Police in Pattaya are on the hunt for a male suspect who shot a 35-year-old chicken and rice vendor yesterday. Sakphadung Benjakul, owner of Boss Chicken Rice, located on Pattaya’s Theppasit Road, told police that the shooting followed an argument he had with a customer concerning chicken rice sauce. Sakphadung said that he refused to provide more sauce to the man, who was eating chicken rice with his girlfriend. While Sakphadung was clearing a nearby table, he accidentally knocked over the man’s sauce cup, which precipitated the fight. The patron fled the shop only to return shortly thereafter with a 9mm pistol, which he fired at Sakphadung. Fortunately, the bullet only grazed the vendor’s head, causing him a slight injury. Police will gather more evidence in order to catch the shooter, Channel 7 reported. via Coconuts | Bangkok |.

A Libyan man was shot dead and two Thai bystanders were wounded during a brawl at a pub in Bangkok, police said on Tuesday. Pol Lt Col Opas Kwansomkid, an investigative officer at Pathumwan police station, said the victims were taken to Hua Chiew hospital. Esam Ali Elhamadi, 33, later succumbed to his injuries. The two injured Thais were Kittipong Pijarn, 26, and Katiya Attabutr, 30. Police, with the assistance from a witness, later arrested the alleged gunman, Ekethana Saengdokmai, and seized a pistol as evidence. Pol Lt Col Opas said the suspect testified that he and his friends got into a fight with a group of foreigners while they were all drinking at the Spicy Pub, Rong Muang Soi 1, in Phathumwan district. He said his side was outnumbered so he pulled out his gun and fired multiple rounds at Elhamadi. The suspect said Mr Kittipong and Ms Katiya were hit by stray bullets and were not involved with the fight. Police charged the man with murder and possession of a firearm in a public area. They took him into custody at Pathumwan police station for further proceedings. via Arab dies, two shot in Bangkok bar fight | Bangkok Post: breakingnews.
