A police officer has turned himself in after fatally shooting his biological father seven times in what authorities are calling a deeply disturbing domestic incident. The suspect, a bomb disposal officer, is being held without bail due to the seriousness of the crime.

 

The victim, 73-year-old Mr. Prasarn, was gunned down inside his home in Khung Phayom Subdistrict, Ban Pong District, Ratchaburi Province, on the evening of 23 July. The suspect was identified as his own son, Police Lieutenant Colonel Prayoon, an officer in the Ratchaburi Provincial Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit.

 

Following the issuance of an arrest warrant, police launched a manhunt for Lt. Col. Prayoon, dispatching investigative teams to track him down and apply pressure for his surrender. On 25 July at 18:00, he reported to Ban Pong Police Station and handed himself in to Pol. Col. Kobchok Lektrakun, Superintendent of Ban Pong Police Station and Pol. Lt. Col. Phuwadon Udomnapakhun, Deputy Superintendent of Investigation.

 

Appearing physically and emotionally drained, the suspect was immediately taken into custody for interrogation.

 

Pol. Col. Kobchok revealed that Ratchaburi Provincial Police Commander, Pol. Maj. Gen. Watchirapong Amornpitak, had ordered the urgent apprehension of the suspect, instructing his teams to maintain sustained pressure. The initial investigation points to ongoing domestic tensions between father and son, including repeated verbal disputes, as the likely motive behind the shooting.

 

“This is a serious and violent crime. The provincial commander has made it clear that no bail will be granted in this case,” Col. Kobchok stated, adding that the investigation must be thorough before proceeding with legal prosecution.
