HUA HIN: -- Hua Hin police have made a quick arrest in the slaying of the manager of the Dinosaur Market on Saturday evening.

Suwat (Geng) Pingmuang, 36, was shot in the face with a shotgun in full view of many people as he sat eating BBQ chicken at a stall outside the front of the market, reported Daily News.

The shooter was Prida (Tor) Natheeprakarn a local trader who sold spicy salad in the market.

Prida was taken on a reenactment of his crime by a large contingent of Hua Hin police yesterday.

Prida said that he had had arguments with Suwat and they had previously had a fist fight over a disagreement. He decided to buy a Thai made shotgun and brought it with him to the market on Saturday evening. He saw Suwat eating at a chicken stall and shot him in the
mouth. No words were exchanged.

Many people were watching in horror.

He then jumped on his white Honda Zoomer and drove off in the direction of the Cha-Am Pranburi bypass where he got on a public minivan. He went to Pathum Thani where he hid at a relative's house before police came to arrest him.

Relatives of the victim and a local resident came to present baskets of flowers to Hua Hin police for their swift action in arresting the shooter.

I will agree with you but in another post it was stated that Premeditated Murder carries a mandatory Death Penalty, so let's see what actually happens.

more of a revenge killing.

likely he will plead that he has intended to frighten

off the victim rather than killing him and he was not

aware of what he was doing.

sad that this escalated into a tragedy.

Because he will give useful information in the case his sentence will no doubt be cut in half.

Even though he shot a guy in the face with a shotgun in plain view of many witnesses.

Rest in piece fella.

It cant be premeditated murder because he lost face, perfectly acceptable defense. Pity his victim also lost face.

Shooting someone in the face may not be the same for Thailand but in my books it is premeditated murder. When you point loaded gun at someones face and pull the trigger you know it is not just going to give the guy a headache
