A heated dispute over leaving a light on resulted in a fatal shooting incident in Trang, Thailand. A 61 year old man named Udom was reportedly shot by his 24 year old adopted son, Kritsada Chunglok, after a confrontation in their home yesterday.

 

The scene was promptly attended by officials from the Huai Yot Police Station, forensic experts from Trang Provincial Police, and medical personnel from Huai Yot Hospital.

 

The Trang shooting incident took place in their single-storey home, where Udom was found dead in the bedroom. He had been shot once with a homemade handgun, the bullet entering through his chin and neck and exiting under his left armpit.

Kritsada, who had only been living with his adopted father for about five to six months since his release from prison on drug-related charges,

was surely a good boy, and obviously dindunuffin.

One dead and one back to prison, the neighbourhood is safer without either of them.

Crikey mate! I better be extra careful with the Chrissy decorations this year then!!!! ????
