A Pathum Thani fruit vendor was arrested on Saturday shortly after she allegedly shot and killed a customer who complained of "rotten oranges".

Klong Luang police were alerted to the shooting at 8am inside the Iyara Market in Pathum Thani's Klong Luang district.

 

Police said Saranya Saksaeng, 30, was shot once on the chest and three times on the abdomen. She was rushed to Thammasat University's hospital where she died.

 

The fruit vendor, Tip Raseemuang, 38, was arrested at her shop and a .38 revolver was found on her with four spent ammunition shells.

 

Tip said she shot the customer out of anger because she accused her of selling rotten oranges. She said she became angry after Saranya threw oranges that she bought in front of the shop and hurled abuse at her.

 

Tip said she lost her temper and pulled out her revolver from the drawer of her desk and shot Saranya. She waited for police at the scene.

Over What...come on! Shot four times for complaining about oranges. Hair trigger psychos everywhere now...can't say anything to anyone these days without some over-the-top reaction. And people wonder why the prevalent anti-social "Don't get involved" attitude to situations and people is so common now. 'Face' sure is a toxic concept here.

So much for jai yen yen attitude . No doubt 40 baht worth of oranges is worth at least 7 years in jail.

Obviously blood oranges.

With a 38 in the drawer, sounds like any time is a bad time
