August 17, Police from Khlong Luang Station in Pathum Thani arrested four Thai teenagers involved in the shooting of two Cambodian men, which left the victims severely injured. The incident, stemming from a personal conflict, occurred on the Khlong Sam road.

 

The arrested suspects are identified as Paphawit, 17, Patipan, 17, Purinat, 15, and Watthana, 21. Authorities recovered a motorcycle and a homemade firearm used in the crime.

 

The victims, identified as Sao, 30, and Puth, 20, both Cambodian nationals, were shot multiple times. Sao sustained three gunshot wounds to his back and one to his right buttock, while Puth was also severely injured.

 

During the investigation, the suspects admitted to the shooting, citing a previous altercation where the victims had threatened them. Paphawit confessed that his girlfriend had been harassed by the victims, which led to a confrontation the previous night. When the groups encountered each other again, the victims allegedly provoked the suspects by revving their motorcycle engines and appearing to reach for something. In response, Purinat fired the gun, hitting the victims before the group fled and hid the weapon at a friend's house.

 

The suspects now face charges of attempted murder and illegal possession of a firearm. Authorities are continuing their investigation.

Maybe they had more than one gun, just a guess.
