snoop1130 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 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 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.
