Man allegedly shoots and kills co-worker because he wouldn’t turn down the radio

A man at a golf cart repair shop allegedly shot and killed his co-worker who had told him to turn down his radio. 46 year old Pongthep Phloiprasong was listening to his radio at the shop run by the Thai police in Phitsanulok’s Phrom Phiram district Sunday night. Witnesses say 37 year old Te Aw, a Burmese national, told him to turn it down because it was loud and annoying.

Te allegedly grabbed a shotgun from under a lawn mower at the shop and shot Pongthep. No details were reported other than he was seriously wounded by the gunshot and later died at Phrom Phiram Hospital.

The shooting happened at around 7:40pm Sunday at the Silver Star Golf Course repair shop, which is run by Provincial Police Region 6, according to the district’s deputy chief investigator, Pol Capt Kanapot Intaputi. Te was arrested on murder charges.
