webfact Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Kuiburi shooting: District chief says prawn farmer "thinks he is above the law" as third victim dies Picture: Thairath PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN: -- The Kuiburi district chief has spoken out after the shocking violence that has left three people dead and several injured. A 23 year old woman has now died making three dead from the revenge shooting that began with complaints about noise at a party and ended in a bloodbath, reports Thairath. Shooter Somchai Yenjai,45, owner of the Choksirichai prawn farm in Prajuabkhirikhan and his grandson Buan have fled the area. The incident followed an alleged attack on the grandson who went to ask a group of teenagers to tone down the noise at a party. Two of the dead - Sarawuth Kaemthai, 24, and Thipsalalee Kaemthai, 23 - are children of Thanakrit Kaemthai the phu yai ban. Tipsalalee succumbed to her injuries in hospital last night. The other victim is Rachen Pratpreuang, 19. He was shot in the head prompting others to rush to the scene to come to his aid. Kuiburi district chief Chartree Janwirachai called on the police to step up efforts to find the shooter and his grandson. He said: "This is a shocking incident. Somchai thinks he is above the law. He knew full well what he was doing and that two of the victims were children of the phu yai ban. "He has fled the area with his grandson and must be found".

worgeordie Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 "Somchai thinks he is above the law. " that goes for a lot more people with money and a gun. regards worgeordie

So, had they shot ordinary Joe's, all would be okay? I'm not condoning what these two did, but perhaps the phu yai ban's children shouldn't have beaten the crap out of the the grandson when he asked them to tone down the music. Seems like more than one side of this tragedy thought they were above the law. And we'll never hear about any buildup to this incident that may have been years in the making.
Borzandy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 He is above the law ONLY if he has enough money.
IAMHERE Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Looks like we'll eventually see who is more above the law; phu yai ban or moderately successful farmer. They should have turned the music down instead of doing the Thai beatdown on the grandson. I see how the phu yai ban has political connections but money also buys clout.
Mitker Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 7 hours ago, webfact said: He knew full well (...) that two of the victims were children of the phu yai ban. By far the most irrelevant part of the story for any normal mind
Italian guy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 8 hours ago, webfact said: two of the victims were children of the phu yai ban So that's the real problem...

I doubt too many locals will be mourning their deaths. Thailand has way too many scumbags with kids that not only feel above the law, they are.
steven100 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 He should have got the police to go and ask them, not the grandson. Obviously he lost his temper when they beat up the grandson. Maybe next time they'll turn the music down .... but I doubt
BlindMagician Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Yeah, prawn farmers are usually the well connected high roller types.
Elkski Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 disturbing to me that a reporter would dare to say that it matters who the victims father is. I guess it is common thinking so much that a reporter thunk it important and ok to say it.

Rhys Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 ....and somehow the border is open to them and the police cannot find them next door as well?

sandemara Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 The fact the shooters have "gone on the run" suggests they clearly don't think they're above the law.

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 It's a shame there is no video clip of the incident on Tuesday when an ex-police inspector and prawn farm owner shot three people dead and wounded five others in Prachuap Khiri Khan. I bet that would have gone viral... Police are "looking for him and his grandson who fled the scene."
mercman24 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 next we will be reading, the cop saying, if ya not too busy within the next 7 days just pop in for a friendly chat if that is ok with you
