A woman truck driver lost her life when anonymous gunmen targeted her vehicle, leaving her vehicle’s cabin peppered with several rounds on one of Nakhon Si Thammarat’s main roads earlier today.

 

The shooting took place at 6am on the southern-expressing Asian Highway 41, in tambon Na Bon.

 

Police, rescuers, and medical personnel rushed to the scene to confront the sight of a bullet-strewn 22-wheel trailer equipped with a refrigerated unit loaded with pasteurised milk, pulled amid the motorway. From the preliminary investigation, police deduced that at least 17 shots had been discharged at the vehicle, reported Bangkok Post.

 

The 50 year old driver, Lalinya Kosai, originally from Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung district, was found dead slumped over the driver’s steering wheel with several gunshot wounds to her body. On arrival, police officers found the inconsolable figure of her spouse, 41 year old Susawat Paholayuth from Sukhothai, alongside the vehicle.

17 shots! from a pick up, sounds like a paid hit. Did someone miss out on a contract?. Hope the cops find these Aholes quick.

I wonder if they knew she was driving at the time or her husband was (as he was asleep behind her), in theory, with them working as a team together they could deliver twice as fast or double their deliveries. 

Wrong target ???? drugs related?
