webfact Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Wheelchair-bound man found shot dead in Chiang Mai By The Nation A wheelchair-bound man was found dead with two gunshot wounds under a flyover in Chiang Mai’s Meuang district on Tuesday morning, police said. The district police station was alerted at 7.30am that a body had been discovered in a wheelchair beneath a flyover on the Chiang Mai-Lampong road in Tambon Tha Sala. The man, who has yet to be identified, had gunshot wounds to the chest and right temple. The deceased, wheelchair-bound due to his legs having been amputated, appeared to come from a well-to-do family, as he wore a luxury watch and his wheelchair was an expensive imported brand, police said. An STI .45 pistol was found on his lap. Police have yet to conduct ballistic tests to establish whether his death was the result of a murder in disguise, or a suicide. Phet Chakbuakham, a truck driver who had parked his vehicle to take a rest under the flyover, said he heard two loud bangs at around 2am to 3 am, but he thought it was the sound of firecrackers and did not look outside his cab to check further.

Damrongsak Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 An STI .45 pistol ... a luxury gun. $$$$. About 64,000 Baht in the USA, much more here I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can read, in my comment i said poor man, that was clearly relating to the mans physical situation. You are obviously not disabled, or you would not have made that comment.

FolkGuitar Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Quote Police have yet to conduct ballistic tests to establish whether his death was the result of a murder in disguise, or a suicide. Suicide? Really? Shot twice? And with a .45 caliber pistol? A .45 round is about 11.5mm in diameter. That's BIGGGG hole. But more importantly, a .45 caliber round has the same impact of getting hit with 400lb sledge hammer. Just try and imagine that. Which came first? The 400lb sledge hammer blow to the chest, which at the very least would have knocked him unconscious, or the one to his temple, which would have blown off the other side of his head exiting? Remarkable determination to be able to do this to one's self twice... Reminds me of the pronouncement of suicide for the guy who fell on his knife, in the back, 5 times.

You are obviously not disabled, or you would not have made that comment. Ok, so he was wheelchair bound. We do not know the circumstances as to why he ended up that way. His circumstance does not automatically make him an angel, pure of heart and full of love. Sometimes, some very bad people end up in a wheelchair. The article is short on facts and we know nothing about the deceased; Good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be true, if the bullet should stop on impact, but that's not the case when a bullet hit a human body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabarin Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Assisted suicide sounds more like it and otherwise murder. Bit strange to pick that location if suicide though, money is clearly no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingmai331 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm going with the assisted suicide theory. Vic held the gun for the first shot to the chest. He then learned that he was still alive so asked his friend to pop him in the head. Hence 2 shots. but not murder IMO. advise all to let the guy go.

soalbundy Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 gun found on his lap, if that was a suicide the recoil from the gun would have sent the gun flying out of his hand to land several meters away on the ground. About 17 years ago I was staying on Koh Samui, a shopkeeper was shot twice in the back of his head, the police ruled it to be suicide, the neighbours who knew a little more said his son did it.
