A shooting has rocked the normally quiet district of Tha Chang in Surat Thani province, after a man, reportedly driven by jealousy, fatally shot his ex-girlfriend’s new partner before fleeing the scene on a motorcycle.

 

The incident occurred around 19:30 on 3 June at a residence in Moo 4, Sawiat Subdistrict. Police were alerted by locals and rushed to the scene, where they found the lifeless body of Mr Thanakrit Chueamun, 31, from Phitsanulok province. He had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was found lying face-up on the ground in front of the house. Several bullet casings and a pistol holster were recovered nearby.

 

The suspected gunman has been identified as Mr Sanchai Thongnuipram 36, a local resident of Surat Thani. According to police, he arrived at the home on a Honda PCX motorcycle and confronted Mr Thanakrit, allegedly after learning of his relationship with Mr Sanchai’s ex-girlfriend, Ms Supatta Kraisin, the owner of the property.

 

According to Ms Supatta’s statement to police, Mr Sanchai had been attempting to reconcile their relationship, but she had already moved on and begun dating Mr Thanakrit. The confrontation quickly escalated into violence, with Mr Sanchai reportedly drawing a 9mm handgun and shooting Mr Thanakrit in a fit of rage. He then fled the scene on his motorcycle.

 

Police investigators and forensic teams from Region 8 are currently pursuing leads and reviewing security footage from the area as part of an ongoing manhunt. The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

 

Authorities are urging anyone with information on Mr Sanchai’s whereabouts to contact their local police station immediately. A full investigation is underway, and police have vowed to bring the perpetrator to justice.
