A teenage motorcycle rider was fatally shot in a brutal attack in Bangkok, at around 6.30pm yesterday. Deputy Superintendent Suwat Deeplang of Nong Chok Police Station and his team are investigating the incident while pursuing the ruthless gunman responsible for the murder of the 19 year old.

 

At the scene of the crime, near Soi Liabwari 32 in Nong Chok district, police found the teenage man, identified as Thanabat, lying face down, with a bullet wound to the head. Rescuers from Ratchaphruk Centre and Nong Chok Volunteer Foundation tried to perform CPR before transporting Thanabat to the hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries on the way as the bullet hit a vital point, reported KhaoSod.

 

Initial investigations revealed that Thanabat lived in the Saensaep subdistrict of Minburi district, Bangkok, and was working as a rider. The authorities ruled out the possibility of a student shooting and are still examining the causes behind the attack. Meanwhile, police are expediting the examination of CCTV footage in the vicinity to track down and apprehend the perpetrator, who will be prosecuted.

I wonder how long before the "bar stool" detectives have solved this?
