Crime Deadly Dispute Over Pet Mynah Bird Ends in Death on Koh Lanta
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A neighbourhood dispute over a pet bird has ended in a horrific shooting on Koh Lanta, Krabi province, leaving a father and his one-year-old daughter dead and the mother injured. The incident occurred at around 11:30 on 1 july, in the Koh Lanta Noi subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Pimol Promcharoen, deputy investigator at Koh Lanta Police Station, responded to reports of a shooting at a private residence. Officers arrived at the scene with forensic investigators and a crowd of distressed neighbours already gathered. At the scene, the body of Mr. Apiwat 37, was found by the front door of his home. He had been shot through the left arm, with the bullet exiting into his chest and piercing his heart. Apiwat worked as a taxi driver, transporting tourists around Koh Lanta. Two others were rushed to Koh Lanta Hospital. Ms. Sudarat 28, the victim’s wife, sustained a gunshot wound to her right arm. Their young daughter, aged just over one year, identified only as ‘Gai’, died shortly after arrival at hospital from a gunshot wound to the head. Police recovered eight spent 9mm bullet casings from the road outside the house, along with several intact rounds. The suspect, identified as Mr. Wiwat 41, lived directly opposite the victims. After the shooting, he reportedly fled the scene on a black-and-blue Yamaha R15 motorcycle. A manhunt is currently underway. According to local residents, the deadly dispute stemmed from a pet Mynah bird owned by the alleged shooter. A few days prior, the bird escaped its cage and was unknowingly captured by another villager, who later sold it to Mr. Apiwat. When Mr. Wiwat discovered that his pet had been sold, he confronted Apiwat and demanded its return. An argument ensued, reportedly escalating with threats and heated words exchanged. On the morning of the shooting, it is believed the two men had another confrontation. In a fit of rage, Mr. Wiwat allegedly retrieved a firearm and opened fire, striking Apiwat, his wife and their baby daughter. Police continue to search for the suspect, urging anyone with information to come forward. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-02 -

Community Boy Found Barking Like a Dog After Years of Drug-Fuelled Neglect by Mother
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a deeply distressing case that underscores the ongoing impact of drug abuse, an eight-year-old boy in Uttaradit Province has been rescued after living in extreme neglect and reportedly communicating through barking like a dog. The boy, referred to as “A” for privacy reasons, was found living in squalid conditions with six dogs and minimal human interaction in Lap Lae District. His mother, a long-term drug user, failed to enrol him in school and kept him isolated from the community. With no friends and no education, the child developed canine-like behaviour, using barking sounds as his primary means of communication. The case came to light after a concerned school principal alerted The Foundation for Children and Women, led by renowned child rights advocate Paveena Hongsakul. A multi-agency rescue operation was quickly coordinated, involving local police, education authorities and officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. Authorities discovered the boy living in a dilapidated stilted wooden house alongside his 46-year-old mother, 23-year-old brother and several dogs. Both adults tested positive for drug use and have been charged with narcotics offences. Neighbours, who had long avoided the family due to erratic behaviour and frequent begging by the mother, revealed the child had no formal schooling and had become increasingly feral in his behaviour. “The boy had never attended kindergarten. Though his mother collected 400 baht in government education support, she failed to enrol him in school,” said Sopon Siha-ampai, Director of the local school. The child has now been placed under state protection at the Uttaradit Children’s Home. The Paveena Foundation is working closely with Dr. Thir Phawangkhanant, Deputy Secretary-General of the Basic Education Commission and Dr. Trin Kandokmai, Director of the Happiness and Safety Management Centre, to ensure he receives long-term psychological support and uninterrupted education. Authorities have pledged to closely monitor the case and provide ongoing rehabilitation for the child, whose condition highlights the tragic consequences of drug dependency on vulnerable family members. The rescue operation has sparked renewed calls for improved early intervention and social support mechanisms in communities grappling with substance abuse.
