a wad packing to hold the powder shot in rather than a bullet. At close range those can be leathal. But still unclear what a cap gun in this context means.

Yeah, the son doesn't sound like the law abiding type.  Maybe the father can claim self-defense.

Not necessarily. I know personally of a case or two where the bad kid who's been taking yabba returns to the family house armed to the teeth with knives, etc telling his family that he's running from people who are trying to kill him and he needs to lie low

 

They helped him until the day he asked his father why he was also planning to kill him - that's where it becomes a very dangerous situation for everyone there.

 

When you hear of one of these crazies murdering their own family it's often because of extreme paranoia. As far as the drug addled person is concerned they're running for their lives and have enemies everywhere, which is why they end up seemingly killing random people - it's not random.

Having checked with a Thai speaker, it appears ปืนแก๊ป refers to an old-fashioned traditional kind of long-barrelled, home-made gun.

 

Here's an example of one from a Thai website.

 

 

[Aussieroaming]

Cap gun? He certainly capped his son's a s s.

 

I think the father needs to spend some quality time in a padded cell.

[TheFishman1]

Yeah I was confused at first about what type of gun it was TIT

The Thai phrase used means a long-barrelled home-made rifle.

[Rhys]

Just what is a cap gun?   Family dynamics of very lax parenting... accountability lacking or enforced by immediate family.. SAD.

[xtrnuno41]

Thats the second already in short time.

When your son turns into a monster..pop goes the brain. Sad.

I can understand dads actions but I don't condone it. I've seen yaba first hand, my sister inlaw had 3 sons, 2 are trying hard to cut out a decent life for their partners and kids. The eldest one was a disaster waiting to happy. He was a really nice guy when he was off yaba but that was rare. Any way he died of a heart attack at 30 years of age. His junkie girl friend produced 2 kids to him and when her 1st BF was released from jail she done a runner. Now my sister inlaw 62 yo has to care for of her sons 2 pre school kids. It's totally destroyed he life and where is her original husband the father of her 3 sons, " it's not my business". TIT.

[MrJ2U]

Hopefully more fathers will do the same.

 

These Yaba addicts are like zombies with unpredictable and bizarre habits.   Many times becoming violent.

Very disrespectful!!! Do you know this family? For sure not. 

[bbbbooboo]

Its a pity more yaba, alcohol abusing waste of oxygen types like this aren't disposed of more often. What do they contribute to their family and the community except unhappiness and despair?

And some leniency I hope.

My guess is it's a blank or a starter pistol.  Below is a cut and paste from an incident that happened in the 80's to a young actor who was screwing around with a loaded prop gun.  Unfortunately it took his life.  Blanks can and have killed before.

Who was Jon-Erik Hexum and how did he die? Hexum was an actor who died at the age of 26 on October 18, 1984 after an accident on the set of the TV show Cover Up in Los Angeles. The young actor and model shot himself in the head with a prop gun that contained a blank cartridge.Oct 22, 2564 BE

Son shoulda taken Pa seriously when he said "I'll pop a cap in yo ass'‼️
