In a quiet corner of Nong Phai Subdistrict, Mueang Sisaket District, a community was shattered by a gruesome crime scene. The victims, including the director of a local elementary school, her newlywed lawyer husband, and two female relatives—her mother and aunt—met a tragic end. Amidst this chaos, a 10-year-old boy, the director’s son, narrowly escaped and sought help from neighbors.
According to initial reports from Mueang Sisaket Police Station, the perpetrator responsible for this heinous act was identified as the director’s former husband. Following a bitter divorce, tensions between the ex-couple escalated, exacerbated by unresolved disputes over property rights.
Allegedly, the ex-husband laid claim to the house where the fatal shooting occurred and had previously issued chilling threats against the director and her family, demanding they vacate the premises under dire consequences.
Despite the director’s recent remarriage just two months prior, animosities with her ex-husband continued to simmer. Tragically, on the day of the incident, he acted upon his threats, resulting in the senseless loss of four lives.
Promptly responding to the unfolding tragedy, authorities launched an intensive manhunt for the suspect, tracking his movements as he fled to his hometown in Buriram Province. Setting up checkpoints across the province, police swiftly identified a vehicle matching the description provided.
The pursuit came to a poignant conclusion in Phaisan Subdistrict, Prakhon Chai District, where officers confronted the suspect. In a distressing turn of events, he chose to end his own life inside the vehicle rather than face justice.
The community remains in shock as they grapple with the aftermath of this devastating event. Condolences pour in for the victims and their grieving families, while authorities continue their investigations to piece together the events leading up to this tragic loss of life.
