Crime Father Shoots Son Dead in Loei, Claims Years of Abuse Sparked Act
Picture courtesy of Amarin A 61-year-old man has turned himself in to police after fatally shooting his 40-year-old son in the back of the head with a shotgun, citing years of alcohol and drug-fuelled violence against him and his wife as the cause of his breaking point. The incident occurred around 19.00 on 3 May at a residence in Village 5, Tambon Puan Phu, Nong Hin District, Loei Province. Police investigators, forensic officers, rescue workers, and a medical team responded to reports of a fatal shooting at the rear of the property. The victim, Mr Boonthan Singhadetcha, was found dead in the outdoor kitchen area. He had suffered a single gunshot wound to the right side of the back of his head, inflicted with a sawn-off 20-gauge shotgun. His body was discovered slumped forward into a plastic rubbish bin. The suspect, identified as Mr Saen Singhadetcha, the victim’s father, fled the scene on a motorcycle. Police launched an immediate search and found a witness, Mr Apichat Sopharak, 37, a friend of the victim who had been drinking with him at the time. Later, Mr Saen’s relatives contacted police to report that he wished to surrender. He confessed to the killing and led officers to the location where he had hidden the weapon, on top of a water tank around 50 metres from the scene. According to his statement, Mr Saen said his son had long struggled with alcohol and methamphetamine abuse, often becoming aggressive and physically violent toward his parents. On the day before the incident, Mr Saen claimed that after an argument, he left home to sleep at a nearby farm hut. The next morning, he returned to retrieve the shotgun, reportedly owned by his son and hidden beneath a mattress. He said he test-fired the weapon once in the field before returning home that evening. There, Mr Apichat offered him two or three shots of rice whisky. Without speaking to his son, Mr Saen then approached from behind and shot him at point-blank range. Following the shooting, he fled to a relative’s house in Na Duang District but later received a phone call from his wife urging him to surrender. He told officers he regretted the act but had reached his limit after years of suffering. Mr Saen is now in police custody as legal proceedings commence. The case has reignited public discussion on domestic violence and mental strain within families affected by addiction. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-05-05. -

Accident Nakhon Phanom Man Seriously Injured After Chemical Drum Explosion
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 57-year-old rice mill owner from Nakhon Phanom was left in critical condition after a 200-litre chemical drum he was cutting exploded violently, injuring him in front of his children. Emergency services were called to Ban Don Daeng, Moo 9, in Kam Toei Subdistrict at around 11:00 on 3 May, following reports of an explosion involving an unidentified drum. Responders from Kam Toei Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and staff from Nakhon Phanom Hospital rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency teams found the remains of a blue chemical drum with its lid blown open and the base severely dented. Nearby were fragments of a metal-cutting wheel, a damaged angle grinder, a pair of sandals, and a pool of blood. The victim, identified as Mr Thani Sonpaeng, 57, had sustained severe facial and neck injuries and was rendered unconscious. His youngest son rushed him to Nakhon Phanom Hospital, where he was immediately taken into intensive care for emergency surgery. Doctors later discovered a brain haemorrhage and arranged for his transfer to Sakhon Nakhon Hospital for further treatment. Mr Thani’s daughter, Ms Piyanuch Sonpaeng, 31, recounted the moment. “I was resting in a hammock when I heard a deafening bang. I ran out and saw my father unconscious and covered in blood,” she said tearfully. Ms Piyanuch had only just returned home after undergoing uterine surgery the day before. Family members and neighbours confirmed that Mr Thani had recently purchased the drum from a local dealer and was attempting to repurpose it into a charcoal-burning stove. He was reportedly using a grinder to cut open the drum without first venting or emptying it, which likely caused residual vapours inside to ignite. One witness stated: “He didn’t open the cap before cutting into the drum. There was still either gas or chemical residue inside. White liquid-like substances spilled out after the blast.” Mr Thani’s wife, Mrs Liang Sonpaeng, 57, who was working in the fields at the time of the explosion, was devastated upon learning of the accident. “I came home to find my husband had already been taken to hospital. I hugged my daughter and broke down crying. It was all too much,” she said. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-05-05. -
