snoop1130 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Police are searching for the gunman who shot dead a 10 year old girl on a palm plantation in the southern province of Krabi. The girl’s family believes the shooting was motivated by a dispute over land concessions. The fatal shooting took place in a palm plantation in the Khao Panom district of Krabi at about 8pm on Wednesday, April 17. The deceased, 10 year old Neeranuch “Mai” Narkwong, was shot in the back of her neck and died upon arrival at the hospital. Mai’s aunt told ThaiRath that five children, including Mai, were playing together outside a hut on the palm plantation when the incident occurred. The aunt said she heard several gunshots and saw Mai collapse. She rushed to carry Mai while other children crouched on the ground in fear. According to the aunt, the gunman committed the crime alone and fled the scene on foot, as she did not hear the sound of a motorcycle or car engine. She was unable to determine the direction in which the perpetrator had gone. The aunt further explained that Mai and her parents had moved into the hut six to seven months prior. The land on which they resided belonged to the Royal Forest Department, and Mai’s family held a concession to operate a palm plantation. As the concession was nearing expiration, Mai’s family faced the prospect of losing their livelihood. Consequently, they remained on the plantation, hoping to appeal to officials to renew their concession. Mai’s family was not the sole local community in need of the land. Others also sought the concession, leading Mai’s family to believe that this could have been the motive behind the shooting. Khao Panom Police Station officers investigated the shooting scene and found nine bullet holes on a cottage wall. Police estimated that the gunman was approximately 10 to 15 metres away from the cottage when firing the shots. However, they had not yet uncovered any substantial evidence to ascertain the identity of the gunman. Officers surmised that the perpetrator did not have lethal intentions and merely sought to intimidate Mai’s family. Police announced their intention to summon Mai’s parents and relatives for questioning at a later time.

They have little intention of finding the shooter, which is probably one of their friends who wants the concession. 5 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that there should be national outrage that this heinous crime occurred... .... But, because it was a poor farmers daughter there isn't... IMO thats a shocking testament to the manner in which people in Thailand value other members of society.

The officer surmised wrong when you consider the projectile entered the back of the childs neck. If the gunman wanted to intimidate only then you put a shot into the house at a higher level that has less chance of killing any occupants. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will interview the poor girls family…….when they get round to it. Sad state of affairs, no one is going to care about a 10 year old girl because she comes from a poor family. Why aren’t netizens up in arms? Because there is no video to drool over and the victim is a nobody. SMH.

Presnock Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 12 hours ago, Liverpool Lou said: "Officers surmised that the perpetrator did not have lethal intentions and merely sought to intimidate Mai’s family". say what? how could police even come up withi this intentions of the shooter who fires several times and hits a young girl in the back of neck? sounds like " oh we let the perp go because we didn't have a warrant to arrest him". My opinion is that the police don't want to work uh harder I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
