webfact Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Unpaid brokerage fee believed to be behind Korat mass shooting An unsettled brokerage fee from real estate deal is believed to be the motive behind Sgt. Maj Jakrapanth Thomma’s shooting rampage, according to a Thai PBS investigation. Jakrapanth doubled as a broker for Mrs. Anong Mitchan, a real estate developer and mother-in-law of his commander, Colonel Ananrote Krasae. The investigation found that Jakrapanth had persuaded his army colleagues to buy houses or land from Mrs. Anong and earned substantial brokerage fees from her. He had received all but the last payment, said to be about 50,000 baht, for which he had repeatedly asked her. A meeting was then arranged at Mrs. Anong’s house, in Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima, for Saturday, with Col. Ananrote acting as a mediator. However, when the talks broke down, Jakrapanth drew his pistol and killed both Mrs. Anong and his commander. An army private at the house was also injured.

"Losing face" is a very big deal in Thai culture. Edited February 9, 2020 by Andrew65 17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why she wouldn't pay him. It seems they had done business successfully before. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkcanuck8 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Yes, but a M60 does not make logical sense for a weapon.... hugely impractical... much better options. (not to mention the ammo itself is bulky and heavy) ... not meant for a single person to use as a hand held weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) The international media and social media do share a part of responsability in massively reporting live the madness of such tragic incidents worldwide.

Quite often the case in FarangLand where both extreme reactions to loss of face and mass shootings are common, but you're making a stretch in this case in order to bolster your prejudices. More like a loss of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
