Girl shot dead in Soi 112 Bar

[Jack_Batty]

My wife is very good friends with Gik and Jay and was called up by Gik yesterday to watch out for the killer. It was a girl, and my wife knows who. She is not sure if police has caught her yet. Apparently came with a guy on a motorbike, went inside and shot the wrong girl. She was supposed to shoot Gik. This is what my wife says. Shocking really!!!

If this is true, it is an incredibly insane story. I don't know what the motive would be, but they both seem to be very lovely people. I only knew the victim through an introduction and brief conversation last Thursday, but she seemed like a real sweetheart. This is heartbreaking.

Absolute tragedy, but so many conflicting stories. Ultimately though, a 23 year old girl has lost her life in a bar shooting - incredibly sad.

With you on that. I'm sure the truth will come out.
But as you say, a 23 year old girl has lost her life needlessly.
I'm really having difficulty with this.
I knew her. She was a lovely girl. Did her job.
Was liked by all. A shock and my heart goes out to her family.

Are you sure that's the right report hhinner? That report was in the Market Village area and about a day too soon. I think you meant to post the story above that one maybe?

I'm not going to speculate any more. I'm sure the facts will emerge. A tragic event and if it was a mistaken identity then even more tragic. Time will tell.
As Pharvey says, an innocent young girl lost her life for nothing!! I've always been against the death penalty but there are times when my conviction wavers.
I'd got to know May since the day she started work. Only a couple of days ago, I was having a laugh and joke with her. Not a bad word could be said about her. A little treasure.
It'll be a while before I can put this behind me.

If only I'd known that was possible. But, now that you've changed the link it seems that the only way to see it is to log in to FB. Which not being a FB member I cannot do.

[Big Boy]

A point of clarification, I've changed nothing.

[hhinner]

Ah, my mistake then. I apologise. One of your moderator colleagues must have done it.

[HHTel]

I'm told the police have caught both the culprits. Not confirmed.
Hope it's true.

I'm not sure, but I think this confirms it https://www.banmuang.co.th/news/crime/2 ... 6uHwPPTlTk

^^ This names 4 culprits. The group of 5 pictures in the article shows the victim at the top. The other woman is the person who contracted the hit. The man in blue is the 19 year-old Cambodian gunman. One of the men is still at large.

Google translation of the above referenced Thai language story from link: https://www.banmuang.co.th/news/crime/2 ... 6uHwPPTlTk

A and J, before using a short-barreled shotgun, one shot into the shop and a bullet hit the neck and back of Ms Suthida while sitting in front of the store's mobile phone, drowned in blood.

Suthida died, then the police took all the accused to make a plan for the confession. Ready to issue an arrest warrant for Mr. Worapot who has escaped to continue legal proceedings.

I'd looked at the google translation but it isn't very good, as usual!

I don't know if anyone here were customers at Gig and Jay's (Anonymous handles) but if there are, there's an appeal for donations to help with May's funeral costs. Her family in BKK are on the lower end of income scale. One of the reasons May was working was to help out with her family.

If there is anyone who would like to make a donation, PM me and I'll send their bank details.

Just an update to this - the evil witch (Fon) who orchestrated this was handed a life sentence and told life will mean life. Her lack of remorse, failure to accept an earlier sentence plus cash deal plus her general demeanor throughout the trial seriously pissed off the judge and shes paid for it. It will never bring May back but at least this will provide some solace to her family.

She also recently featured on a thai TV programme about lifers and near smirked her way through the whole interview!

Pure Evil.
