Phuket Beautician Hit by Slingshot in DNA Test Dispute

In a startling incident in Phuket, a beautician was shot with a slingshot by a van driver enraged over a DNA test dispute with his ex-wife. The incident unfolded after the beautician honked at the van driver to avert a collision, triggering the violent response.

 

The confrontation began when a grey van, with the licence plate 30-9306 Phuket, almost hit a motorbike ridden by the beautician, identified only as Pirakan, 24. Social media platform Social Hunter 2022 posted warnings and images, alerting the public to the driver's actions. 

 

Pirakan recounted the incident, explaining she had gone out for some errands on 28th May. Noticing the van following her, she moved aside but eventually honked to warn the driver, prompting him to follow her aggressively.

 

Upon reaching her salon, the van driver shot at her with an unknown object, which she later identified as a slingshot. Initially unaware of the injury, she soon discovered a bleeding wound on her stomach.

 

 

The beauty salon has since provided CCTV footage and the van’s licence plate to the authorities to aid in locating the suspect. The reporters who visited the scene reported that Pirakan sustained a bleeding wound to her stomach but the injury was not severe.

 

Reporters managed to contact the van’s owner, who reported that the driver had surrendered to the Patong Police Station, along with the slingshot and glass marbles used in the assault. However, there was a delay in connecting with the victim, Pirakan, to inform her that the driver had been found.

 

Further details emerged: the driver, frustrated over a dispute regarding a DNA test for his child, had mistakenly thought Pirakan was a relative of his ex-wife and attacked her in a fit of rage. The police continue their investigation into the matter.

So that was a fair reason to fire the slingshot at her?  What a lame piece of doggy do do.  A relative of his ex wife... WTF. 

 

How about a friend of a relative of someone you thought you knew that looked strangely at you and reminded you of your ex wife,  now that maybe feasible!  Piss weak excuses seem to be a normal for these folk. 

 

Lock em up danno

While the police tried to extort as much as they could to make it all go away.

I think that finding out your wife was sleeping around and you had paid to support the child of the other guy for many years would be a frustrating situation to be in. 
 

unfortunate for the chubby beautician though.

Yep, Nothing new about that they think that they own the road, same as on a 2lane road they straddle the white line and expect you to get off the road . 

Van drivers should be banned and put in jail  they are a dangerous Breed.
