Former Village Head Shot Dead by Friend in Sakhon Nakhon
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A former village headman in Sakhon Nakhon was shot dead by a close friend using a gun from the upper floor of a house. The suspect, who made no attempt to flee, waited for the police and stated he had been overcome with emotions before pulling the trigger. The incident occurred on the evening of 3 March, in Ban Dong Noi, Dong Mafai subdistrict, Mueang district. Emergency responders from Sakhon Nakhon Hospital’s 1668 command centre were alerted to an unconscious person, but upon arrival, they found the victim had already died at the scene. The deceased was identified as Mr. Them, 51, a former village headman of Ban Dong Noi. His body was found lying on his back, wearing a jacket and long trousers, with a gunshot wound to the right side of his torso, which had penetrated his chest. Nearby, officers discovered a gun leaning against a water jar and a spent shell on the ground. The gunman, Mr. Pholsak, 47, was the owner of the house where the incident took place. He called the police himself and was found sitting underneath the house, waiting to surrender. He admitted to shooting the victim from the upper floor, hitting him in the back as he walked towards the bathroom, from a distance of around 12-15 metres. Emergency responder Thanatorn, who arrived at the scene, reported that the suspect insisted he would not flee and repeatedly stated that the incident was a result of emotional distress he could no longer contain. As tensions ran high, police quickly took him to Dong Mafai Police Station, fearing reprisals from the victim’s family and local villagers. The victim’s wife, 46, said her husband and the suspect had been cutting tree branches together earlier that day after a storm had caused damage near the suspect’s house. They had lunch and continued drinking together, while she returned home about 100 metres away. She later heard a loud gunshot and was called back to the scene by a relative, only to find her husband lying motionless. She was shocked by the killing, as the two men had been close friends. While rumours suggested the shooting stemmed from jealousy over alleged messages between her husband and the suspect’s wife, she dismissed these claims, stating there was no evidence to support them. A witness, 18-year-old Mr. Hai, who had been helping with the tree cutting, said the suspect appeared heavily intoxicated before firing the shot. After shooting, he allegedly turned to Hai and asked, “Shall I fire another?”, prompting the young man to flee on his motorbike in fear. Neighbours also noted that the suspect had been jealous of the victim’s friendship with his family, leading to mounting tensions. At Dong Mafai Police Station, forensic officers collected gunpowder residue samples from the suspect’s hands as part of the investigation. When questioned about his motive, he remained silent. Police have charged Mr. Pholsak with murder, while the gun used in the attack is being examined further. -- 2025-03-05 -

Decomposed Body Found Dumped in Forest Near Chonburi Road
Picture courtesy of SiamChon Thai police are investigating the discovery of a corpse covered with a fertiliser sack and plastic bags in a wooded area near a highway. Authorities in Huai Yai, have launched an investigation after a decomposed body was found dumped in a forested area off Highway 331 (Sattahip – Chachoengsao). The remains were covered with a fertiliser sack and plastic bags, and police have yet to confirm the victim’s gender. On 4 March, Police Lieutenant Nevin Suntavanik, an investigator from Huai Yai Police Station, was notified about the body near kilometre marker 25+400 in Pong subdistrict, Bang Lamung district. Officers, along with forensic investigators and rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation, were immediately dispatched to the scene. The body was located approximately 50 metres from the main road, inside a grove of acacia trees. It was in an advanced state of decomposition, suggesting the victim had been dead for several days. Nearby, police also found a pile of discarded electrical wire casings, with the copper stripped away, raising suspicions that the area might have been used for illegal wire scrapping. Police cordoned off the area and called in Chonburi Forensic Police Division 2 to assist with the investigation. A cassava farm owner, who first discovered the body, has been taken in for questioning at Huai Yai Police Station as part of the inquiry. Investigators are now working to determine the victim’s identity and cause of death. -- 2025-03-05 -

Factory Worker Killed as Lorry Turns Across Her Path in Chachoengsao
Picture from responders. A 30-year-old woman lost her life instantly after her motorcycle collided with a turning lorry, leaving her trapped under its wheels. Chachoengsao police are investigating a crash that claimed the life of a factory worker when a 10-wheeler lorry turned into a gas station, cutting across her path. The victim, riding a motorbike, was unable to brake in time and was crushed under the vehicle’s wheels. The incident occurred on 4 March at the entrance of a NGV gas station on Suwinthawong Road, near kilometre marker 62, in Nakhon Nuang Khet, Mueang district, Chachoengsao province. Police officers from Mueang Chachoengsao station, along with emergency responders from Phutthasothorn Hospital, arrived swiftly at the scene but found that the victim had already succumbed to her injuries. The deceased was identified as Miss Suthida Sang-asa, 30, a factory worker at a local company. Her pink Honda Scoopy-i motorcycle, registered in Nakhon Ratchasima, was found lying on its side, damaged. Witnesses stated that she was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision, but the impact shattered it completely, leaving her with serious and fatal head injuries. The lorry driver, Mr. Jirapath Somboon, 31, was behind the wheel of a white Isuzu 10-wheeler, registered in Chachoengsao. He told police that he was making a turn into the gas station when he suddenly heard a loud noise from the left side of his vehicle. “I stopped immediately and got out to check, only to find the motorbike lying on the ground and a woman trapped underneath,” he said. Initial police assessments indicate that the motorcycle left a skid mark, suggesting the victim attempted to brake but could not avoid hitting the lorry’s left rear wheel. Emergency services transported the victim’s body to Phutthasothorn Hospital, where her family will be contacted for funeral arrangements. Police are continuing their investigation and gathering evidence to determine any potential legal action against the driver. -- 2025-03-05
