Police File Four Serious Charges Against Suspect in Nonthaburi Double Homicide
Authorities have formally charged a man following a fatal shooting involving relatives in Nonthaburi, stemming from a long-standing land dispute.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, police in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi, have initiated legal proceedings against a man identified as Theeramat. He is accused of shooting and killing two relatives, 71-year-old Sanga and 74-year-old Suda, at their residence on July 28, 2026.
Police Inspector Pol. Maj. Suriya Phonchu stated that officers visited the suspect at his hospital bed on July 29 to formally notify him of four serious criminal charges. The suspect had sustained injuries during the incident after being apprehended by others at the scene. Investigators report that the motive for the violence appears to be a decade-long legal dispute regarding access to the property.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights a tragic escalation of a private family conflict. While such events are isolated, they underscore the intensity that property-related disagreements can sometimes reach in local communities.
As of now, the suspect remains under medical care, and authorities are in the process of filing a request for his detention with the court. Further details regarding the specific legal proceedings and the suspect's recovery timeline remain to be confirmed by the Bang Bua Thong police station as the investigation continues.
