Man, 71, charged with murdering young lover’s husband
By The Nation

 

BANGKOK: -- A 71-year-old Bangkok man has been arrested for allegedly shooting dead the husband of his much younger mistress.

 

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Sanit Mahathavorn said Songkram Ratanakhom was arrested at his rented apartment on Soi Praditphat 17 in Phayathai district, Samsen Nai sub-district, on Wednesday morning.

 

He was charged with murdering Supoj Maenram, 30. The chartered van driver was shot twice in the head and once in the chest at 10pm Tuesday while sitting in his van in front of his house on nearby Soi Pradiphat 21.

 

Sanit said a Beretta gun was found in Songkram’s flat.

 

The commission claimed the older man had been involved in an extramarital affair for several years with Supoj’s wife, whose age was not immediately known but described as “young”.

 

He’d bought her a four-baht gold necklace, but then learned that Supoj had pawned it and refused to buy it back. Songkram recovered the necklace himself but was angry at the husband, Sanit said.

 

Knowing that Supoj often slept in his van, Songkram found him there and shot him dead, Sanit said, saying the elderly man had admitted to the crime.

 

He said Songkram at first sought to flee, taking a bus to Ngam Wong Wan district, but changed his mind and returned home.

According to Sanit, Songkram acted out of sudden rage and the belief that Supoj treated his wife so poorly that he had provide for her.

 

Songkram re-enacted the crime for police at the scene and was then taken to Bang Sue police station and booked for murder.

He was angry that the husband of the woman he was shagging sold jewellery he gave her as a ''gift''?

 

Moron, what did he expect would happen to any such ''gifts''?

 

Or did he think it was true love...

Maybe should have offered to run away with the young lady, if she accepted great!! If she sent him on his way then he would at least know where he stood with her and he wouldn't be up on a murder rap. 

 

Not the best decision he has made in his life, but likely one of the last really stupid mistakes he will make.

The wife was playing away for money, perhaps with the full knowledge of her husband. Maybe this woman had a few more tricks on the go, who knows?

 

Playing with human emotions is a dangerous game, that in this case has destroyed the lives of two men. As for the woman, she will probably continue on with her life as normal. These men are mugs.

what ? 71 year olds are not supposed to be able to shoot a gun ?

could have damaged his hearing aid and anyway at 71 one would expect him to have grown up, way past needing a penis substitute.

Stupidity has no age limit.

I would have thought that for many studs getting  near 71 and still choosing to play with fire it would be a good time to think about hanging up your guns.

Re again, it was the husband who sold the jewellery, not the wife/lover.
