Examining the body, Mr. Jakrit got one shot on his left neck, one shot on his back and the bullet went through the heart and another shot on his left hand palm. He had a lot of scrapes around his legs and arms causing by the falling down motorbike.
Miss Namfon Noowong (25), from Bangkok, wife of the victim, along with other relatives had come to the scene. Miss Namfon had reached to hug her husband and cried her heart out. She explained that she had rung him for picking her up from a beer bar on Soi 8, which they had run it as their long time business. Her husband said he was busy and asked her to go back home by herself which was about 500 meters away from the incident.
Arriving back home, Miss Namfon did not see Mr. Jakrit, but his mobile phone was left at home so she thought that he had not gone very far and expected him back home soon.
Later on, a volunteer police friend of the victim called to informed her that her husband was shot dead. She then rushed to the incident. She had no idea about the motives of killing but she knew that her husband had run many jobs such as: a representative for bailing out cases, a volunteer police and an Ex-candidate for Pattaya Member in Fah-Mai team but failed the election.
Mr. Jakrit was also doing an extra job by selling music copyright to bar owners. He had quite a dispute with many people according to his different works. Mr. jakrit had to carry a gun to protect himself. Lately, her husband had a small argument with the neighbor about their trees had intruded into the house but she did not think this case would related to her husband murder. Miss Namfon said that she does not know about the real motive why her husband was killed and her husband had never said anything about his conflict with people.
Pol.Col.Sarayut declared that police had questioned the people around the area but they said that they only heard the noise of gunshots and the area was very dark. Police assumed that Mr. Jakrit had probably come out to meet an acquaintance for a private business. He was not aware of danger and did not have his gun with him. Presumably, there were two people on a motorbike, who were watching his movement and taking a chance to kill him while he was on his way back home then the killer sped away.
Police had assumed the motives of this brutal killing in many aspects. The working history of the death person, a lot of disputes with many people, either with bar owners who were reported about violating the copyright or about being a volunteer police which caused a lot of problems to many teen gangs. It was possible that he was killed as a vengeance. Another aspect when he was a candidate for Pattaya Member that he had to launch a campaign to offend the competitor but the police said it should not be a motive, However police would not cut all the aspects off. They will seriously searching for more evidences to arrest the criminal who brutally killed Mr. Jakrit as soon as possible.
