chuckwoww Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Briton critical after gun attack Shot: Mr. Gary Pearmain, resident of Koh Samui KOH SAMUI: -- A British man and his Thai girlfriend have been seriously injured in a gun attack on a popular Thai resort island, apparently because of a land deal dispute. A gunman entered the victims' house on Thursday night and pretended to ask the woman for directions. When the Briton came downstairs, the attacker fired on them, said police Lt Col Somphong Krutsuwan. The Briton, who has been living on the island of Koh Samui for more than a decade, was shot twice in the chest and once in the arm. His girlfriend was shot in the leg and arm. "The British man is in critical condition, but his girlfriend is still able to speak," Somphong said. Police did not have the victims' names. An initial investigation showed that the motive was a business dispute. "The victim has a conflict with fellow foreigners over the land brokerage deals on Koh Samui," Somphong said. Koh Samui, located 330 miles south of Bangkok, is one of Thailand's most popular tourist destinations. --The Press Association 2005-09-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
