Father kills recently-released son amid threats in Chaiyaphum

[webfact]

A tragic incident occurred in a hut in the middle of a paddy field in Chaiyaphum province, where a 73 year old father killed his 46 year old son.

 

The son had just been released from prison three days earlier and had threatened the lives of his parents. The father confessed to the crime after presenting himself to the police. At the crime scene, the lifeless body of the 46 year old son was found near a bamboo hut.

 

The main suspect was identified as the victim’s 73 year old father, who had fled the scene after the incident. He later surrendered at a police station in Khon Kaen province before giving a statement. The father revealed that his son had just been released from prison after serving time for drug offences and had returned home three days ago.

 

Throughout the three days, the son neither helped with chores nor stopped involving himself with drugs. Instead, he frequently argued with his father and even threatened to kill him, reported Khaosod.

Quite the opposite. 

He took the hard decision and finished the loser off for his, his wife's and everybody elses safety.

Hard nut, even at 73 years old.

The dead son, gutter drug problems, social problem! Fragile!

Brave man. Once someone threatens your life, no matter who that person is, all bets are off. You could describe his actions as courageous, pre-emptive, a bold act to protect his family from a trash son, and as a result, a grand favor to the family and society.

 

However, perhaps some responsibility has to be taken for how the son turned out. Good parenting often results in a child maturing into a decent human being. The opposite could be said about people who have lost the art of parenting, or coddle the son too much. Either way, a tragic ending, to a tragic waste of a life.

Give the man a full pardon, service to the community.

I'm not saying its a lie, but its a bit one sided with no alternative due to other party being shot dead

Could have blamed it on his druggie friends.
