[snoop1130]

 

A heated dispute over Bitcoin investment loss led to a domestic violence incident that escalated into a six-hour standoff with the police. The 35 year old husband, Kritsada, shot his wife and barricaded himself in their home in Uthai district, Ayutthaya province, before eventually surrendering to the authorities.

 

The agitated husband yesterday shot his wife with a handgun, causing her injury. He then took refuge within their home. The police from Uthai station, Ayutthaya province, surrounded the residence for over six hours. They engaged in negotiation efforts with Kritsada, even involving a family member in the dialogue. The situation culminated in his surrender late at night.

 

The next day, the police continued their close monitoring of Kritsada, who was under stress and in pain after shooting himself in the leg. Officer Manas Atthadod from Uthai Police Station, Ayutthaya province, revealed that Kritsada attempted to kill his 31 year old wife, Pitsamai, after which he stayed in the house for more than six hours.

 

A police official further explained that they had to take precautions as the suspect was alone in the house, and they feared potential harm. Hence, they opted for negotiation and asked the suspect to destress and surrender himself. They even called his sister to talk to him, which eventually led to his surrender.

Less about bad investments.  More about another man that refuses to let his wife leave him.

Another GUN another day. Until there is a real clamp down on guns this will continue unabated. Should be 2yr min. mandatory jail for having an illegal gun and the same for legal guns used or waved around without good reason.

At least half of our village would be in jail, really! Astonishing how many homes have illegally held weapons here.

I still find it hard to get my head around, that Thailand has more illegal guns per Capita than the US.

Safe and trusted Thailand my ass.
