Thai media were following up on the case of the fatal shooting of the leader of the military band at a camp in the north east of Thailand. 

 

Rungchalerm Phansawat or "Officer Ball" was hit in the neck once and twice under the armpit. He died in Nakhon Phanom hospital later after the attack around 7.30 pm Wednesday evening.

 

The assailant was reported on a motorcycle and had a full face helmet. 

 

But CCTV around the 3rd Infantry Battalion Phrayod Muang Khwang camp on the Sakon Nakhon to Nakhon Phanom road showed no one of that description.

Police therefore believe that it was done by an assassin within the camp who knew the lay of the land well. 

 

They are hedging their bets as to why officer Ball was shot giving equal weight to an argument over a woman, drugs, a personal dispute or even mistaken identity.

 

The wife and relatives think that it is a case of mistaken identity pointing to the fact that Ball had a motorcycle similar to three of four others in the camp and the killer may have thought he was someone else.
