A shocking event has emerged from a renowned aid organization as one volunteer's life was barbarically extinguished by another. The confessed 32-year-old gunman, Karnkan, was swiftly arrested and charged with intentional murder and illegal firearm possession.

 

The unfortunate incident unfolded yesterday evening within the disaster relief unit of the Po Tek Tung Foundation. Thanawat, the ill-fated victim, succumbed to his wounds at the Hua Chiew Hospital.

 

Culminating from a bitter personal disagreement spanning several months, an armed Karnkan fired three times at Thanawat's head using a .38 caliber revolver. The dispute turned fatal when Karnkan retrieved the hidden pistol from his motorcycle after an earlier brawl subsided.

 

Officers from the Plabplachai 1 station responded promptly to the distress call, arresting Karnkan and confiscating the murder weapon. Police Chief Apichet Sapsongserm, stated that while the admitted shooter's cooperation is commendable, detailed information is being temporarily held back to avoid hindering the ongoing investigations.

 

Karnkan was subjected to immediate drug and alcohol examination, with the results returning negative. The police are now focusing their investigations towards compiling witness testimonies from those present during the altercation and will be questioning foundation heads to shed further light on the incident.

 

An emotionally stirring moment unfolded at the Forensic Medicine Institute within the Police General Hospital, Bangkok, as relatives and friends arrived to claim Thanawat’s body. The victim's loved ones intend to commemorate his life with a respectful service at the local Mahapreuttharam Temple.

 

As the investigation continues, police remain dedicated to uncovering the precise circumstances surrounding this grim event, and are committed to securing justice for Thanawat and his bereaved family.

Once, twice; thrice take that you scoundrel.

Ah... the body snatchers....   Gang Warfare under the guise of being first aiders... 

 

They've been taking each other out to get to the 'bodies' for decades....  Its all about turf wars and who gets the 'bonus' for dropping off the injured (or dying) at the hospitals.
