Police are trying to determine why a Sattahip
fisherman was shot and killed in a Huay Yai village.
Aumphol Chuemorn, 26, suffered a fatal 38-caliber
shot to the neck Jan. 10 on a roadside near a pawn shop in Thunglaharn
Village. He was pronounced dead at Wat Yansangwararam Hospital about 12
kilometers south of Pattaya.
Police could not find any witnesses and nearby
residents were not talking to police.
Aumphol’s 23-year-old wife, Wannika Pitatan, said he
had left their Sattahip home that morning supposedly to go to the pier
to help paint. When she called the pier later, Wannika was told Aumphol
had been picked up by a man on a motorbike and left.
Wannika, who said her husband would often disappear
for days at a time without telling her, said she didn’t know how or why
he ended up in Huay Yai.
