Picture of arrest.

 

A 46-year-old man has been arrested while attempting to flee north after allegedly shooting and killing his former father-in-law and mother-in-law. His ex-wife and her young son were also injured in the attack. Despite the brutality of his crimes, the suspect showed no remorse upon his capture.

 

The suspect, identified as Mr Songphon from Ayutthaya, reportedly went to his former in-laws’ house in Uthai subdistrict, Uthai district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, early morning on 11 March. He claimed he wanted to give gold to his ex-wife, but his in-laws refused to let him in.

 

Frustrated, he climbed over the fence and entered the house, where a heated argument broke out. When his former in-laws intervened, Songphon allegedly pulled out a firearm and shot them both, killing them instantly. He also fired at his ex-wife and her five-year-old son, injuring them before fleeing the scene.

 

After the attack, Songphon initially fled in his car before abandoning it at his workplace, about 25 kilometres away. He then switched to a six-wheeled truck belonging to his employer and began driving north along the Asian Highway.

 

Police launched a manhunt and coordinated with highway authorities. At 07:10, officers from Sing Buri and Chainat Highway Police, along with local police from Mueang Chainat Police Station, intercepted and arrested Songphon on the Asian Highway near the Chainat elevated bridge.

 

Despite the gravity of his crimes, police reported that Songphon remained calm and expressionless during questioning. He openly admitted to the killings and the attempted escape but showed no remorse, even claiming he needed to complete a delivery before turning himself in.

 

The suspect has been transferred to the police station overseeing the case and now faces charges of double murder and attempted murder.
