Police are searching for a gunman who shot a Laem
Chabang messenger six times in Naklua.
Kengkla Kitthumcharoen, 29, was found slumped over
his motorbike Aug. 6 near the Wuthikorn construction materials outlet in
Soi Tongkao 5. He had suffered shots to the throat, stomach and arms and
was in critical condition at Somdej Ratchthewi Na Sriracha Hospital.
Witnesses reported that a dark-skinned man in his
mid-20s wearing a baseball cap and riding a red-black Honda Wave 110
motorbike shot Kengkla. He had been chasing the victim at high speed
before opening fire and fleeing.
Kengkla’s sister, Chaweewan, said her brother was a
messenger for a Laem Chabang factory and had left home earlier to shop
in South Pattaya. Police said she also said her brother often got into
fights and was previously arrested for drug use.
Police are investigating to determine the motive and
shooter.
