A Thai soldier has been charged after shooting at the brother-in-law of a social media influencer in Udon Thani, following allegations of adultery. Soraya “Aum” Upaiprom, a prominent influencer, brought the incident to light to protect her family and seek justice. The shooting occurred on January 25, and the soldier now faces arrest warrants for trespassing and attempted murder.

The conflict began months earlier, with the first incident captured on CCTV in June. The soldier was seen trespassing into Aum's family home with a gun. Despite police reports and interventions by a senior officer, the threats continued, culminating in the shooting incident on Sunday. The soldier accused Aum's brother-in-law, Jack, of having an affair with his wife, leading to the violent confrontation.
