SURAT THANI: -- A Thai mum saw that her son was about to be shot by an assassin so she jumped in front to protect him.

 

She was shot dead as the shooter fled.

 

Police in Surat Thani found the son she had saved and her husband crying uncontrollably as they cradled the woman who had sacrificed her life, reports Daily News.

 

The incident happened at a house in Bang Ngorn sub-district of Phun Phin late on Monday night. Pranee Mapha, 58 and her husband Manee Bunrot were with their son Somkiat Bunrot beside the house.

 

A man arrived in a Toyota pick-up. Before long he had pulled out a shotgun and when Pranee saw that it was aimed at her son she jumped in front to give him protection, said police.

 

But she was shot and died at the scene.

 

The shooter fled the scene and now the hunt is on while police are interviewing the son to find out why someone wanted to kill him.

The ultimate sacrifice.... no more supreme cause in life that a parent

protecting their children, sadly, not always it's the case....

RIP dear mum. U r the best mother in the world.

The number of illegal guns out in the streets in the hands of morons is just nuts. 

R.I.P. brave woman and mother! This is really heartbreaking ... And no mentioning anywhere else in a foreign newspaper,  because this is a normal daily occurrence in Thailand same as in Mexico, Philippines, etc. Why doesn't the junta concentrate on eradicating these killers in the south instead of their single gateway project? The south is their job.

How can this family cope with was has happened?

I am wondering what Police are doing in Thailand ?

Looking for ways to make money.

Just another day in Triggerhappystan. RIP mum, wherever you are, you earned my deepest respect.  

A brave sacrifice.

I wonder if the son deserved such devotion?

What has he been doing to have an assassin coming to kill him?

A great mother! RIP

RIP one brave parent!

That is why you should be too.

Obviously a loving and wonderful mother. She made the biggest and most beautiful (albeit horrible) sacrifice for her child. Let's hope that son of hers is worthy of this great deed and that he does everything in his power to honor her.

sounds to me like he was not worth it, how many people here have people looking for them to be shot???????? none i expect, so it tells you what sort of b-m he was.

Plenty of activists and environmentalists, for example.

just be happie assasins arent shooting down innocent tourists.

In Thairath it's reported the police have interviewed Somkiat, the 26 year-old son. He had in the past been arrested along with 2 other men for growing and selling the banned drug krathom. Since the arrest, the men had fallen out and not spoken to each other since they believed Somkiat had provided information to the police which had led to their arrest.

I guess you mean pedophiles ?

"An Eye for an Eye and. Tooth for a Tooth"  . Okay ,that sounds understandable ...but repeated drug users ? Do you want to kill them all , even if they did not harm anybody else ?

If there are no drug users then there are no drug peddlers (purveyors of death and misery).

I hope the son was worth it Why would someone want to shoot him down Maybe drugs then maybe jealousy 

Hope the police find the real reason this woman gave her life

Jesus, what sanctimonious drivel!

Monthly insurance collections? Why is it you do not know these things?

So the Son was being hunted by an assassin. Sounds

like a worthless piece of trash;  really, how much trouble

do you have to create for a "hit" to be ordered on you....

Doubt he was worth this woman's,sacrifice.

If there were no human beings there would be no drug peddlers or users.....  )purveyors of death and misery)... so are you first in line to be got rid of?

A brave sacrifice indeed from the Mother and no matter what the son was involved in, in the ,mothers eyes, just as any parent would/should feel, of course the son would have deserved that devotion, no matter the son or daughters age, they are always our children no matter what they get up to. I know that my son is the reason I get up in the mornings so would and do protect him unconditionally.

I think if the drug problem was treated as a public health issue instead of a crime issue, we'd probably move forward on it. This so called 'war on drugs' has been by any measure, a complete failure. This brave mother is yet another victim of bad, lazy laws driving drugs underground and into the hands of criminals.
