webfact Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Caught On CCTV: Cab Driver Shot Dead By 'Jealous Man'By Khaosod EnglishBANGKOK: -- The police have released CCTV footage of the murder of a taxi driver who was shot dead following a fistfight in Bangkok earlier this week.Police said Mr. Duangchan Buakiew, 39, shot in Soi Lat Phrao 114, Wang Thong Lang district, at around 03.00 on 8 April. A group of local residents rushed him to hospital, but he later succumbed to his severe injuries.Medical workers found 2 gunshot wounds on Mr. Duangchan's stomach, and another one on his left leg. The police also discovered 5 .45 bullet cases in the crime scene.Witnesses told the police Mr. Duangchan was "flirting" with a girlfriend of another man prior to the incident. The man reportedly became enraged and engaged in fistfights with Mr. Duangchan out of jealousy, but he eventually lost the fight to Mr. Duangchan and fled from the area.In the CCTV footage obtained by the police, Mr. Duangchan could be seen walking to wash his bruised face at a water tank in an apartment's parking lot in Soi Latphrao 114, apparently thinking the fight was over. However, shortly afterwards the man, who was now armed with a hand gun, caught up with him and proceeded to shoot Mr. Duangchan dead.Witnesses said the taxi driver could be heard asking for mercy, but was ignored by the perpetrator, who fled the crime scene after the incident.Police identified the man as Mr. Teerapat Rattanapat, a textile vendor and native of Nakhon Si Thammarat province. The court has approved the arrest warrant on Mr. Teerapat, and the police have urged any citizen who recognised the man from the CCTV footage to pass information to the police force.The police also dismissed a rumour that Mr. Duangchan was in fact a pro-government taxi driver who had been murdered by an anti-government protest guard, insisting that the case was purely motivated by personal disputes.WARNING!!

Popular Post Pimay1 Posted April 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2014 The police also dismissed a rumour that Mr. Duangchan was in fact a pro-government taxi driver who had been murdered by an anti-government protest guard, insisting that the case was purely motivated by personal disputes. If the truth was known I expect this rumour was started by Khaosod. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story especially if you have an agenda and never miss an opportunity to start a rumour if it supports your agenda. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Valentine Posted April 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2014 See how much of a hero he is without a gun & a lifetime in jail. I cannot believe the amount of murders here based on jealousy. The insecurity of these guys is beyond belief or is it to do with the fact that many boy children here get spoilt rotten when they are kids & so always used to getting what they want. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post banglassie Posted April 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) See how much of a hero he is without a gun & a lifetime in jail. I cannot believe the amount of murders here based on jealousy. The insecurity of these guys is beyond belief or is it to do with the fact that many boy children here get spoilt rotten when they are kids & so always used to getting what they want. I believe in the "spoilt" part... Never seen a anywhere where parents, mothers in general, spoil their kids (boys) as much. Not much are expected from a boy. If he doesn't succeed with anything he can just continue live at home, maybe work some on a field sometimes and get the rest of his cash from his mom. (that she probably got from their daughter secretly putting herself in debt over her head while promising everything is fine to the parents to "not make things hard for them"...) But must be nice to be a teenager for lifetime though, no real responsibilities, children handed over to the wife or again, mom. Then he can freely spend his time drinking, gambling and smoking Yaba until he has too much debt and need more from his mom(sister(s)) Shameless nation to be born a man in, no wonder so many chooses transform to become women...

tetleythedog Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 the low self esteem that needs to be boosted by a "macho" image..........typically THai, maybe he shot him because the taxi driver had a bigger dick............. not hard to believe that!

Andre0720 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just getting more and more difficult to think that Thais are no different than people from other countries. Thai bashing, well no reason for that many will claim. But more and more difficult to adhere to that belief... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I hope the girl that one man died for and the another man may either receive a death or life sentence for was worth it. Get uncontrollably angry, shoot to kill and worry about the consequences later, seems to be the attitudes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jonesthebaker Posted April 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yeah, the fall looks fake, but they say the guy died....dunno. looks fake. so if a person i shot in the stomache how should they fall. i mean you have obviously seen many people shot in the stomache - or are you talking absolute nonsense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamalaRider Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Us farrangs must look upon Thai men as children but in a grown mans body, add hormones that their brain can handle and this is what you get? The more south you get in Thailand, the more violent they are and more imature. Although this happens everywhere, the perputrator is too often borned and raised in the south. R.I.P. to the man gettings shot dead and my condolences to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like 2 shots were fired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
