    Five family members found shot to death

    Three men, a woman and a 9-year old boy were found dead, in what is suspected to be a multiple suicide or murder-suicide, at a house in the Suksawat area of Bangkok on Thursday morning.


    Neighbours reportedly said they heard several gunshots inside the house in a housing estate and immediately alerted the police.


    Police from Thun Khru police station rushed to the scene, where they found the victims lying dead on the floor in pools of blood. One of the men was found to be holding a pistol in his hand.


    Police said that the man with the gun was the owner of a company, but had no idea of the actual motive behind the deaths of the five members of the same family.


    Pol Col Suravet Karnwattanasirikul, Superintendent of Thung Khru police station, told the media that the five victims were members of a family which engaged in the auto parts trade.


    An investigation is underway.

    Former Soldier Kills His Entire Family Before Shooting Himself

    A former soldier has shot and killed his parents, wife and child before killing himself at their house in Bangkok on Thursday morning. It later emerged the father’s business had a cash-flow problem, and he was having trouble paying his workers’ wages.


    The fatal multiple shooting occurred at Alicha Place 2 housing estate in Bangkok. It was reported by a neighbour, who heard gunshots and screaming inside the house about 6am. Police called to the scene found the gate to the house locked from the inside.


    After cutting the gate open and entering the premises they found two dead bodies on the first floor of the house. The house also served as an office for Well Industrial Supply Co, which sells chemicals and car care products.


    An elderly woman was found shot dead at the door to a room used for worship. Her husband, Mr. Prawit Khlaiphayak, was dead inside the room.


    The couple were the parents of Sgt Maj Anuwat Khlaiphayak. He was found shot dead together with his wife Wiphang Chumpaijit and their 9-year-old son Pakhin Khlaiphayak in their bedroom on the second floor.


    Even more a neighbour told police the five family members had lived together in the house for more than five years.


    Around 6am he heard screaming and also several gunshots. About 7am, he went to the house to check if everyone was all right. Also nobody had emerged to send the boy off to school. He looked through the gate and saw the grandmother lying on the floor inside. He immediately called police.


    Pol Capt Natthakit said it was believed Anuwat shot his family dead and then turned the gun on himself.


    Investigators were looking into possible conflict over business, family or personal problems as possible motives. Relatives and other parties would be questioned, he said.


    A Bangkok Police spokesman Pol Col Kissana Phathanacharoen later confirmed the five dead people were all family members – parents, son and grandparents. The family had a business selling auto parts, engine oil and car wash products.


    A .38 revolver was found in the right hand of the dead father, he said. The bodies were sent to Siriraj Hospital for postmortem examination.


    Narong Tor-ngam, 40, told the Bangkok Post reporter his friend Anuwat had liquidity problems. He said he had known Anuwat for over 20 years. They were batch mates at the army’s Non-Commissioned Officers School. Anuwat resigned from the military after his marriage to run an export business. He later shifted to building houses.


    About a month ago, Anuwat had consulted him, saying his business had cash-flow problems. He also asked him to help find 200,000 baht to pay his workers’ wages, he said.


    Mr Narong had travelled from Nakhon Pathom to arrange documents to take charge of his friend’s body, Thai media reported.
