In a dramatic escalation of a fishing rights dispute, a 22-year-old man was seriously injured in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang district after being shot during the confrontation. The incident took place at approximately 7:20 PM on November 3rd, when Panachai, a construction worker, was allegedly fishing on private property.

 

Authorities, including deputy investigator Singha Singhachalee, arrived promptly on the scene—a quiet alley next to a construction camp. There, they found evidence of the altercation, including bullet casings and a curved knife hidden beneath a pickup truck. The injured Panachai had been quickly transported by family members to Thammasat University Hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.

 

The accused shooter, 52-year-old Kamthorn, surrendered to police at the scene, armed with a licensed Smith & Wesson handgun. He recounted hearing dogs barking around his garden fishpond while having dinner. Spotting an intruder, he had reportedly fired warning shots to deter him. Kamthorn alleged an ensuing assault by two construction workers, prompting him to fire his weapon in self-defence during a struggle.

 

Kamthorn insisted that the altercation was unprecedented, having no prior issues with Panachai or his colleagues. As police delve deeper into this troubling case, they aim to clarify events and motivations, piecing together how a routine dispute could erupt into violence.
