Time to hire a hitman
The mother of a violent druggie in Loei province admits arranging for a hitman to kill her son, as she was fed up with his constant attacks.
Kaew Phothong
Kaew Phothong, 57, gave herself up to Chiang Kan police last week after her son, tattoo-clad Weerapan Pothong, 31, was shot dead outside his house.
The gunman shot him once with a 12 gauge shotgun pistol before fleeing under cover of darkness. The victim didn’t see it coming, as he was sitting facing towards the house firing up a wood stove at the time.
Sarn Phothong
Shortly after, his mother, Ms Kaew, accompanied by her elder brother and uncle of the victim, Sarn Phothong, 65, who hired the gunman, and Somsa Saenjaiwut, 64, the man he hired, handed themselves in to police. They felt guilty about what they had done so decided to come forward, reports said.
