In an escalating family dispute, a man stormed into his relatives’ residence shooting dead one and injuring another yesterday, before fleeing the scene. Police have since launched an investigation to find the suspect, who had left with his partner and child.

In the quiet suburbs of Chachoengsao, a family dispute yesterday took a tragic turn when 43 year old Kamol Puangsri, involved in a long-running feud with his relatives, invaded their residence brandishing a firearm, leaving his 38 year old relative Wisut (last name undisclosed), dead and Wisut’s 25 year old spouse, Chalinee (last name undisclosed), injured. The dispute seemingly began two years ago over their respective dogs instigated a continuous strain in their relations, leading to the escalating altercation.

Injured Chalinee confirmed that the initial interaction between her and Kamol bordered on arguments, eventually leading to a physical confrontation. Her late husband Wisut stepped in to mediate which then led Kamol to violently lash out, using his firearm as a mechanism of absolute aggression.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Sathit Mitruk, station head of Chachoengsao, disclosed that further investigations are underway to locate Kamol, who was last seen fleeing with his wife and child in a four-door, black Mitsubishi Triton with an unidentifiable license plate number 4111. Detailed history and residential information of Kamol and his immediate family have been gathered to aid in the ongoing pursuit, reported KhaoSod. Sathit said…

“The authorities are now seeking court approval for an arrest warrant against Kamol.”

In a recent incident, a 68 year old woman from Thailand was reportedly attacked by her son, resulting in critical injuries. The altercation arose from a domestic dispute involving the mother’s alcohol consumption.

The situation escalated when the mother attempted to discipline a dog by striking it, provoking the dog to bite her in response. Subsequently, the son became involved in the conflict and allegedly assaulted his mother. Read more HERE.
