Crime Man 62, Shoots a Mother & Son Dead in Their Home, Claims Revenge Over Death Threats
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 62-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly shooting dead a woman and her son in their home. The suspect, who is a relative of the victims, claimed he had been provoked by ongoing threats to his life. The incident occurred around 19:40 on 18 May in Ban Bua village, Kud Bak subdistrict, Kud Bak district, Sakon Nakhon province. Local police and forensic officers, accompanied by rescue teams and medical staff from Kud Bak Hospital, rushed to the scene after receiving a report of multiple shootings. The victims were identified as Mrs. Nipha, 46, who was found face down on the ground beside her home, with a gunshot wound to her lower back inflicted by a shotgun. Her 20-year-old son, Mr. Jiraphat (nicknamed Kampan), was discovered nearby under a lime tree, also lying face down. He had sustained multiple shotgun wounds to the right arm, right temple, and abdomen, causing severe trauma. A third victim, a 41-year-old neighbour referred to as Mr. Krum, was shot in the left arm as he rushed to the scene upon hearing gunshots. He was taken to Kud Bak Hospital for treatment. Police quickly identified the suspect as Mr. Samphat 62, a relative of the deceased. He fled the scene after the shooting but was later apprehended. During the arrest, he led police to a shotgun hidden in nearby undergrowth, approximately 50 metres from the scene. He admitted to the shooting, telling officers: “I’ve held this grudge for two years. He threatened to kill me.” According to Mrs. Chularat, the sister of the deceased woman, the family had been relaxing inside the house while Mr. Kampan was outside repairing a motorcycle. A single gunshot rang out, prompting Mrs. Nipha to rush outside. She reportedly asked if the gun had gone off by accident, to which her son replied, “I’ve been shot.” Moments later, additional shots were heard, after which both victims fell silent. Another neighbour who came to investigate was also injured in the crossfire. Family members immediately called the police, community leaders and relatives, fearing the gunman might return. When they finally emerged from hiding, they discovered both Mrs. Nipha and her son were dead. Local officials revealed that Mr. Samphat and Mr. Kampan had a long-standing feud. The village headman stated that the conflict had been escalating for over a year and while community leaders had tried to mediate, it had eventually led to legal complaints. Mr. Kampan reportedly had a history of drug use and erratic behaviour, though Mr. Samphat was known in the community as a well-mannered volunteer who rarely voiced personal grievances. The suspect has been taken into custody at Kud Bak Police Station and charged with murder, illegal possession of a firearm, and carrying a weapon in public without a permit. He remains under investigation as police continue to gather evidence and witness statements. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-19. -

Accident Samut Songkhram: Elderly Woman Killed Crossing the Road
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 78-year-old woman was fatally struck by a pickup truck while crossing the road to buy groceries, leaving her grieving son heartbroken after previously warning her not to go out alone. The incident occurred on 19 May at around 09:45 on the inbound Samut Songkhram–Bang Phae Road near Soi Ban Prok 49 in Ban Prok subdistrict. Emergency responders from the Sappharachen Foundation and police from Mueang Samut Songkhram Police Station were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, officers found the body of Mrs Laksana 78, lying in the right-hand lane of the road. She had sustained severe injuries including a broken lower right leg, swelling to the right side of her head and laceration above her right eye. Nearby, a green Isuzu pickup truck with front-end damage was parked at the scene. The driver, Mr Pradit 53, remained on-site and cooperated fully with authorities. He told police he was leaving his house to begin his security shift in the town centre when the collision occurred. According to preliminary investigations, Mrs Laksana, originally from Prachinburi province, had been staying with her son. Despite his repeated advice not to venture out alone and offers to do errands for her, she frequently crossed the busy road to visit the nearby convenience store, possibly due to boredom from staying indoors. Police believe her advanced age and limited mobility may have contributed to her being unable to avoid the oncoming vehicle. Her body has been sent to Ratchaburi Hospital’s forensic department for examination. Mr Pradit will be summoned for further questioning, and witnesses in the area will be interviewed as part of an ongoing investigation into the precise cause of the collision. The deeply saddened son told officers, “I always told her, if she wanted anything, just ask me, I would go and get it for her. I wish she had listened.” Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-19.
