Thailand News: A strange case of death has come to light in Thailand. Here a groom has shot and killed 4 people including the bride on the wedding day. Later he also killed himself. Everyone there is shocked and frightened by this incident. According to a BBC report, a groom in Thailand shot and killed four people, including the bride, at his own wedding party with a pistol. Later he also shot himself. The tragic incident occurred on Saturday, November 25, in a village in Wang Nam Khieo district of the north-eastern Thai province of Nakhon Ratchasima.

Chaturong Suksuk, a 29-year-old former soldier and Paralympic athlete, was in a live-in relationship with a woman named Kanchana Pachunthuek, 44, for three years before they decided to get married, according to the Bangkok Post. A traditional wedding ceremony was held on Saturday morning. After this a reception party was given. However, the groom Suksuk suddenly left the wedding party amid the celebrations and returned with a pistol. “They argued over personal matters and Chaturong went to his car and grabbed a gun before shooting,” said Matichon Wongbaokul, a police officer in northeastern Nakhon Ratchasima province.

Bullets fired at mother, sister and guests

The crazy groom started abusing violently. His 62-year-old mother Kanchana and 38-year-old sister died in this attack. He also shot two guests, who were taken to hospital. One of them died while the other was seriously injured. After this the groom shot himself and died instantly. Eleven spent cartridges of 9mm ammunition were recovered from the firing site. The BBC quoted a police spokesperson as saying that the groom was ‘highly intoxicated at the time’, but his motive was unclear. Police are now investigating the case and collecting evidence.

Was a ranger in the army, lost his leg during patrolling

According to the Straits Times, witnesses said the argument stemmed from the groom’s insecurity that his wife would leave him for another man. Because he had become disabled. It is said that he was a Ranger in the Thai Army and had lost his right leg while patrolling the border. Suksuk was also a swimmer, winning two silver medals at the 2022 ASEAN Para Games in Indonesia and Cambodia. Local media reported that he was a Thai Army Ranger and had lost his right leg while on border patrol.

Shooting incidents are common in Thailand

Gun violence is common in Thailand, where guns are readily available, both legal and illegal. While mass shootings are generally rare, the attack comes months after a mall attack last month that left two people dead.
