Oops!: "Stolen money" found under a pillow after old neighbor shoots his bestie's son in the stomach

Soon Nern police in Nakorn Ratchasima have charged a man in Maklua Kao village with attempted murder after he thought his best mate's son had stolen 47,900 baht from him. 

 

Nikom Makong, 74, thought Tawee Srijantheuk had robbed him after a drinking session on Monday evening. 

 

But Nikom's son later found the money under his dad's pillow. 

 

Soon Nern police were called to a house in the village yesterday morning where Tawee was lying grievously wounded. His intestines were coming out and he was rushed to a local hospital thence to Maharat Hospital in Nakorn Ratchasima. 

 

Police quickly learned that the shooter was neighbor Nikom.

 

The victim's father Bunnark Srijantheuk related the scarcely believable story of what transpired. 

 

On Monday evening Nikom - his best mate and neighbor - had come round to say that he had got 48,000 baht from the sale of his rice crop. He gave a 1,000 baht note to Bunnark's son to go and buy a bottle of lao khao (white spirit) to celebrate.

 

Tawee returned with the alcohol and returned the 940 baht change to Nikom. Then a drinking session began. 

 

Nikon got so paralytic by the end of the session that Tawee had to virtually carry him home to his house and bed. 

 

But when dawn broke on Tuesday Nikon came over in a fury claiming that his money was gone and that his son had stolen it. He said just 40 baht was in his wallet. He demanded to know where was the other 47,900 baht. 

 

Tawee said that it was all ridiculous - why would he steal from a man whom he considered as much as a father as his own. 

 

But Nikom would not be placated. After Bunnark got annoyed with his protestations and said he should go to police he went back home to his house in a mad fury and got a gun. 

 

When he returned to his house Tawee tried to calm the situation down but was shot in the abdomen. 

 

Police arrested Nikom and took him in. 

 

Shortly afterwards, however, the son of the suspect arrived at the police station. He had found the missing money - all 47,900 baht of it - hidden under the old man's pillow. 

 

But it was too late to take back what had happened, reported Daily News. 

 

Nikom had already been charged with attempted murder.

My gut (which is still on the insides) thinks that it was his own son that had the money and then "put it" under the pillow now that it is all in the hands of the police.  Just a silly theory, but putting money under a pillow really is only done by tooth fairies.

And on what basis of FACT do you base your assumption??

Fact beyond reasonable doubt, the proof required under English law to secure a conviction.

Who in their right minds bring 47,900 baht to a "drinking session"?

Well, as a few others have also mentioned, the man in the OP sure didn't.  He came with B1,000 and left the rest under his pillow as the article said.

Not loong, he left it under the pillow. But he did bring his gun.

No, he didn't have a gun at the session...

"But Nikom would not be placated. After Bunnark got annoyed with his protestations and said he should go to police he went back home to his house in a mad fury and got a gun".

And where did I say it was fact ... gut not equal fact and that is easy to understand since that is pretty standard conversational english...

 

When I have something precious and I actually make the effort to hide it...   I remember it -- even when falling down drunk....   It is when I am not giving any thought to where I put something down without any thought to where that I have trouble finding.  How many times have you been in a hotel room and "hidden" have you just put it under a pillow?  Under the mattress maybe, under a rug possibly, behind something up and out of the way maybe... but again only tooth fairies and very young kids think hiding something precious under a pillow is a great place.  Now you have your father very angry because someone stole something, what pray tell gave the son the idea to not believe his father and look under his pillow (again it is not the places I would really think a high probablity to find hidden treasure).  Something is odd here... and again... in vernacular english... it is a gut feeling...

Perhaps he had a lot of teeth.
