Officers from The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) have apprehended a man accused of firing seven gunshots during a heated confrontation at a house party in Tha Tako District, Nakon Sawan. The arrest was made at the car park of Big C supermarket in Tha Tako following a coordinated stakeout by the Special Operations Division (SOD), under the CIB.

 

The suspect, identified as Mr. Siwaphan faces multiple charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause and unlawful discharge of a firearm in a community area.

 

The incident occurred at a private residence in Moo 5, Wang Yai Subdistrict, near a local temple. According to investigators, the suspect had been drinking with a group of 5–6 friends at the house, which belonged to a friend of his girlfriend, when a group of men from another village arrived. The group, reportedly friends of the suspect’s girlfriend, intended to settle a personal dispute with him.

 

The situation quickly escalated into a heated argument, during which one of the men allegedly attempted to ram the suspect with a car twice. In response, the suspect drew a revolver and fired seven rounds in their direction. Fortunately, no one was injured. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting, later disposing of the firearm in a nearby river in an effort to destroy evidence.

 

The victims filed a complaint with police at Tha Tako Police Station. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued, and investigators from the SOD traced the suspect’s whereabouts to the Big C parking area in Tha Tako. He was taken into custody without resistance and handed over to local police for further legal proceedings.

 

Authorities confirmed that legal action against the suspect is now underway and reaffirmed their commitment to swiftly pursuing violent offenders who pose a threat to public safety.
