Faustian Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yep, Pattaya. Sounds very nasty...RIP. http://www.pattayaone.net/news/2009/october/news_22_10_52.shtml Local Restaurant Owner murdered over an apparent gambling debt. Pattaya, October 22 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : Just before 4am on Thursday, Police Lieutenant Colonel Sanae from Pattaya Police Station was called to the front of the Borbow Supermarket behind the Hollywood Plaza in Soi 17, South Pattaya to investigate an apparent fatal shooting. At the scene was the body of Khun Grailert aged 34. He had been shot 4 times, including a shot to his head. The victim is known to be a restaurant owner and was out drinking with friends and made his way to a local convenience store to buy some whisky and some noodle soup at the front of the store. As he waited for the food, two men, with their faces concealed, pulled up beside the victim and shot at him three times. He then fell off his bike onto a table in front of the food stall and the shooter then approached the victim and shot him in his head. Friends of the victim further revealed that he was currently in dispute with an illegal gambling cartel and on Friday he was due to meet the head of the group, known as Khun Noy to speak about an outstanding debt owed to him. Police are sure the shooting is related to this debt as friends and family of the victim were unable to provide any other possible motive behind the murder. Police are investigating.

Damen Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Never understood why axe someone when they owe you money? CB Cost of doing business. While you may never collect on that particular debt, it makes it less likely that others will give thought to not paying in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I agree with CB in this case. If there was a meeting scheduled for the following day, it makes no sense to off the guy early. Have the meeting and off him there or afterwards. Maybe he was gonna hand over the money then. If not, then whack him. Makes no sense to not follow through with the scheduled meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
