Teen gang fatally shoots boy in Udon Thani province
A group of teenagers ruthlessly chased down and fatally shot a 14 year old boy in the Nong Han District, Udon Thani province, leaving two of his peers severely injured.
The horrific incident occurred on the evening of March 31, in the village of Ban Yang. Captured by CCTV, five youths on two motorcycles pursued the group to a dead-end alley where the shooting took place.
The following day, law enforcement swiftly apprehended the suspects, identified as 16 year old Tang, the gunman; 15 year old Na, the motorcycle driver and weapon concealer; along with Mark, Wave, and Id, all 15 years old.
The teenagers hail from the neighbouring Pa Kao community. Tang and Na confessed to the crime while the other three denied involvement. Police seized a homemade shotgun, known locally as an Epo gun, as evidence and charged the group with intentional murder and attempted murder.
During the emotional funeral service for the deceased 14 year old, Arm, at Wat Na Kha, his mother, Supranee, and those close to him gathered for a final farewell. Mourners were enveloped in grief, especially Arm’s mother, who lamented the loss of her only son.
Meanwhile, Tert, Arm’s friend who had miraculously survived a head injury, joined the mourners, and Chita, the other friend who was injured, remained hospitalised. After the funeral, Supranee revealed a chilling detail: a fresh bloodstain mysteriously appeared opposite where Arm had died, a sign she interpreted as her son’s spirit seeking justice.
In a harrowing twist, the perpetrators continued to post threatening messages online, insinuating that Arm’s friends might be their next targets, heightening fears of further violence. Supranee expressed concern for her family’s safety and for those close to Arm, reported KhaoSod.
In a poignant account, Kanyarat, Arm’s aunt, recounted how her five year old son claimed to have seen Arm’s spirit pacing in front of their house, a vision that occurred after a ceremony to invite Arm’s spirit home, suggesting that the young boy was not ready to leave and was seeking a final goodbye.
