Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Norwegian kills friend then shoots himself in the face during darts game Source: Mr. DER CHA AM:- A 59 year old Norwegian male shot dead his 55 year old friend, a fellow Norwegian, before then shooting himself in the face, following an argument over a game of darts at a restaurant and bar in Cha Am on Thursday evening. Upon arrival at the scene, police found the men lying in a pool of blood outside the Lek Switzerland Restaurant located on Khlong Thian Road. The 55 year old victim was found with gunshot wounds to the stomach and the back of the head, whilst the 59 year old was found with a gunshot wound to his right cheek. A 9mm pistol was also found at the scene. Both men were rushed to Cha Am hospital, which is also located on Khlong Thian Road, where the 55 year old was later pronounced dead. According to Pol Lt Col Yutthana Rattanaphan investigating the incident, the two Norwegians were part of a group of four foreigners who had eaten at the restaurant earlier on Thursday. The two men later began playing darts before an argument followed, where it is believed the 59 year old pulled out the 9mm pistol and shot his friend twice before then turning the gun on himself. Cha Am is a popular weekend getaway for Thai residents of Bangkok and is also home to a small but ever increasing number of foreign nationals, predominantly made up of German and Scandinavian expats. Cha Am is located in the province of Phetchaburi and is approximately 25km from Hua Hin. -- 2015-04-03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post EyesWideOpen Posted April 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2015 And these were NOT Thais, dear posters, but Norwegians........over a game of darts............ So you don't forget when you start bashing the Thais on other similar incidents. May the victim Rests in Peace and the killer rots in jail. Killer shot himself Excellent point. So the Norwegian killer, realized he had made an incredible mistake by shooting his friend, then turns the gun on himself in order to commit instant justice. A Thai guy would have just done a runner....... So you see Costas, rationalizing can cut both ways... :-) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, seems a bit odd for middle aged Norwegians to be packing heat. Maybe with so many Thais blasting people right and left, ( one of the highest gun homicide rates in the world) , maybe farangs are starting to pack now to defend themselves. But sure looks like it went wrong here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Equalizer Posted April 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2015 Guys a bully. You've got the time it takes for the board to revolve before you give us your verdict. Keep out of the black and in the red, nothing in this game when both of you are dead. Come and have a look at what you could have won. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim walker Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I know it can sometimes be hard to accept that your friend is a better dart player than you but this is taking it to a new level think it better he take up dominoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HerbalEd Posted April 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Let me guess. They were both drunk. Don't you just love what alcohol does to people. Imagine murdering your "friend" because you're drunk. I'm ever amazed at the number of men who somehow think it's manly and cool to get drunk on a regular basis. What a bunch of losers.
