In a recent development in the ongoing investigation into a street shooting that occurred on the morning of August 3 in Patong, Phuket, local authorities have apprehended the prime suspect, 34 year old Nattapong Nachom. Two men were injured during the gunfire incident and are currently receiving medical care at Patong Hospital.

 

The arrest warrant was issued for Nattapong on August 4 by the Phuket Provincial Court, which led to his capture. The suspect has admitted to the charges levelled against him in relation to the early morning gunfire in Patong.

 

The charges brought against Nattapong include attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause, and discharging a firearm in a public location.

 

These were corroborated by the authorities after he was taken back to the crime scene in Patong on Saturday to reenact the gunfire events under heavily armed surveillance.

The Land of Smiles is becoming the Land of VIOLENCE!

Bit like London or Liverpool, or most UK cities and towns on Friday and Saturday night, where ambulances are often parked in the side streets for rapid response.
