Progress in Mystery Shooting - Pattaya People

 

 

On Wednesday afternoon, the Pattaya Police Investigating Inspector Pol. Lt. Col. Songkram Pahn-iam and a team of police examined the apartment of the new Pattaya Police Superintendent, Pol. Col. Suwan Chiao-na-win-ta-wat, which is located in the Pattaya Policemen’s Flat behind the Pattaya Police Station, on Soi 9 of Pattaya Beach Road. The apartment had been shot at the back balcony, during the Countdown on Monday, December 31st, 2012. A glass window and a shelf were shattered, but no other injuries were reported.

The police found a 12 gauge shotgun shell on the ground, and witnesses stated that a man, wearing clothes like a policeman but appearing to be very drunk, was walking around the flat before the countdown. When the fireworks started, he fired 1 missile at the back balcony of the Police Superintendent, then fled the scene right before the fireworks finished.

The police now have enough information to track down the shooter, who is thought to be a police officer at the Pattaya Police Station. Legal proceedings will be taken against the gunman, as Pol. Col Suwan expects that he is one of the officers who lost a lot of illegal paybacks due to his new anti-corruption and bribery policies. The new Superintendent is insisting on transparency in all police activities, and receiving bribes from shady businesses will no longer be tolerated.

Mystery Surrounds Two Shooting Incidents on Beach Road - Pattaya People

 

In the early hours of Wednesday, Pattaya Police was called out by the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team to Beach Road near Soi 8 to investigate a shooting incident.  A Mr. Wuttipong aged 27 had been shot three times and was found unconscious.  He was given first aid and then rushed to nearby Pattaya Memorial Hospital.  On searching the area, an officer found a 9mm gun in the sea near the shore.  At the hospital, officers came across another man named Pradit, who had also been shot by an unknown man at a bar on Soi 7.  Pradit died of his wounds, and police believe because he looked very similar to Wuttipong, he was mistakenly shot by the gunman believing he was Wuttipong.  The two cases are being investigated to find out if there is any connection.

Shooting on Thepprasit Road - Pattaya People

 

 

On Sunday at 1:30 am, the Pattaya Police Deputy Suppressing Inspector Pol. Lt. Pallop ring-rod received a report of a shooting on Thepprasit Road, near the Weekend Market, where a group of teenagers were badly injured.

The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team were contacted for assistance, and at the scene, a red-black Honda Scoopy motorcycle was found in the middle of the road, near 3 injured male teenagers, age 15-15-16. One of them had been shot in the middle of his back, one in his right arm and chest, leaving him in a severe condition, and one was spared by the gunshots, and only suffered scrapes from falling off the bike.

The 2 injured teens were given first aid, then sent to Banglamung Hospital. The teen who was uninjured stated that they were on their way back from a live concert in Laem Chabang, with a larger group of motorcyclists and passengers. When they arrived in Pattaya, they were about to drop one teen at his home in Soi Korpai, but they noticed a big group of motorcyclists following them. Then, a male teen from the bike gang pulled out a gun and started shooting at them, before fleeing to Sukhumvit Road.

Further investigations will be made, starting with the CCTV camera videos.  Officials expect that the motive for the shootings could be revenge by an old enemy, or even just a macho, gun-happy teenager showing off his new-found powers.
