PHAYAO: Two days after Vichai Srisuriyathada’s body was found dumped with nine holes in his back, his friend Daoruang Ngaothakhu, 53, turned himself in to police, telling them that he could no longer stand the pangs of guilt. Daoruang told police that Vichai decided he needed to lose some of the booze from the pair’s drinking session, before going home. Unfortunately he chose to have a tinkle right in front of the spirit house. Daoruang, seeing red at this act of impiety, grabbed his shotgun and fired. He explained that he meant only to frighten Vichai, but his shot caught Vichai in the back and killed him.
