Authorities in Kanchanaburi are reviewing CCTV footage following the fatal shooting of a 53-year-old woman riding in a sidecar motorcycle.
On November 13, 2026, police in Kanchanaburi launched an investigation into the death of 53-year-old Rangsima, who was fatally shot while riding in a sidecar motorcycle driven by her husband, Pornkasem. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the incident involved a shotgun blast. While the husband suggested the attack may have been a targeted dispute over land ownership involving someone close to him—with his wife potentially being struck by a stray shot—police are currently examining several inconsistencies in his account. Specifically, investigators are questioning why the victim was not immediately taken to a hospital following the incident. Police Commander Pol. Maj. Gen. Phasawee Rueangphu has ordered officers to review CCTV footage from the scene and surrounding areas to identify potential suspects. Forensic teams have also been deployed to gather evidence. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights an ongoing police investigation into a violent crime. While authorities are exploring the husband's theory regarding land disputes, they have not ruled out other possibilities. The investigation remains active, and the public is advised to monitor local news for updates as police continue to analyze evidence and verify witness statements.
