A shooting incident unfolded at a restaurant in the Ko Kaeo area of Phuket, resulting in the death of a 44-year-old woman. The assailant, later identified as her son- in-law, turned himself in to the police shortly after the incident.

 

At approximately 21:45 on December 12, Pol. Col. Prateuang Phonmana, Chief of Muang Phuket Police Station, received a report from local emergency responders about a gunshot victim in critical condition. The incident occurred at a restaurant located in Soi Ko Kaeo 23 on Thepkrasattri Road, Ko Kaeo Subdistrict.

 

Emergency responders performed CPR at the scene before rushing the victim, later identified as Mrs. Wandee, to Vachira Phuket Hospital. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries shortly afterward.

 

Shortly after the shooting, a 27-year-old man, identified as Mr. Natjiphong, arrived at Muang Phuket Police Station to surrender himself. He confessed to being the shooter and handed over the weapon. Police immediately detained him and conducted forensic tests on his vehicle and his hands for gunpowder residue.

 

The restaurant, a two-story commercial building located at the entrance of a residential village, was cordoned off for investigation. Police discovered bloodstains on the floor and a bullet casing near the scene of the shooting. CCTV footage from inside and outside the restaurant was seized, and witnesses were interviewed before being summoned to the station for further questioning.

 

According to police reports, the suspect was the victim's son-in-law. He alleged that his mother-in-law had repeatedly insulted his family over a prolonged period. On the evening of the incident, Mr. Natjiphong had been drinking beer at the restaurant when Mrs. Wandee arrived. The two got into a heated argument after she allegedly made a rude gesture and continued to verbally provoke him.

 

Overcome with anger, the suspect reportedly pulled out a firearm and shot her once, causing her to collapse. He then called the police to confess but decided to drive himself to the station to surrender before officers arrived.

 

Pol. Maj. Gen. Sinlert Sukhum, Commander of Phuket Provincial Police, and Pol. Lt. Col. Korakrit Khankhrua, Deputy Chief Investigator of Muang Phuket Police Station, personally questioned the suspect.

 

The police have charged Mr. Natjiphong with carrying a firearm in public and murder. He is now in custody pending further legal proceedings.

 

Authorities continue to investigate the case to ensure justice for the victim and her family.

While not showing any sympathy for the perpetrator, we all know that some wives mothers can be quite difficult to deal with. When asked for advice I suggest taking a long time to get to know the woman, and to make sure that you really get along with, and you really like and respect her parents and her siblings. Otherwise it's nothing but trouble, maybe not this kind of trouble, but trouble nonetheless.

Mother in law may have been a pain but 1 thing for sure her son in law was no angel having a gun on his possession and willing to use it perhaps she saved her daughters life from this man child

A gun as last argument?

I hope one day all these weapons would be seized and destroyed.

There are too many here and too many drug addicts at the trigger.

As soon as I read the headline I knew she's been nagging...

 

Not that that justifies the killing, but it explains it...
