Local journalist abducted and murdered in Naklua.

 

 

Police Major Sanai from Pattaya Police Station was called to Soi 16/1 off the Naklua Road to investigate the suspected murder of a local Journalist, Khun Santi aged 38 who works as a journalist for the Pattaya Post Newspaper and is a local representative for the Thai national TV station Channel 7. At the scene senior local, provincial and regional Police Officers had been sent to the scene, led by Police Lieutenant General Jongrak, the Commander of Region 2 Police. The body of the man was discovered in the back seat of his car, a silver colored BMW, his hands were tied together using cable from a mobile phone charger and a piece of material, and his face was partially covered. It appears from initial reports that he was shot twice in the head using his own gun. Forensic teams inspected the car, body and surrounding area and dusted the car for prints. Khun Santi had been missing since Monday night at 9pm. The body was discovered at 7am on Wednesday morning at this location. The exact motive for the attack is unknown but the journalist was known to be involved in a gambling ring here in Pattaya, he was also an outspoken journalist and would often criticize local discotheques, pubs and the local Police and he was also known to spend time with many different women. An intensive investigation is now underway and we expect updates on the story in the coming days.

Shocking. At the same time, within the realm of the believable.

 

Won't somebody post some good news for a change?

His OWN gun??? What type to Thai journalists normally carry?
