In a shocking incident in Thailand's Rayong province, a lawyer was killed in what police believe was a family dispute fueled by jealousy. The incident occurred at around 6 PM yesterday.

 

The victim, a 64-year-old lawyer named Manop, was found dead outside his family home in Khaomao district. He had been shot twice and had a likely stab wound under his right rib.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, the police found a .38 caliber handgun and a knife, which they gathered as evidence. Manop's body, which was lying next to his Toyota sedan, bore testimony to the tragic event.

 

The victim's relatives have claimed that Manop’s 42-year-old younger brother was responsible for the crime. They believe that the murder was triggered by the brother's suspicions about an affair between his wife and Manop. They mentioned that this was not the first time there had been conflicts between the two brothers.

 

Manop, who lived in Chachoengsao Province, had been visiting their 88-year-old mother for seven days and was planning to leave when the incident occurred. The suspect escaped from the scene post the event.

 

Following the fatal shooting, the police, forensic teams, and rescue units hurried to the place after an alert by Deputy Inspector Suchet Thepchali of the Khaomao Police Station. Currently, police are conducting an extensive investigation into the case. Their focus includes locating and arresting the younger brother, who currently has a court-issued warrant out for his arrest.

 

Meanwhile, Manop's body has been sent to Khaomao Hospital for autopsy as part of the ongoing investigation. The community is still reeling from the shocking event that has highlighted the disturbing and potentially fatal consequences of family conflicts arising from suspicion and jealousy.

 

Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to step forward, assuring full pursuit of all potential leads that could help apprehend the suspect.
