Thread: Motorcycle Rider Killed By Single Gun Shot Over Road Rage

On Monday night, an agitated pickup driver fired a “threatening gun shot” at the driver of a six-wheel truck in Samut Prakan, killing a passing motorcycle rider who was taking his girlfriend to the hospital.


Supakorn Chankhati, 24, was shot in the right side of his skull while riding his motorcycle to the hospital with his girlfriend at 7 p.m. on Bang Phli-Tamru Road in tambon Bang Poo Mai.




Rescue crews took him to a local hospital, where he died from his gun shot injury.


Bang Poo police chief Pol Col Pisut Chansuwan said CCTV footage led police to arrest Burapa Jiamyu, 26, in a housing complex on Soi Mangkorn Road around 9.30 p.m. on Monday. The individual allegedly acknowledged to the shooting.


Mr Burapa claimed he was driving an ice delivery vehicle when he became enraged by the behavior of a six-wheel truck driver on Bang Phli-Tamru Road. They had a fight at a gas station. When Mr Burapa pulled a gun, the truck driver retreated and drove away, brandishing a steel bar.


According to police, the pickup driver acknowledged to overtaking, stopping front of the six-wheeler, and firing a gunshot.




Mr. Burapa claimed he simply intended to fire a threatening gun shot, but the bullet struck a passing biker. He had stolen the gun from a teenage neighbor before dropping it after the incident.


Sudarat Singruang, the victim’s 23-year-old girlfriend, said she had a stomachache and that Supakorn was transporting her on his motorcycle to the hospital on his motorcycle. Supakorn slumped in front of her after hearing a gunshot. Fortunately, she was able to manage and stop the motorcycle by reaching around him.


She had no idea why he would have been shot. They had no disagreements with anyone. She also claimed to have seen the alleged shooter at the site.

How unlucky. Wrong place, wrong time.

Lets see the serial codes on that gun and find out where it came from. I forgot, we don't do that.

Yeah.

Imagine a trip to the fucking zoo and you take a round from a chimp in the Monkey House.

Welcome to Thailand.

But, pulleeaasse, Monkey Boy, stop with the fucking cliches. They’re fucking murder.

Well that gun he'd pinched that afternoon certainly came in handy fast.

WTF!

What is wrong with everyone today. Stop with the fucking cliches and anodyne drivel.

Evidently not.

Physician, heal thyself.

Why might the teenage neighbour have needed a gun? Another kid going down the wrong track.

The sheer diversity and proliferation of gun ownership in this stupid little country is such that any violent exchange with a stranger should be avoided or treated with the utmost caution, unless of course you are suitably armed and can get the first round in.
From teenagers to senators, all the fuckers can be tooled up and have all the emotional development and rationale of a hungry Tasmanian devil.
Shitty people, shitty society, shitty country.

I don't think you need worry about altercations, the chickenheads can't shoot straight for toffee, as in this case you are more likely to get hit by Somchais stray bullet when his yabba twitch coincides with pulling the trigger.

Probably one of your more dumb comments to be honest.

Don't feel challenged Hazza, your dumb comments are as ubiquitous as Izusu pickup.

It is illegal to not wear a helmet in Thailand. However, despite the laws, many still choose to risk their lives by not wearing one.

I'm not sure how much a helmet would have saved him from being shot in the head.

Was a tongue in cheek thing Willy.

He’s quite thick, isn’t he.

Many of the guns are hand-made, although I didn't see any mention of that in the article.

Most of the ones I've seen, other than flintlocks, are 'pen' guns but I've also seen quite a few breach action single shot .38 and 12-gauge guns. They are often used for self defence when sleeping out on the farms, protecting from cattle and fish thieves.
