Police Killed in Drug Bust Shootout

 

CityNews – On 29th November police arrested 30 year old Khanawut Nithichompon with 2000 yaba pills. After the arrest the police organised a sting operation, using Khanawut as bait to catch his dealer, whom he was meeting with that evening.

 

Police positioned themselves around the meet site near Mae Malai Market, Mae Taeng District and soon a man and a woman turned up for the trade. Somehow the couple were alerted to the presence of the police and a gun battle ensued resulting in the shooting of a police officer.

 

Police Lance Corporal Siriyut Noiarun was later declared dead at the hospital from infections to his wound.

Died of infection within 2 days? Unusual.

Yes indeed, not the usual cause of death from a gunshot wound so quick.

RIP. " Somehow the couple were alerted to the presence of the police " Maybe saw police away from police station and thought something was a bit fishy?

Yes it does sound unusual..., I'm wondering if the bullet went through 1 or more organs 'lower down' ? In which case..., I would imagine all modern hospitals would cope with this event.
Anyway..., yes it is a sad outcome...., RIP.
