webfact Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Police arrested a Thai man for the murder of his crush’s stepfather and a witness to the crime after the deceased’s stepdaughter rejected him at his house in the central province of Kanchanaburi. The distressing episode came to light when a Thai woman named Mod contacted the authorities at the Lao Kwan Police Station to report a shooting that occurred in the vicinity of her residence. Mod revealed that the alleged murderer, a 36 year old man named Jiradate Thongyim, had shot her husband, 38 year old Sermsak, and another unfortunate victim, 50 year old Boonsong. Officers rushed to the murder scene and discovered that the two victims died at the scene. Each victim bore three gunshot wounds to the face and body. Police managed to arrest the Thai man at his house, which was about 3 kilometres away from the murder scene. The gunman was immediately taken to the police station as the deceased’s relatives and family members attempted to lynch him. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook/ PPTV HD 36 Full story: The Thaiger 2023-11-08 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

It is not even clear that there was a "relationship" to start with: "Mod revealed to the police that the Thai gunman, Jiradate, had a crush on her 19 year old daughter named Noey but she rejected him" The freak (previous conviction for murder, 25 years sentence.....let out after 5) may just have got an obsession for her.

FruitPudding Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Look at the setting; they pretty much live in the jungle. Having spent time living in rural Thailand I can tell you, it ain't safe and there's a very high proportion of dysfunctional people. Full of typical problems in a low socio-economic place. Anyone who is thinking of moving to the boonies to stay on your teerak's village, I suggest you think twice. It looks nice, but that's all.

Having lived in my wife's house in rural Kamphaeng Phet for the last 19 years, I would venture to suggest, that based on many of your previous posts, that it is most probably you that is dysfunctional. We I/have had no problems in the whole of that time. The local villages have always been friendly and helpful as have those in the big village 6 km away. I am known to many Thais in both villages by my first name, and never have any problems. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hotchilli Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 From the link: Officers reported that Jiradate had previously been charged with murder in 2016. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but only served five years and was released in 2022. Maybe keep him in for the full term this time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teenage delinquency, gang violence, domestic abuse and neglect, gambling problems, drunk driving, and so on? Not to mention, teenage prostitution and young pregnancy? General family dysfunction; most kids not even being raised by their mother or father, rather a grandparent or great auntie, who generally raises all the extended family's children (kind of like an orphanage) You don't need to rely on your own observations of the last two decades of living there, many of these problems are more prevalent low socio-economic areas all over the world, as a matter of fact, actually. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BusyB Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 Stop describing these acts as 'love'. It makes the perp sound like a victim. It has nothing to do with love. Any more than 'honor' killings have anything to do with honor. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not just a Thai problem. The prevalence of weapon type i.e. guns may be but killing for 'love', as femicide is euphemised, is prevalent around the world. As Margaret Atwood said: Men fear that women will laugh at them. Women fear that men will kill them. It's quite clear he was out to get her and took the two out who were protecting her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This not only a problem in Thailand. Statistically one woman every three days is murdered by a partner/ex or other family member in the UK.

RichardColeman Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Seems to me the risk of being ripped off by a bar girls 'love' or a death on the road, pales in number to the amount of idiotic jealous and emotional thai men murdering their loves, their loves family or the dog !
