That media update.

 

”A 33-year-old woman was critically injured by a gunshot that penetrated her back, breaking her collarbone, and exiting through her neck. The rescue team performed CPR and urgently transported her to the hospital. A white Mitsubishi Triton pickup truck at the scene had a bullet hole in the rear bed and another in the rear window. The woman was later pronounced dead at hospital.

 

Mr. Thongchai, 42, recounted that as they were approaching their residence, the assailant, riding a motorcycle, initially passed them but then turned around and followed. He shot at the rear of the vehicle, and a bullet hit the injured woman, who was the wife of Thongchai’s subordinate driving the truck.

 

Thongchai further explained that the motive likely stemmed from a deep-seated grudge the shooter harbored after a previous altercation with his father-in-law, Thongchai’s close friend. The son-in-law had once threatened the father-in-law with a gun, and Thongchai intervened to resolve the issue. This likely led to the shooter targeting Thongchai, but tragically, his subordinate’s wife was caught in the crossfire.

 

Police investigators examined the scene near the worker’s accommodation in Soi Huay Saphan, Moo 9, Pong, Bang Lamung, Chonburi. They found three shell casings at the entrance, while residents were visibly shaken.

 

One of the workers in the truck bed described the terrifying moment: the assailant followed them on a motorcycle before pulling out a gun and firing several shots. He managed to jump off the truck to escape.

 

Initial investigations included reviewing CCTV footage, which clearly captured the incident. The suspect, known locally as a notorious figure in Huay Saphan, followed the victims on his motorcycle, fired multiple shots, and then fled the scene.

 

Police have identified the suspect and his residence, located not far from the crime scene. Efforts are underway to apprehend him and proceed with legal action.”

Update in Thai media.

 

Mr. Mongkol Boonsomthob, also known as Meng, 34, surrendered to the police at the Nong Prue Police Station, accompanied by the village headman from Pong Sub-district, Mr. Mongkol handed over the 9mm STI automatic handgun used in the shooting incident.

 

Mr. Mongkol confessed to firing at the four-door pickup truck, explaining that he recognised it as the vehicle driven by his father-in-law and his associates, who had previously assaulted him on June 7th. His father-in-law opposed Mr. Mongkol's relationship with his daughter and wanted to end their association. Upon seeing the vehicle again, Mr. Mongkol admitted to becoming enraged and, armed with the handgun, followed the truck and fired four shots in a fit of anger. He claimed that he only intended to scare them but mistakenly hit a passenger, resulting in the tragic death.

 

The police have charged Mr. Mongkol with premeditated murder, attempted murder, and violations of the Firearms Act. He has refused to answer any questions from the reporters covering the case.

27 June, Police Chief Pol. Col. Tawee Kudthalaeng led a team of officers to escort the suspect to the crime scene in Huaysapan Alley, Pong, for a reenactment of the crime. The reenactment was heavily guarded by over 30 officers. During the reenactment, the victim’s relatives shouted insults at the suspect, and victim’s boyfriend, Mr. Nui, attempted to attack the gunman but was restrained by the police.

 

The suspect, Mr. Mongkol confessed to following the white pickup truck of his father-in-law’s friend and firing four shots. He claimed he did not intend to kill anyone and expressed remorse, stating that the shooting was an act of rage after being repeatedly assaulted by his father-in-law and others.

 

Mr. Nui, also stated that he and his wife did not know the suspect, as they had only recently started working at the camp.
