Utter nonsense. 2.6 per 100000 on Thailand 2024

13.7 per 100000 in USA 2024

Just that in Thailand, it reflects the doing of mainly Thai people. You know, those who Wai and utter the silly noise of Khap ad nauseam, to show that they are more polite than the rest of the world.

 

While in the US, we do not know any more what it reflects....

A 25-year-old man has been taken into custody and escorted by police to the scene of a fatal shooting to reenact the crime, amid claims he did not intend to kill the 17-year-old victim.

 

The suspect, known as “Spy”, was arrested under a warrant issued by Thanyaburi Provincial Court for intentional murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without permission, and discharging a firearm in a public place. He was apprehended along with Natthawut, or “Mos”, 29, who assisted him in evading the capture. Both were arrested at a petrol station in Nong Khao, Tha Muang District, Kanchanaburi. Province.

 

At approximately 10:30 on 26 April, Colonel Kanthaphon Wanna, Superintendent of Khu Khot Police Station, led officers in escorting Spy to the scene of the shooting in Lam Sam Kaew Subdistrict, Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province.

 

During preliminary questioning, Spy claimed that he did not know the victim or her group personally. He explained that an exchange of glances occurred between the two groups at a barbecue restaurant, leading to tension. Spy allegations that derogatory remarks were made by the victim’s group, mentioning “Soi 92”, a reference to a local area. Feeling provoked, he admitted to firing three shots first, which was met with a single retaliatory shot from the other group.

 

Spy expressed remorse, stating: “I didn’t intend to harm anyone. I want to apologise to the victim’s family. I accept responsibility for what I have done.” He also clarified that the firearm used was a modified blank gun belonging to a friend.

 

Colonel Kanthaphon stated that the altercation appeared to have stemmed solely from mutual glances, with no prior acquaintance or existing conflict between the two groups. The incident, he said, reflected the impulsive emotions of youth rather than any deeper vendetta.

 

Following the reenactment, Spy was formally charged and immediately remanded into custody at Thanyaburi Provincial Court.

 

Investigations revealed that after the shooting on the evening of 20 April, the victim, identified as “Nong Tangmo”, aged 17, was taken to hospital but later succumbed to her injuries. The shooting occurred within a residential alley in Lam Sam Kaew Subdistrict.

 

Police examined CCTV footage from the area, leading to the identification of the suspect. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued, and a 50,000 baht reward was offered for information leading to his capture. Spy was apprehended days later, along with Mos, who had assisted him in fleeing by motorcycle.

 

The weapon used has been sent to the Region 1 Forensic Science Center for further examination.

 

The investigation remains ongoing.
