The prime suspect in a drive-by shooting in the Phuket sub-district of Chergntalay has turned himself in. The 18 year old was wanted for the murder of a 21 year old man gunned down at a petrol station on the night of Friday, March 15.

 

Kiattisak Thawornphon, aka “Gus”, surrendered to Chergntalay police on Sunday, March 17, and was immediately arrested and taken in for questioning. The Phuket Provincial Court had issued an arrest warrant for Kiattisak, following the shooting of Teerapat Suksrimuang, from Paklok.

 

According to a Phuket News report, the victim was shot at a Caltex petrol station on the Bandon-Cherngtalay Road, shortly after 10pm last Friday. Although rushed to hospital, he succumbed to his injury.

I wonder why this doesn't garner anything like as much attention as the Swiss kicker?

Because we are all reading in English language papers.

Thai language papers will have more on Thai naughty folk.

Bad news sells. Good news doesn't.

How the brain is wired from cave man days. Why the world is so messed up now. The brain hasn't evolved and the media reinforces the negative.

Cannot spoil the image of Thailand or adversely affect tourism.

So pleads guilty 50% discount on sentence, helped the cops with finding the gun and M/C, got to be worth at least 10% less, nice helpful chap init. :whistling:

And we still don't know the motive.

I remember many years ago a BBC news presenter complained there was too much bad news and there should be more balance, and he was disciplined or sacked.
