Argument between Bangkok ‘Win’ drivers ends in a fatal shooting

A motorcycle taxi driver, aka. ‘win’ driver, has surrendered to Bangkok police after shooting and killing a fellow Win driver. The incident happened in the Prachacheun area, north of the Bangkok metropolis near Chatuchak.

A CCTV video shows 53 year old Chatchai Sukjaidee travelling down Soi Sarmsuk in the Bang Sue area. But 44 year old Sompong called him back to the rank where a short but heated conversation ensued between the two. Thai Rath reports that the two men were attempting to resolve an ongoing conflict that had been festering for many months.

The video shows that, after about 15 seconds of argument, Sompong stepped back from his former friend and shot him 6 times with a .22 gun at very close range. Chatchai, who slumped on the bike, eventually stumbled off but fell and died at the scene.

Sompong then headed off on his motorcycle to his mother’s house in Sai Mai,…
