Baby shot dead in arson and gun attack at house



BANGKOK: -- A 3-month-old baby boy was killed and his grandmother seriously injured when gunmen set a car in front of a house afire and shot at occupants coming to see the fire.

The unusual attack happened Wednesday night at a house in Tambon Pranburi of Pranburi district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province.

Alerted by the victims, police came with firemen managed to put out a Nissan sedan which caught fire 10 minutes later.

Pools of blood were found on the floor in front of the house, and inside.

An injured occupant identified as Mrs Rasamee Dechalor, 48, was shot in the shoulder, both hands and legs.

But the baby was shot on the head and died at the scene.

Mother of the killed baby Mrs Nichapan Naktap said they were watching TV when they smelt smoke outside the house.

She came out with holding her baby in hands.

She shouted for help when she saw her car parked in front caught fire.

As she was shouting gunmen emerged and opened fire at her and her mother.

Her mother was hit by the gunfire as well as her baby on the head, she said.

For once I am lost for words.........

[canuckamuck]

They are going to have to build more rooms in hell, by the way things are going these days

[kannot]

But everyone tells me drugs are ok,

Seriously the kid is innocent of anything but we do not know the family history, they could have been really awful neighbours and when has anybody ever admitted to that.

Ive seen a family in my village who are terrible people, nobody likes them they steal other peoples land and nobody likes them. They dont care one bit what anyone thinks, they even fight amongst themselves.

Youll never know the full story

For sure the murdered babe don't know or care about the full story eh......

[Lupatria]

If the baby killer gets caught, will we hear the magic phrase: "self defense" again?

[robertthebruce]

How,sad is this, a 3 month old baby is dead...

Words fail me... This wee mite's life had not even started....

R.I.P.

[alexpoker]

RIP. What a sad story.

[SOTIRIOS]

.....there must be more to the story.....

[mdmayes]

This type of violence in the world today is getting to be all to common. RIP baby 3 month.

Maybe the mother started dealing again, and the poor infant got caught in the cross fire.

My most favorite picture of my 9 year old daughter is when she was 3 months old.

Vigilante justice here is fully authorized in my opinion.

If I KNEW who it was, I'd stick a .44 Magnum between his eyes and pull the trigger if he'd hurt my daughter. Consequences be damned.

Nothing less than life in prison for the criminals involved!

My condolences to the family and friends.

[kamahele]

we see this all too often in the US. Sorry to see it here too.

[catweazle]

It's a sick world, full of sick people

RIP to the poor baby and condolences to the family and friends. Hope the culprit is caught and dealt with accordingly (killed by an angry mob).

you could probably learn a hell of a lot more from the "full story" rather than the "shock value" in the report, one would be the full effects of drugs in society.

Half measures, for what?

[Strangebrew]

Tying these scumbags to a tree on a fresh bamboo bed come to mind RIP little one your in God's hand now. Justice will be served one way or another.

Tragic

Maybe she had Grassed on other drug dealers when she was caught, and this was payback !??

This is not a story of the effects of drugs on society. It is a story on the effects of making drugs illegal and therefore dealing in drugs highly profitable for the lowest scum in society. Why do people always confuse cause and effect. The cause is the law the effect is death, destruction and mass incarceration.

.....there must be more to the story.....

Ya you can bet there is, usually a pay back, when the word drugs are used, and the mother had a history with them. Revenge or pay back, can have a long road to be executed, but the assigns, or at least it sounds like, had time on their side. Very sad the little baby was just a innocent bystander .

[jakobvarming]

There's definitively something NOT being told in this sad story.

Start to scratch the surface and something ugly will most probably emerge here.

The arson was to lure people out of the house - a planned set-up like that is not due to neighbour trouble, there's something more sinister at play.

[searayman]

Another life taken away….sad

My condolences to the family.

Where do all the fire arms come from ?

Ban fire arms for good.

only law enforcement officer on duty allow to carry arms under strict supervision

stop issue of firearm licence to public

punish illegal arm bearer

start taking action and action must be consistence…..not just talk only

[shaurene]

Why oh why, God a baby. I am just coming to the end of a large book been reading, "The Last Pope" some of the the Armagedon predictions from the start 10th century, 3 main ones, 1: WW1, WW2 and the missile Crisis in the 60s all came true. Just waiting to read the last and final one which will wipe all humans from the face of the earth, let it come quickly.

[shaurene]

A baby for gods sake!! Please Thai Police, do your job for once!!

RIP little guy..................

How do you know they're not doing their job ? It's only just happened. Typical kneejerk rubbish.

As this forum shows the Thai Police frequently do 'do their job' ! I wish we had their speed of capture here in the UK !

Ye, but the UK police have their hands tied in case they get accused of being racist.

[Loles]

How much innocent was this small baby.

Shit idiots are walking around us.

Interesting view - where was god when he was shot ?

The god was drunk or slept deep.

[slipperylobster]

we see this all too often in the US. Sorry to see it here too.

Let it rest. Every story that comes out in these forums sinks into some kind of rant that somehow tries to relate apples in the USA to bananas in Thailand. This could happen anywhere....infrequently. Has nothing in common with events in Timbuktu either.

A miserable vendetta.... an attack on an entire family.
