By Coconuts Bangkok



CHONBURI: -- Police are searching for a man who shot his fiance and her mother in an auto shop yesterday. The grisly murders, which were captured on CCTV, also show the man performing a cheerful little jig shortly after he fired the three fatal bullets.

In the video the killer, Tasapol Haekla, his fiance, her mother and two other individuals are seen talking on camera for about 10 minutes. Suddenly Tasapol, who was known for his short temper, retrieves a gun and shoots both women.

The fiance, Kewelin Hongthong, and her mother died instantly. [read more...]

Chilling, what a total pyschopath!

[yougivemebaby]

Oh my GOD! He does it so casually. This guy is a sociopath. RIP to the family. Was that her sister and brother in the room with her? It could have been much worse. He easily could have shot 4 people not including the workers outside. What a tragedy!

[ginjag]

This is a real nutter, that wants (doing) in technicolour. He must have previous record I can't believe it was a one off.

money involved??/ nice place-busy business.

what a way to end their life--a sh#t of a boyfriend, no words do describe this. Death penalty--sure, if anyone says feed him in a monkey cage, get your head tested.

Jasus!

oh my goodness ... this is tragic .. absolutely tragic ..... So many nut cases here specially with guns ... ego problem !

[animatic]

This guy will likely shoot it out with police,

since he clearly lacks compunction of any sort. Lunatic.

Let's hope they get him off the streets ASAP and with no further deaths.

[metisdead]

What an absolutely horrifying event!

[NCC1701A]

is there no where left to escape the madness?

[tingtongfarang]

If if was legal would it be worth betting that this guy will be out on bail after they get hold of him?

[NCC1701A]

DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO!

[JulesMad]

I am speechless.... This guy does NOT deserve to live!

[Briggsy]

The report talks about the guy's extensive criminal record and involvement with drugs.

The Coconut report talks about a "shoot on sight" order from the police. (not 100% on that translation)

Why do I get a feeling the fiancé felt stepped on by mom and daughter

over the sinsod size and schedule. Which is not a good thing to do to a sociopath of course...

How many times have grasping future in-laws, ruined a match just as it came to the starting gate by ridiculous demands on the future husband? Can't be only a few, though most don't end this abruptly nor violently.

Is this dude gonna get punished??? No,,... will he get an arrest warrant from the DSI, ... yes, does it mean anything??? NOOO,... hell no!!!!!!,

Manhunt,... will soon be forgotten.... like the case with that Karen girl...

[gl555]

He's a nobody, not some politician or rich man's son. They'll get him. He'll probably be killed in a shootout with the police.

[nottocus]

Should be out on bail in a week once he's caught.

[TheWalkingMan]

The way he ignored the other two in the room suggests that something had been brewing for awhile and on that day he just said forget it. That little dance at the end looked like one of relief now that something big was completed.

[Tywais]

This is a real nutter, that wants (doing) in technicolour. He must have previous record I can't believe it was a one off.

He was in jail 3 times for gun possession and latest on yaba charges. Saw this earlier at the office and the office staff were glued to the TV watching it. It stunned me also how callous he was about the whole thing.

//edit - he got upset because his girlfriend was posting on facebook to another guy. At least that was what they told me at the office.

[transam]

There is a place 6 feet under for guys like this.

[KanomPang]

Holy crap!

[i claudius]

Yes the girl had been talking to some guy on facebook , but this creep deserves to die ,here

s hoping the police do it.

[EyesWideOpen]

Hot tempered Thai men who snap like a twig , and guns do not seem

to fit well together. Perhaps the police could give some thought

to cracking down on gun ownership....

[angryfarang]

I wish I'd never watched that. That's some xxxxxx up xxxx right there.

The wife just showed me this video. Wish she hadnt. Enough to put anyone in a bad mood.

Hoping they catch the guy asap (and stick the boot in a good few hours)

[PoodMaiDai]

Soon to be arrested and let out on bail.

[Chao Lao Beach]

If they know who he is, why not a good quality pic of this mongrel ?

And he didn't know there was a camera there to record all of this ??

According to Matichon, the mother and daughter had gone to the garage on the evening of the 8th to pay a visit to the owner because they were close friends.
Shortly afterwards, the boyfriend, 35 year old Thanet Haekan, came into the foyer and a loud argument began with him accusing his gf of chatting to another man on Facebook. The argument ended with him pulling out the gun and shooting the gf and mother-in-law dead.
Police revealed that he had a previous criminal history, having been in prison three times already and made a habit of carrying a gun around in public which he discharged regularly while drunk, much to the annoyance of his neighbours. He had a job as a truck driver delivering between BKK and Rayong.
The were due to be married on the 28th of this month.
The daughter, 28 year old Keolin Hongthorn, had recently graduated with a 1st class honours degree in marketing from Burapha University in Thailand's Chonburi province.
They seem mismatched in education etc and I guess he can't have been earning that much as a truck driver. Hard to see how they were a couple.
