Bridegroom murders his bride, mother-in-law, sister in law and a guest at his wedding night party
by James Morris and Son Nguyen

 

Horrific scenes at Saturday night’s murder site as rescuers removed the bodies of a groom, his bride and other family relations, among them 28-year-old Chaturong SukSuk who gunned down six people, including himself, after becoming jealous.

Locals say 28-year-old Chaturong Suksuk was known to be jealous of his 44-year-old wife and sensitive both about the age difference between them and his disability after an accident where he had to use a leg prosthetic to walk. These were factors in overwhelming jealousy that exploded into lethal violence on the man’s wedding night.

A jealous bridegroom murdered his newly wedded wife, mother in law and sister-in-law as well as a guest at his own wedding party late on Saturday night in Nakhon Ratchasima having become jealous of his wife’s outgoing politeness to other guests including other males she thought highly of. The Paralympian, who won silver in Indonesia last year, overturned a table at the party, went to his car and returned with a gun to clinically commit mass murder before turning the 9mm weapon on himself.

On Sunday, the Deputy Governor of Nakhon Ratchasima Province Mr Somkiat Wiriyakulnan visited the Wang Nam Khiao District in southern Nakhon Ratchasima province in northeastern Thailand.

 

Following a horrific slaughter that took place late on Saturday night when a newly married groom used a 9mm gun to murder his wife and three other people at their wedding celebration, before turning the gun on himself, dying instantly from a bullet to the head, there was a strong unease in the area as relatives and locals came to terms with the shock while families made funeral arrangements at local temples.

From the link:  It might help you.

According to the report from the Wang Nam Khiao police officers, an unidentified witness testified that before the shooting incident, guests were celebrating the wedding ceremony, however, the groom and the bride had a personal argument. Jaturong, the groom, was allegedly drunk and destroyed his surroundings.

Shortly after, Jaturong reportedly grabbed his 9 mm firearm from his vehicle and shot the bride and other aforementioned guests to death before taking his own life, said the unidentified witness to the police officers.

Yet again, you post before reading the linked article.

Chaturong was a Thai Paralympian who had taken part in the Asian Paralympic Games in Indonesia last year where he won a silver medal for swimming having taken part in the swimming and shooting competitions at the event. 

 

See? 

 

That's what happens when you let "those people" pretend they are real athletes. 😄

I've read many times that, based on population, Thailand has double the gun deaths of the USA. The difference is that in America they are often mass shootings and in Thailand, the place we read in guide books is a land of close families, they are largely domestic. So yes, Hub Of Domestic Violence.

Jaturong (the one legged groom - you couldn't make this up) reportedly grabbed his 9 mm firearm from his vehicle and shot the bride.

 

Well, that marriage didn't last long, did it. Just part of Amazing Thailand.

I would say this man's access to a gun should be of interest to the authorities.

Alcohol is the root cause....imagine if he was smoking weed.  He would be stoned, hungry and happy.

 

Stop blaming guns!

 

Stop saying Thailand is catching up to America with gun violence...that is pure BS.

Should have just killed the last one on the list... But this is a Buddhist country. They'll be reunited in their next lives, and he's going to owe them big time... Some miserable lives ahead...
