Thai Boyfriend shoots his British lover in South Pattaya



PATTAYA: -- A 67 year old British National was shot in the neck by his Thai Boyfriend in front of a South Pattaya Apartment Complex on Wednesday afternoon.

Police and medics were called to the K Apartments in Soi Saitee off Pattaya 3rd Road, close to the Bali Hai Overpass, and attended to Mr. Colin Thomas Gardiner, who was in a semi-conscious state and had lost a considerable amount of blood from the single gunshot wound in his neck.

The alleged shooter, his Thai Boyfriend, Khun Tiradaet aged 33, was arrested nearby after he attempted to flee the scene of the shooting. He was caught with a 38 caliber handgun which is thought to have been used by him to shoot Mr. Gardiner.

Staff at the apartments told Police that Khun Tiradaet had moved-in to the apartment complex 2 days previous to the shooting. Every day his English boyfriend visited him but would not go up to his room. The pair would meet and talk on the ground floor at the front of the complex.

On the day of the shooting the pair met as usual and no raised voices could be heard. Seconds later 2 gun shots were heard and Mr. Gardiner was seen on the ground clenching his neck.

"Khun Tiradaet had moved-in to the apartment complex 2 days previous to the shooting. Every day his English boyfriend visited him but would not go up to his room." Every of the 2 days?

[bristolgeoff]

did he bring gun when he moved in.i wonder

[IamNoone88]

Would suggest that the Thai lover only just missed hitting his target - his boyfriends head. Lucky for him no third shot. I wonder if he wil decide to stay in Thailand after his near death experience!

[little mary sunshine]

Old man may have figured out he was just a sucker being

Used for money(surprise, surprise ). "Boyfriend" may have

Had young guy in his room. Life in Pattaya!!

[pmh2009]

Not easy to agree on a price it would appear. Two days of discussions and a shooting.

What disrespectful bunch of idiots mosts of you are here.

Colin is a very good friend of mine. I have known him for more then 14 years. He is one of the most decent farangs here in Pattaya. Has helped many people Thai and farangs.

If you don't know the/his private situation and have nothing decent to add here, just all shut the FFFF up.

Or the young guy moved in to the building to get away from the old bloke, the old bloke kept coming round and the young guy wouldn't let him up to the room.

Basically we don't know anything more than one person shot another person.

RIP to the murder victim.

I hope the shooter gets a fair trial and if convicted, pays the price.

[Chao Lao Beach]

I wonder if there would be the same comments if it was a chick who shot him ?

Glad he survived, shame this little <deleted> will 99% get away with it though.

[mercman24]

trying to find where south pattaya is on my body. nope can't find it, anyhow get well soon, and beware of gun toting ladyboys. i never did understand the "lady" bit, they are men for christ sake.

[mercman24]

sorry to hear the poor guy has died rip

[Asiantravel]

It is rather sobering to think this poor victim may have had some concerns about the possible behaviour of the alleged shooter from the fact that he never went up to the room. But he probably thought he would be safe meeting in a relatively public area and yet he still wasn’t. I don’t know about anyone else but I find that quite scary.

TIT. Justice here is bought by the baht.

Well, there would still be disrespect. That's the way it is here.

He didn't survive. I hope nobody buys the "farang annoyed me" defense.

There is credible info on another forum that the victim did die.

Don't think being dead is classed as survived.. RIP to the man.

[ChangMaiSausage]

_{RIP and condolences to his family and friends, no one should die like this.}

_{The reason for the fallout is now irrelevant, its all about the murder.}

_{It will probably be another case that will disappear into the Thai legal smoke screen.}

_{Hope justice prevails.}

He confessed that he had been in the relationship with the foreign man for about 8 months and Mr Colin always accused him of seeing someone else so he decided to meet him to tell him it was over. Mr Colin then asked him to talk about it in his room but he didn’t want to go, got angry and shot him twice.

Some way to break up..
