webfact Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 A Sutthisan Police Station officer shot dead the boyfriend of his friend’s daughter outside the victim’s house in Huay Kwang district of Bangkok last night. The officer’s disapproval of the relationship was cited as the motive behind the tragic incident. The death of the 25 year old Thai man, Thitiwat Auayklang, was reported to Huay Kwang Police Station at 7pm, yesterday, January 24. Officers investigated the scene and discovered his body outside the house in Soi Ratchadaphisek 3. He was wearing a grey jacket and brown trousers and had a gunshot wound to the neck. The gunman, a police senior sergeant major from Sutthisan Police Station, was waiting to surrender to officers at the scene. The identity of the police officer was not revealed. Thitiwat’s mother identified the police officer as Pae. The mother told the media that the motive behind the shooting might be the disapproval of the relationship between her son and his girlfriend named Ann. The mother revealed that she lived with her husband and son for approximately two years in their residence before her son invited Ann to live in the household last month. by Petch Petpailin Photo via PPTV HD Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-25 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

A senior sergeant no less? A total crazy man, I say, someone who should be in a n asylum./ From the link in the op the son threw a glass bottle and brandished a knife. It wasn't an unprovoked shooting. Sounds to me like the food delivery driver living at his mom's house threw a temper tantrum and started violence. The mother informed her son and Ann, who were on the second floor of the house, about the visitors, provoking her son’s anger. He hurled a glass bottle at the sedan from the second-floor window and exited the house brandishing a knife. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you might have mentioned that the man claiming to be the girl’s father was found to have no connection to her at all.

Why is he even involved in an issue like this? It is not his business at all... HE SHOULD HAVE BUTTED RIGHT OUT. That doesn't give the boyfriend the right throw bottles and and angrily approach him brandishing a knife. If he was asked to intervene by the girl's father, it would have been his business.

But deleted my above comment suggesting similar becase of this (below - from the linked article). Surely if the Police Sergeant was helping his friend who was the girls father then that link would have been outlined ??? (with the standards of reporting here, we obviously don't know). Quote However, no connection between Ann and the man was established. The case remains under investigation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B Good Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 You could argue to a degree that the sergeant was defending the father of Ann from a knife attack, although, what appears to be a misaimed head shot, seems a tad extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the Father (of Ann) also present at the time ??? Was the Police Sergeant a 'friend' of the father of Ann ?? is this why he disapproved ? i.e. The Son was wrong-un... Or... is there another reason he 'disapproved' ?? (e.g. he had taken a liking to Ann) i.e. The son was protecting the girl and this is murder...

IF the boy friend was approaching the Police Sergeant with a knife in hand and about to attack him after already showing rage and aggression, it be argued the Policeman was defending himself... The article itself is so vague and leaves so much open to interpretation its impossible to tell.... The quality of reporting in these articles picked up and re-posted here is, as usual, absolutely atrocious... 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have but I am still a bit confused. The article seems to suggest Ann's father was there and his colleague shot the boyfriend when he charged with a knife. The final paragraph then states that no connection was found between Ann and the man purporting to be her father. Maybe the father sent some police minions to pick up his daughter ? Anyway I suppose it will become clearer in due course... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 So two guys show up demanding to take his girlfriend away, and his G/F is there with him. Apparently, neither of them is her father. Which, of course, she would know. That would elicit quite the reaction from me, as well. It also seems that the cop stayed in the car (perhaps not even seen by the guy) until he got out and pulled the gun. Other than the guy's grieving parents, it's hard to figure out who to feel sorry for. I do wish the reporting were better. And the translation, I suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know none of them is the father of the Girl friend [Ann] - the article is extremely vague about this point. 3 minutes ago, impulse said: That would elicit quite the reaction from me, as well. Understood... but is this what actually happened ? 3 minutes ago, impulse said: It also seems that the cop stayed in the car (perhaps not even seen by the guy) until he got out and pulled the gun. The Thaiger article (linked) states... [Abruptly, a police officer seated beside the sedan driver shot Thitiwat in the neck, causing him to collapse]. It seems he was 'ready for a fight'... as if they were doing something as innocent as just picking up the 'daughter' on the way home (if he was with the GF's father) then this would not have escalated with the apparent speed it did. 3 minutes ago, impulse said: Other than the guy's grieving parents, it's hard to figure out who to feel sorry for. I do wish the reporting were better. And the translation, I suspect. Completely agree - the laziness is doubled up... Firstly we have the extremely poor reporting with very few facts, then we add an extremely poor translation into English which adds further lack of clarity.

Agreed... did that mean 'no direct connection to Ann' ???... ingnoring that the Policeman was a friend of Anns father ?... We just don't know... We don't know if Ann's father was there, or if a Man driving identified himself as Anns father was actually Ann's father or if he was lying. We don't know if was the Policeman who was driving and he was there alone.... The article is so incomplete its an insult to the reader and ultimately highlights a degree of stupidity (unprofessionalism) that it was even published in the first place.... I suppose this is what we get with such lowbrow media sources - we shouldn't have any expectations... If Aseannow were to proof read every news article and not re-publish the ones with glaring flaws and numerous holes there would be very little to actually publish... ... instead... we just read this regurgitated news and think... yup, full of holes... here we go again...

That isn’t what you said. ‘They’ would have been the correct descriptor. Even then, he cannot give them permission to do anything. Even if the father was there, he could do nothing unless the girl was underage. Would you have handed your woman over to strangers? Either way, none of us are privy to any details pertaining to their relationship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
