A drug addict killed a Thai teacher at a grocery store in the Isaan province of Chaiyaphum after the victim intervened in a dispute between him and his mother.

The victim, 53 year old Thaweesak Chanpanya, was a teacher at Baan Na Raya School in the Phakdee Chumphon district of Chaiyaphum. He also ran a local grocery shop with his wife after work. Thaweesak suffered fatal injuries after the physical assault on December 9 and died in hospital three days later on December 12.

 

Channel 3 reported that the murderer was a 25 year old Thai drug addict named Teerachai, who lived 100 metres away from Thaweesak’s shop. He is now under arrest and detained at Phakdee Chumphon Police Station.

 

CCTV cameras at Thaweesak’s shop recorded the entire incident on December 9. The killer, Teerachai, was seen arguing with his mother in the shop. He demanded 200 baht from his mother to buy drugs but she refused.

The dispute escalated, prompting Thaweesak to intervene in an attempt to defuse the situation. Advising them to go home, Thaweesak’s words instead angered Teerachai, who immediately launched an attack on Thaweesak.

Back room injection... evil child.

Killed his ex-teacher who told him to go home. Mmmm Now three times bigger than the victim, unusual to see a obese drug addict. What a complete Ahole may he rot in jail, time to stop this 50% discount for admitting guilt. Murder is Murder weather intended or not.
