Married landlord shoots car of tenant’s boyfriend in jealous rage
A landlord in Nonthaburi province, near Bangkok, fired shots at his tenant’s boyfriend’s car on Wednesday, reportedly driven by jealousy, despite being married with children.
The 40 year old car owner, Suradate, filed a complaint with Bang Bua Thong Police Station at 5pm on Wednesday, December 4, after discovering his silver-bronze Toyota Vios sedan riddled with three bullet holes. Broken glass was scattered across the front seats of the vehicle.
Suradate’s girlfriend, 39 year old Nee, told the police that the gunman was her landlord, 43 year old prason. He reportedly fled the scene in his car immediately after the shooting.
Nee explained that she was previously a single mother living in the rental room with her child. Somprasong, who is married and has children, developed feelings for her but she rejected his advances as she did not want to be a mistress.
Despite her rejection, Somprasong continued pursuing her. About a year ago, Nee entered into a relationship with Suradate, who began visiting her regularly and occasionally staying overnight, which angered Somprasong.
Nee revealed that Somprasong previously damaged Suradate’s car by kicking and breaking a side mirror. She did not expect the situation to escalate further, especially since Suradate had reduced his visits to avoid provoking Somprasong. However, the shooting still occurred.
On the day of the incident, Nee informed Somprasong that her boyfriend would be visiting. She then left her phone with her child and did not contact Somprasong for the rest of the day.
Somprasong reportedly made 16 phone calls to Nee, which her child rejected without her knowledge. Jealous Somprasong then approached Suradate’s car, fired at it, and fled the scene.
In an interview with Naewna, Suradate stated that Somprasong hated him for his relationship with Nee. Somprasong claimed Nee was his girlfriend and demanded that Suradate end the relationship, a request he refused.
Police are currently tracking down Somprasong and are investigating whether he legally owned the firearm used in the incident.
