A 58-year-old man shot his nephew dead while he was eating at the dinner table, reportedly enraged that the younger man had not washed his dishes. The suspect, identified as Mr. Wai, allegedly tried to feign ignorance after the incident by buying alcohol and acting as though nothing had happened.

 

The fatal shooting took place at approximately 20:30 on 11 March, in Ban Kiang Tai, Moo 6, Huai So Subdistrict, Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province. Police Lieutenant Natthaphon Chanda of Bun Rueang Police Station received reports of a shooting and arrived at the scene with rescue workers from Boonchuay Uppatham Chiang Khong.

 

The victim, 41-year-old Mr. Phongsakorn, was found dead in a half-concrete, half-wooden house near Road 4027, between Ban Kiang Tai and Ban Kaen Ban. He had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the right side of his face, with brain matter and blood splattered across the floor. His body lay near the doorway of the house, facing outward, with a plate of food beside him. A homemade flintlock gun was discovered near the body.

 

Witnesses confirmed that the assailant was the victim’s uncle, who had previously argued with him. The disagreement escalated when the victim sat down to eat som tam without having washed his dishes beforehand, enraging the older man.

 

After the shooting, the suspect reportedly rode his motorbike to buy alcohol and attempted to act as if nothing had happened. However, under police interrogation, he later confessed to the crime, admitting he was angered by his nephew’s disobedience.

 

Police have arrested Mr. Wai, and he is now in custody awaiting further legal proceedings.

I love the open plan design and the industrial look of the electrics...

Well that's fair enough but what about buying new flooring as the present seems past it's best ?

Is that a RSJ or a Lintel over the door frame.

You shouldn´t have left that chicken bone on the plate, son. I´ll make you pay!

[it is what it is]

 

should have spent money on home improvements rather than firearms
