A grieving mother is reeling after her eldest son was shot dead at a restaurant-pub during the ordination ceremony of her middle child. The tragedy unfolded in Thailand’s Chachoengsao province and resulted in two fatalities.

 

In an incident that has left a family devastated, the fatal shooting took place at a restaurant-pub in the Plaeng Yao district. The mother sadly lost her 27 year old son while celebrating the Buddhist ordination of her middle child. Two people lost their lives in the attack.

 

According to the mother, the emotional day began with the ordination ceremony of her middle son at 3pm, followed by a lively Chinese-style banquet with family and friends. At around midnight, her eldest son took relatives and friends to the restaurant where the tragedy occurred. At around 2am, the mother learnt of her son’s death.

The girlfriend of the second victim, a 28 year old man, expressed her shock and grief at the sudden loss, stating she felt deeply let down by the restaurant’s management. She revealed that they were prohibited from taking photos during the ceremony to invite the spirit of the deceased and that she was threatened with a lawsuit if any pictures were taken, reported Khaosod.

Wonderfully Thai. It was the restaurant's fault. Always someone else, not members of her group.

I would say a fine example of why you should be tucked up in your own house and not out partying at 2am with arguing drunk thais but then lots seem drunk all day anyway

 "Regarding the establishment’s CCTV footage, police informed the victims’ relatives that the security system had malfunctioned and no recording of the incident is available."

 

That old stand by never fails.
