Daily News Thai Caption: Murderer surrenders

 

Daily News reported on the latest developments following the fatal shooting of a snooker caretaker in Suan Luang, Bangkok on Tuesday night.

 

Suphan or "Geng", 31, was named in a Phrakhanong warrant for murder in the death of a man named as Nakhonnakha or "Ice", also 31.

 

The incident outside a tire shop also injured a man called Benz, 25. He had been making trouble for Suphan online.

 

Suphan had been having a long running feud over a woman on Facebook and the rivals were meeting face to face to sort things out.

 

But after a fistfight had him losing, Suphan resorted to a .22, a weapon that he later tossed into a klong.

The cops did well to find the (a) handgun in the Klong....given the water in any of Bangkoks klongs offer zero visibility at probably less than 1 foot..:)
